Homopolymer polypropylene is a translucent, crystalline polymer which exhibits high stiffness, good impact strength at room temperatures, and good electrical insulation properties. The commercial grades of polypropylene homopolymer are available in a wide range of melt flows and molecular weight distributions. Special additive packages are available to meet the needs of individual applications.

Homopolymer grades of polypropylene are available for various fabrication processes such as injection molding, sheet and thermoforming, biaxially oriented film (BOPP), capacitor film, fiber spinning and slit tape.

The wide range in physical properties, relative ease of processing, and low density make polypropylene an extremely attractive material capable of competing with more expensive resins in a number of demanding applications.
