What are the types of PP modified materials?

PP stands for polypropylene, which has the advantages of low density, low cost, high impact resistance, and low odor. However, PP has large shrinkage, poor flame retardancy, and low hardness, which limits its application scope. There are many types of PP modified materials, the purpose of which is to improve the above shortcomings and expand the scope of application. The editor of Qingdao Mattel Plastics summarizes the most widely used PP modified plastics as follows:

1. Heat-resistant PP modified material: mainly adding stone powder or mica and other materials to the PP raw material to improve the heat resistance of the material;

2. Reinforced PP: By adding glass fiber, organic fiber, asbestos or inorganic fillers (such as talcum powder, calcium carbonate) to enhance the mechanical properties of PP, improve its rigidity and heat resistance;

3. Weather-resistant PP: By modifying the PP material to improve its weather resistance, the outdoor service life of the PP material is increased. It is mainly used in outdoor products such as home appliance housings, indoor and outdoor air conditioner components, and assembled floors.

4. High gloss PP: It is a high gloss polypropylene plastic, mainly used in small household appliances, rice cookers, toilet lids, coffee machines, etc.

In addition, there are modification methods such as toughening modification and blending modification. These modified PP materials have greatly expanded the application scope of PP through different modification technologies, meeting the specific requirements of different industries for material performance.
