LAYPROLENE ™ is a lightweight, versatile polypropylene compound engineered to offer an optimal balance of chemical resistance, fatigue durability, and cost-effectiveness. As a semi-crystalline thermoplastic, it is valued for its low density, excellent processability, and performance across applications requiring durability and flexibility. LAYPROLENE ™ demonstrates high resistance to acids, alkalis, and solvents, low moisture absorption, outstanding electrical insulation, thermal stability with a melting point of 160–170°C, and superior fatigue resistance ideal for hinge-based designs. Its adaptability allows it to be filled, reinforced, or modified to meet diverse performance needsincluding high stiffness, flame retardancy, and impact resistancemaking it suitable for a broad range of industrial and commercial applications.
From an engineering perspective, Polypropylene stands out for its low density-to-performance ratio, making it ideal for applications where weight reduction is critical. Its semi-crystalline structure provides good dimensional stability while maintaining flexibility. PP’s excellent chemical inertness makes it suitable for storage containers, automotive under-hood components, and healthcare packaging.
One of PP’s unique characteristics is its resistance to environmental stress cracking, even under cyclic loading, giving it a performance edge in long-life applications. Additionally, its low dielectric constant and resistance to moisture make it ideal for electrical insulative components. It can be processed easily through injection moulding, blow moulding, and extrusion, offering high productivity at lower cost.
