Polypropylene

Polypropylene

Polypropylene (PP) is a material which produces parts with excellent plasticity, higher elongation, low moisture absorption, and chemical resistant properties. It is perfect for containers, piping, and fluid systems. Because PP is biocompatible, it is also great for consumer goods or medical applications. Polypropylene is a cost-effective option with high performance capabilities. This material is used for production with HP Multi Jet Fusion.
