The motor vehicle industry uses a wider range of polypropylene applications than any other industry, all of which exploit the fundamental advantages of polypropylene.
Applications range from bumper covers weighing several kilograms to control knobs weighing a few grams.
Processes include injection moulding, low pressure moulding, blow moulding, thermoforming, profile extrusions, and extruded fibre for automotive carpet.
Grades range from homopolymer through to fully chemically coupled glass reinforced compounds, with many newer applications requiring tailor made properties to optimise performance and minimise cost.
