PROTEC® COPOLYMER POLYPROPYLENE (CPP)
|
Protec CP is one of various types of "impact copolymers"—a rapidly growing segment
of the thermoplastic sheet market. In contrast to homopolymer polypropylene
(which involves the polymerization of a single monomer), impact copolymer
synthesis consists of additional copolymerization of propylene and ethylene in a
secondary reactor. By varying the secondary reactor conditions and the quantities
of comonomer used, final properties can be tailored to meet a wide range of specific
end-use application characteristics.
Protec is formulated to provide high levels of impact resistance as well as corrosion
resistance against a broad group of reagents, including organic solvents, degreasing
agents and electrolytic solutions. Protec is a mid-density polypropylene, which retains
its high tensile strength at elevated temperatures.
