It is an abrasion resistant thermoplastic used in sacks, ropes, gelatin, garden furniture, big bags, yarn and medical equipment products. It is translucent and crystalline, and is one of the lightest of thermoplastics.
Production of PP Raffia
Polypropylene, that is, pp raffia, has a high dielectric coefficient and heat insulation property because it is non-polar. It is processed by all methods applied to thermoplastics. Injection molding technique is also used and parts with smooth surfaces are produced.
Use of PP Raffia
It is a polymer with a density of 0.90 to 0.91 g/cm³ and is especially used in rope production. It is used in fishing, fish farms, yacht and boat equipment, industry, agriculture, construction sector and sports equipment. It is highly resistant to sunlight and has UV additives. It is produced in different thicknesses and weights. Although it is less hard than LDPE in terms of structure, it is much less brittle than HDPE.
Properties of PP Raffia
PP raffia, which is a very cheap product, is a product with low dye retention. . Since its density is low, it is used instead of metal or wood materials. It is a cheap and high quality engineering plastic. It does not contain any element that threatens health in case of contact with food. It can be combined by welding. It has high chemical and electrical resistance as well as abrasion and high tensile strength. It has less fragility. It is not affected by diluted acids. It is milky white in color and semi-transparent.
PP raffia, which is the most popular fiber, is used in the production of sacks and curtains. It is easy to clean and fast to dry.
