PP sheets are
also known as sheets of polypropene. These sheets are made from
thermoplastic polymers which are utilized in an extensive variety of
applications including textiles like carpets, thermal under wear,
ropes etc., labeling and packaging, plastic parts, stationery,
various types of reusable containers, loudspeakers, laboratory
equipment, polymer banknotes and automotive components.
These sheets which
are used commercially are isotactic or semi crystalline which have
the level of crystallinity intermediate between the high density
polyethylene or HDPE or low density polyethylene or LDPE. These
sheets are usually flexible and tough especially when these sheets
with ethylene are copolymerized. This allows these sheets to be
utilized as competing with substances like ABS or as an engineering
plastic. PP sheets are relatively economical and when uncolored
can be designed translucent but like other plastic sheets as acrylic
or polystyrene are not readily designed transparent. These sheets are
colored using pigments or are often opaque. These sheets have
excellent resistance to fatigue.
At a certain range
the melting points of these sheets occur so by finding the highest
temperature of a chart of differential scanning calorimetry, the
melting point of these sheets are determined. These sheets which are
perfectly isotactic have melting point of 340 degree Fahrenheit or
171 degree centigrade. These sheets which are commercially isotactic
have range of melting point from 320 to 331 degree Fahrenheit or 160
to 166 degree centigrade which depends upon the factors of
crystallinity and atactic materials. These sheets which are
syndiotactic have melting point of 266 degree Fahrenheit or 130
degree centigrade with 30% of crystallinity.
There are three
manufacturing process used to fabricate these sheets. In hydrocarbon
suspension or slurry a liquid inert hydrocarbon is utilized to
facilitate the transfer to the catalyst from propylene which is
diluted in the reactor. This hydrocarbon removes or deactivates the
catalyst, eliminates heat from the system and also helps the atactic
polymer in dissolving. In bulk slurry or bulk liquid propylene is
used rather than the diluents liquid inert hydrocarbon. The polymer
is carried on the liquid propylene and it does not liquefy in the
diluents. The polymer which is formed is withdrawn and the monomer
which does not react flashes off. In gas phase, gaseous propylene is
used and when with the solid catalyst it comes in contact, a
fluidized bed medium is produced.
These PP
Sheets are used in various promotional,
packaging and protective applications. These sheets are used in
making heat molded and extruded plastic items. These sheets are
easily available online. Persons or organizations interested in
availing these can directly contact the manufacturers.
