Braskem Brazil PP: High-Performance and Reliable

Braskem is a top producer of polypropylene (PP) resins, offering a diverse range of products to meet industry needs. As the fourth largest PP producer globally, Braskem focuses on delivering high-quality materials with exceptional properties.

General Information on Polypropylene:

Polypropylene is one of the most versatile plastics, processed using various methods like blown film, cast film, extrusion blow moulding (EBM), injection stretch blow moulding (ISBM), thermoforming, injection moulding, fibre spinning, and extrusion. It is typically classified into three main categories, each with distinct superior properties:

• PP Homopolymer: Offers the highest stiffness

• PP Copolymer: Provides the highest impact resistance

• PP Random Copolymer: Ensures the highest transparency

Main Properties of Polypropylene:

Polypropylene is known for its lightweight nature, with a density of 0.905, making it one of the lightest polymers available. It boasts excellent chemical resistance, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. Additionally, it is cost-effective, being one of the cheapest materials on the market. Polypropylene also has good temperature resistance, making it suitable for microwave applications. It is a very safe polymer, being non-toxic, food-approved, and suitable for medical applications. The material offers a wide variety of properties across three families, making it an excellent base for compounding. It is also easy to recycle and re-use, with deadfold and integral hinge properties.

Strengths and Applications:

Braskem offers a large portfolio of high stiffness HPP grades, making it an excellent base for compounding and upgrading the stiffness or MFI of recycled materials. This is particularly beneficial for injection moulding (IM) customers requiring higher stiffness, replacing PP 10% talcum filled, and high MFI HPP (110). Additionally, Braskem provides an extensive range of high impact resins for injection moulding, a full portfolio of thermoforming addressing all challenges, and a comprehensive range in H/C/R in fractional melt. Braskem also offers Post Consumer Recycled (PCR) grades, as well as mass balanced options, supporting sustainable practices.

PP Capacity in Brazil:

Braskem's polypropylene production capacity in Brazil is 1850KT per year, ensuring a steady supply of high-quality PP resins to meet market demands.

Typical Applications:

Braskem polypropylene resins are used in various applications, including food packaging, pails, crates and boxes, caps and closures, fibres and staple fibres, films, tubes and pipes, sheets and profiles, housewares, and consumer goods.
