SABIC® PP: Versatile Polypropylene for Diverse Applications

Sabic is the largest polyolefin producer in the Middle East and one of the largest players worldwide. In addition to its production sites in Saudi Arabia, Sabic gained a foothold in Europe when it took over the STAMYLAN® P business of DSM in the late nineties.

Sabic offers an extensive portfolio of materials, enabling customers to choose the right product for every conversion technique, including blown film, cast film, extrusion blow moulding (EBM), injection stretch blow moulding (ISBM), thermoforming, injection moulding, fibre spinning, and extrusion.

Polypropylene is typically divided into three main groups, each displaying different outstanding properties. Therefore, Sabic® PP is used in many different applications:

• PP Homopolymer: Has the highest stiffness.
• PP Copolymer: Has the highest impact resistance.
• PP Random Copolymer: Has the highest transparency.
   

SABIC® PP Offers:

• Good to high stiffness, allowing possible down gauging.
• High temperature resistance, enabling filling at high temperatures, microwave use, and sterilisation.
• Chemical inertness, providing stress cracking resistance.
• Steam barrier properties, ensuring food protection.
• Nucleated or clarified grades, offering higher stiffness and transparency.
• Outstanding impact/rigidity balance, allowing the substitution of more expensive polymers.
• Easy to stretch, making it excellent for film and fibre applications.
• Good hinge properties, allowing advanced part design and cost savings.
   

Typical Sabic® PP Applications: Sabic® PP is suitable for a wide range of 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.
