Polypropylene (PP) is partially crystalline thermoplastic polymer that is obtained by polymerizing propylene. It belongs to the polymers group. Polypropylene is one of the most versatile polymers with applications both as a plastic and as a fibre.

We have a wide product range enabling us to offer technical solutions to all end markets for polypropylene. Thanks to our technology, we are able to provide all four of the main polypropylene families to our customers.
