Polypropylene is a widely used general-purpose plastic. Its main characteristics are low specific gravity, good rigid chemical stability, low water absorption and excellent high frequency performance, and its disadvantages are brittleness of products at low temperature, high molding shrinkage rate and low heat distortion temperature. Lijia Company enhances the performance of PP to a new level and gives products special purposes by adopting advanced formulas and equipments and using modified methods such as reinforcement, flame retardancy, toughening, transparency, high gloss, heat resistance, antistatic measure.
Performance and application of typical products:
