Polymer

Polymers are made up of very large molecules made up of many repeating units called monomers, which ultimately form this long polymer chain

Biobased PolyPropylene (Bio-PP)

Biobased PolyPropylene (Bio-PP) is a polymer produced from renewable resources such as plants instead of crude oil. It is considered a sustainable alternative to conventional polypropylene and is widely used in various industries.

Bio-PP Production Process

Bio-PP production includes the following steps:

Extraction of bio-based raw materials: Raw materials such as sugarcane, corn or other sugar-containing plants are used to produce bio-based raw materials.
Conversion to bio-propylene: Bio-based raw materials are converted into bio-propylene, which is the main monomer for the production of polypropylene.
Polymerization: Bio-propylene molecules are linked together to form long polypropylene chains.

Bio-PP Applications

Packaging: Production of disposable containers, packaging films and food packaging
Automotive: Production of interior and exterior parts of vehicles
Textiles: Production of fibers for the textile industry
Construction: Production of pipes and fittings
