Material for the production of films (especially packaging), bags, containers, pipes, parts of technical equipment, plastic cups, household items, non-woven materials, electrical insulation material, in construction for vibration and noise insulation of mezzanine covered in "floating floor" systems. During the copolymerization of propylene with ethylene, non-crystallizing copolymers are obtained, which exhibit the properties of rubber, distinguished by increased chemical resistance and resistance to aging.
Polypropylene foam (PPP) is also widely used for vibration and heat insulation. It is close in characteristics to foamed polyethylene (foam polyethylene). There are also decorative extrusion profiles made of PP, replacing polystyrene foam. Atactic polypropylene is used for the production of construction adhesives, putties, sealing mastics, road coatings and sticky films.(//tractor-service.com)
The structure of polypropylene use in Russia in 2012 was as follows: 38% —containers, 30% — threads, fibers, 18% — films, 6% — pipes, 5% — polypropylene sheets, 3% — other[1].
