We manufacture Polypropylene which is an economical part of Lead
Acid Battery recycling. The Plastic Boxes obtained from Battery
Scraps are processed to our Plastic Section in order to produce
profitable Plastic Chips or the Polypropylene chips.
Polypropylene or polypropene (PP Chips) is a thermoplastic polymer, used
in a wide variety of applications, including plastic parts and
reusable containers of various types, thermal pants and shirts made
for the military, laboratory equipment, loudspeakers, automotive
components, and polymer banknotes. It has been found that mechanical
recycling is the best recovery option for large PP automotive
components, while energy recovery is the solution for most small
plastic parts.
Polypropylene’s are available to meet the needs of various
fabrication processes such as extrusion, injection molding,
thermoforming, blow molding, biaxially oriented film (BOPP), fiber
spinning, slit tape, extrusion coating, and laminating.
Production of polypropylene takes place by slurry, solution or gas
phase process, in which the propylene monomer is subjected to heat
and pressure in the presence of a catalyst system. Polymerization is
achieved at relatively low temperature and pressure and the product
yielded is translucent, but readily colored. Differences in catalyst
and production conditions can be used to alter the properties of the
plastic.
PP does not present stress-cracking problems and offers excellent
electrical and chemical resistance at higher temperatures.
