Polypropylene -PP

Easy processing PP with superior performance

Compared to the standard PA12 and PA11, polypropylene stands out in particular due to its excellent chemical resistance at a low density and lower material costs.

AM Polymers has been offering PP since 2017. It is harder and more heat resistant than PE and easy to process on all machines, thus meeting your specific requirements in the best possible way. PP-01 has a low tendency to curl and warp, making it easy to set up a robust processing. Components made of PP-01 have good mechanical properties and, in contrast to many other new material developments for powder bed fusion, exhibit ductile part behavior with elongations at break exceeding 40%. The fracture behavior corresponds to that of PA12, with the otherwise typical characteristics of PP.
