| Summary: | "Polypropylene, also known as polypropene or PP, is a thermoplastic polymer used in a wide variety of applications. It is produced via chain-growth polymerization from the monomer propylene. It is a form of thermoplastic and is typically used as a wire insulation. PP is similar to Polyethylene, (PE), but PP is a harder compound. Since it is a harder compound, PP can be used on thin wall applications. PP-based material is considered to be the most promising environmentally friendly cable insulation, due to its no-crosslinking, excellent insulation performance and high melting point. It can be predicted that in the near future, PP cable insulation can completely replace the traditional cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation."-- |
