    Polypropylene is a plastic polymer derived from olefins that was first synthesized in 1951. It has a wide variety of applications due to its resistance to chemicals, heat, and fatigue. There are two main industrial processes for manufacturing polypropylene - solvent polymerization and gas phase polymerization. The document provides details on the history, structure, properties, degradation, applications, and manufacturing processes of polypropylene.

    MANUFACTURING

    OF
    POLYPROPYLENE &
    ITS APPLICATION

    PRESENT BY-
    DRIZZLE
    WHAT IS POLYPROPYLENE

    Polypropylene (PP) is a generic name


    for a family of semi crystalline
    polymers.
    PP, as well as polyethylene (PE),
    belongs to the group of polyolefin,
    that are derived from a group of
    base chemicals known as olefins.
    HISTORY

    Phillips Petroleum chemists J. Paul Hogan and


    Robert L. Banks first polymerized propylene in
    1951. Propylene was first polymerized to a
    crystalline isotactic polymer by Giulio Natta as
    well as by the German chemist Karl Rehn in
    March 1954.

    Polypropylene is the second most important


    plastic with revenues expected to exceed
    US$145 billion by 2019.
    STRUCTURE OF POLYPROPYLENE
    SCIENTIFIC NAME
    &PROPERTIES

    IUPAC NAME-poly propene.

    Chemical formula- (C3H6)n

    Density- 0.855 g/cm3, amorphous


    0.946 g/cm3, crystalline

    Melting point- 130 to 171C (266 to


    340F; 403 to 444K)
    OTHER PROPERTIES
    MECHANICAL PROPERTIES

    The Young's modulus of PP is 1300


    -1800 N/mm.

    Normally tough and flexible, especially


    when copolymerized with ethylene.

    Good resistance to fatigue.


    THERMAL PROPERTIES
    The melting point :-171C
    Thermal expansion-very large(but somewhat less
    than that of polyethylene).

    CHEMICAL PROPERTIES

    Resistant to fats and almost all organic solvents,


    apart from strong oxidants at room temperature.
    Non oxidizing acids and bases can be stored in
    containers made of PP.
    Due to the tertiary carbon atom PP is chemically
    less resistant than PE .
    DEGRADATION

    It degrade by heat & UV radiation.


    Soil samples mixed with starch capable of
    degrading polypropylene in presence of
    microbial communities.

    OPTICAL PROPERTIES

    It can be made translucent, when uncoloured.


    INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES OF
    MANUFACTURING OF POLYPROPYLENE
    SOLVENT POLYMERIZATION
    PROCESS
    APPLICATION
    ANOTHER APPLICATION
    Piping systems

    Medical or laboratory

    Carpets, rugs and mats

    Ropes, distinctive

    Concrete additive

    CONCLUSION
    This presentation has an overview of the
    changes & current state of PP
    manufacturing process.
    It has mainly focused on the trends in
    process development aiming at improving
    quality.
    A variety of process, such as many technical
    improvements aiming at stable operation &
    process making high temperature
    polymerization possible by the improving
    the polymer particle & monomer separation
    efficiency through operation in the
    supercritical range for propylene had been
    developed.
