High Performance Polypropylene Coating Materials, 2002 PLACE Conference Proceedings
Based on its advantageous material properties, polypropylene is an ideal candidate for extrusion coating, when
specific requirements such as better grease resistance and higher service temperatures are required. So far,
processability limitations of conventional PP related to low melt strength and low melt extensibility have restricted
the use of PP. With the introduction of new technologies it is now possible to create PP materials showing unique
rheological behaviour by combining melt strength with significantly improved melt extensibility. This improvement
in processability, in combination with new PP polymer types, allows the design of high performance PP coating
materials. New technologies and applications, resulting in the ideal combination of material and processing
technology, are described.
