polypropylene

Polypropylene is a plastic made by polymerizing propylene contained in combined gas in petroleum refinery. Since it is relatively inexpensive, lightweight and easy to process, polypropylene is used in a wide range of applications such as automobile components, home appliances, food packaging films, toys and general merchandise, and supports our lifestyles. Recently, in light of environmental issues, polypropylene has attracted attention for its characteristics such as superior recyclability to other materials and possibility of reuse.
The polypropylene business has been operated, since October 2003, by Japan Polypropylene Corporation, a joint venture between JNC and Japan Polychem Corporation (wholly-owned subsidiary of Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation).
