Polypropylene plastic is renowned for its versatility and broad range of applications. In the plastics processing industry, polypropylene is often abbreviated as PP. PP material is highly popular across various industries, ranging from packaging and textiles to applications in the automotive and medical sectors.
Polypropylene, also known as PP, is a widely used plastic produced from propylene. Propylene is a hydrocarbon derived from petroleum or natural gas. PP is utilized for a broad range of applications due to its excellent properties and versatility. This multifaceted plastic is particularly prevalent in the automotive and medical industries.
There are numerous ways to process polypropylene. Depending on the desired application, the best method for processing polypropylene is determined. Processing PP often requires specialized equipment and expertise. By collaborating with ANKRO, the desired results concerning a polypropylene product can be achieved.
At ANKRO, we process polypropylene solely through various machining techniques, such as milling or turning. We always machine a PP sheet using our CNC milling machines, in contrast to PP pipes, which are processed using our CNC turning machines.

The versatile nature of PP makes it suitable for a wide variety of applications. These propylene applications contribute to the development of innovative and functional products across various industries. Some common applications include:
These are just a few examples of the broad applications for which ANKRO uses polypropylene. PP plastic is also widely used in the textile and packaging industries.
Milling polypropylene provides an effective and versatile way to create complex shapes and components. Due to its low density, good machinability, and chemical resistance, PP plastic is a popular material for milling. Compared to other plastics, it is easy to machine, making it suitable for various applications.
As plastic processors, we at ANKRO are well aware of the important aspects to consider when milling polypropylene. Cutting parameters, securing the plastic, cooling, and tool selection are examples of these critical factors. Precisely and reliably milling PP requires expertise and experience to achieve optimal results. At ANKRO, we possess the knowledge and experience to mill PP with precision.
The properties of PP plastic are very diverse, making the material used in various industries. Polypropylene is an attractive choice for sustainable and environmentally conscious applications because it is a recyclable material with a low carbon footprint. Additionally, PP plastic has many other properties, such as:
Polypropylene is a sustainable material for several reasons. Firstly, this plastic is a polymer that is recyclable. By melting PP, it can be reformed without losing its material properties. Its long lifespan and low density are also reasons why polypropylene is considered a sustainable material. Furthermore, PP material is also highly insulating, which can make it energy-efficient.
However, it is important to note that polypropylene plastic is still a plastic, and there are challenges concerning the management of plastic waste. It is essential to handle this responsibly. At ANKRO, we do this by recycling various plastics. Would you like to know more about this? Feel free to contact us!
