Technical Analysis of Homopolymer and Copolymer Injection Molding PP: Parameters, Production Technology, and Application Scenarios

创建于05.29

I. Homopolymer Injection Molding PP: Balance of High Rigidity and Heat Resistance

1. Product Parameters and Performance Characteristics
Homopolymer injection molding PP is polymerized from single propylene monomers, featuring high molecular chain regularity and a crystallinity of 60%-70%, which endows it with excellent rigidity and heat resistance. According to the document, its Melt Flow Rate (MFR) ranges from 5-15 g/10 min (230℃/2.16kg). Typical grades include:
  • Sinopec SK Petrochemical V30G
  • Fujian Refining & Chemical Co., Ltd 1100N
  • Ningxia Coal Industry 1100N
2. Production Technology Essentials
Homopolymer injection molding PP employs high-efficiency liquid-phase bulk polymerization or gas-phase polymerization processes, with core controls including:
  • Regulating isotacticity (>95%) via Ziegler-Natta catalysts to enhance crystallinity;
  • Adjusting molecular weight distribution with hydrogen to stabilize MFR at 5-15 g/10 min, matching the fluidity requirements of injection molding equipment.
3. Application Scope
Homopolymer injection molding PP is widely used in:
  • Home appliances
  • Food-grade products
  • Automotive components

II. Copolymer Injection Molding PP: Breakthrough in Toughness and Impact Resistance

1. Product Parameters and Performance Characteristics
Copolymer injection molding PP is formed by block copolymerization of propylene and ethylene, reducing crystallinity to 40%-60% and significantly improving toughness. Typical parameters are as follows:
  • Melt Flow Rate (MFR)
  • Mechanical properties
  • Low-temperature impact strength
2. Production Technology Essentials
Copolymer injection molding PP adopts a multi-stage polymerization process: propylene homopolymerization first, followed by ethylene block copolymerization, controlling ethylene content at 5%-15% to form a "hard core-soft shell" structure and ensure uniform phase distribution.
3. Application Scope
Copolymer injection molding PP, with both rigidity and toughness, is mainly applied in:
  • Automotive industry
  • Outdoor products
  • Home appliance casings

III. Comparison and Selection Recommendations for Homopolymer and Copolymer Injection Molding PP

Index
Homopolymer Injection Molding PP
Copolymer Injection Molding PP
MFR Range
5-15 g/10 min (230℃)
1-10 g/10 min (230℃)
Typical Grades
V30G, 1100N, 550N
EPS30R, K8003, K8009
Core Properties
High rigidity, heat resistance (>110℃)
Impact resistance, low-temperature toughness (-20℃ weather resistance)
Application Scenarios
Home appliance structural parts, food containers, automotive frameworks
Automotive exterior parts, outdoor products, drop-resistant casings
Selection Principle: For products requiring static load-bearing or high-temperature environments (e.g., microwave utensils), prioritize homopolymer injection molding PP; for those needing dynamic impact resistance or low-temperature use (e.g., winter outdoor equipment), copolymer injection molding PP is more suitable. Both can be further optimized with fillers to meet special industrial requirements.
