Design Considerations for PP Parts

Recommended Practices

  • Wall Thickness

    Maintain 1.2-3.0mm uniform thickness to prevent sink marks and warpage issues

  • Draft Angles

    Incorporate 1-2° draft minimum for easy part ejection from mold cavity

  • Corner Radius

    Use generous radii to reduce stress concentration and improve material flow

Common Challenges

  • Shrinkage Control

    PP exhibits 1.5-2.5% shrinkage requiring careful mold design compensation

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main advantages of PP injection molding?

PP offers excellent chemical resistance, low density, high fatigue resistance, good impact strength, and cost-effectiveness. It is ideal for applications requiring moisture barrier properties, chemical stability, and lightweight construction. PP can be sterilized making it suitable for medical and food contact applications.

What is the typical shrinkage rate for PP parts?

Polypropylene typically exhibits 1.5-2.5% shrinkage depending on the specific grade, part geometry, and processing conditions. Our engineering team accounts for this shrinkage during mold design to ensure final parts meet dimensional specifications. Glass-filled grades show lower shrinkage rates.

Can PP parts be used in high-temperature applications?

Standard PP has a heat deflection temperature around 100°C. For higher temperature requirements, we can use heat-stabilized grades or mineral-filled PP that can withstand temperatures up to 130-140°C. We recommend discussing your specific temperature requirements to select the optimal PP grade.

Is PP suitable for food contact applications?

Yes, PP is widely approved for food contact applications and meets FDA regulations. It is chemically inert, does not leach substances, and can withstand sterilization processes. PP is commonly used for food containers, utensils, and packaging where direct food contact is required.

What surface finishes are available for PP parts?

We can provide various surface finishes including textured, matte, or polished surfaces achieved through mold surface treatments. PP can also be painted, pad printed, or laser marked for branding. However, PP surface treatment may require special primers due to its low surface energy.

Why choose Rapidaccu for PP injection molding?
