Formula: PP
Form: Foil/Film/Sheet
Material: Polypropylene (PP)
Commodity: Polymers
Polypropylene (PP) foil is useful in a range of research applications due to its customizable surface properties and durability under environmental stressors. It’s particularly valuable in surface science, where plasma treatments allow researchers to modify its adhesion qualities for improved bonding in biomedical applications, coatings, or electronics. PP foil's stability under UV light makes it suitable for studying photodegradation, especially in environmental science, where its performance in simulated freshwater conditions helps researchers understand polymer breakdown. PP foil is also commonly used in testing environments needing chemically resilient materials.
