Homopolymer is the first product category in Regal Petrochemical plant.
Homopolymer PP is made by polymerizing propylene. Homopolymers are more
rigid and have better resistance to high temperatures than copolymers but their
impact strength at temperatures below zero is limited. The primary application
of homopolymers is in the extrusion of fibers and filaments for cordage, webs,
carpet backing and face yarns, upholstery fabrics, apparel, filters, geotextiles,
disposable diapers, medical fabrics, fabric for automobile interiors, bags, and
strapping tape. Oriented and unoriented films are also extruded for pressure-
sensitive tapes, electrical applications, shrink film, and packaging for retortable
pouches. Sheets greater than 250 μm in thickness are used for counter tops
and tank liners; thinner sheets are thermoformed into packaging containers.
Injection molded homopolymers are used in automobile parts, appliances,
housewares, packaging containers, trigger sprayers, furniture, and toys
