What is polypropylene?

Polypropylene (PP) is the second-largest standard plastic after polyethylene and stands out for its low density.

Homopolymers, copolymers, and the reinforced speciality compounds cover a broad property spectrum; PP can be adjusted from stiff to impact-resistant, is chemically resistant and easy to process.

For procurement, pricing, and commercial teams, this overview brings the PP price series together in one place.

Where is polypropylene used?

PP is converted into films (BOPP/CPP), fibres and nonwovens, packaging, and technical and automotive moulded parts, which ties it closely to the packaging, textile, and automotive markets.

In pricenxt the individual PP grades can be set side by side and brought together on boards.

What defines polypropylene?

PP combines low density with adjustable stiffness and toughness. Regions and transaction types make the individual price series finely comparable.

Adjustable from rigid to high-impact

Homopolymers, copolymers and compounds cover a broad spectrum from stiff films to impact-resistant automotive parts.

  • Homopolymer: stiff, for films, fibres, and moulded parts.
  • Copolymer & compounds: high-impact and technically adjusted for automotive and industrial use.
  • Regions & transaction types: contract, manufacturer direct as well as spot imports and spot domestic allow differentiated comparisons.

Market relevance for procurement, pricing and controlling

Market relevance

Polypropylene prices matter for companies that have to buy polypropylene-related materials, cost them or take them into account in price negotiations.

  • Procurement: teams can factor price movements into their purchasing plans at an early stage.
  • Pricing: price series support structured discussions on material costs and price adjustment mechanisms.
  • Controlling: price histories help document cost assumptions in a traceable way.

Analysis in pricenxt

In pricenxt, polypropylene price data can be analysed in a structured way using configurable filters, interactive charts, and boards.

  • Variant comparison: different price series can be set against one another in a single chart.
  • Period analysis: you choose the observation period freely and add trend lines or regressions.
  • Saving to boards: relevant analyses can be saved as a card on a board and shared.
