NOVATEC™ PP is a general-purpose polypropylene with excellent total performance, developed by combining Japan Polypropylene Corporation's advanced polymerization and catalyst technologies with outstanding material design technology. It has several excellent quality characteristics and is used in a wide range of fields, from industrial parts and daily commodities to functional parts for food packaging and medical and sanitary applications. We are also able to meet a wide range of customer needs, including the development of polypropylene composites that cover the performance range of engineering plastics through our superior compositing technology.
We have achieved a balance of physical properties for each application by making full use of our own polymerization method and high-performance catalysts.
Lineup for various applications including lightweight (low specific gravity), easy molding, easy recycling, good heat resistance, insulation, and solvent resistance.
Polypropylene has three types of polymers: homopolymer, which is a homopolymer made by polymerizing propylene alone; random copolymer, which is made by polymerizing propylene with a comonomer (mainly ethylene); and block copolymer, which is made by polymerizing propylene followed by the co-polymerization of ethylene. In addition, a ternary copolymer (terpolymer), in which ethylene is copolymerized with butene as a comonomer, is also industrially produced as a random type of copolymer.
Homopolymers are used for packaging films, monofilaments, flat yarns, bands, sheets, fibers, and small containers due to their characteristics of high stiffness and high heat resistance. Random copolymers are used for sealants for packaging films, syringes, small containers, etc. due to their features of high transparency, high gloss, controlled melting point (around 125°C to 150°C at peak melting temperature measured by DSC), transparency, heat-sealing properties and impact resistance. On the other hand, block copolymers are copolymers designed to improve the impact resistance of homopolymers, and are widely used for automobile interiors and exteriors, home appliances, containers, etc. due to their features of high toughness and high rigidity.

PL confirmation certificate for food applications (JPN)
This is a typical data, not to be construed as specification.
Application suitability should be confirmed with the final product by referring to the physical property values.
Ultra-thin-walled injection containers
High flowability makes it suitable for injection molding of thin-walled products.
A certain degree of flowability can be maintained even after compounding filler materials, making it suitable as a raw material for compounding.
Recommended Grade
BC08F, BC08FS, BC10HRF
Autoclave sterilizable medical applications
High heat resistance and less elution of additives. It is suitable for medical components because it is less deformed even when sterilized at high temperatures and high pressures.
Recommended Grade
MA2HA, FA3KM, FL4
Medical applications compatible with radiation sterilization
Even after sterilization by radiation, the product retains its high impact strength and transparency, and maintains a good appearance.
It is suitable for disposable syringes and other medical components that require sterilization by electron beams or gamma rays.
Recommended Grade
MG03TH, MTX03M
Matte-toned film applications
Just by forming the film, an appropriate surface irregularity is created. This matte film has a uniform and deep matte finish, giving a luxurious feel to packaging materials.
Recommended Grade
BC6DRF, BX3FC, BC3HF
Retort film applications
Excellent sealing and impact resistance to prevent leakage of contents when impacted or dropped.
It has excellent heat resistance and prevents blocking between inner surfaces (sealing layer) even after retorting.
It has a proven track record as a sealing layer for retort packaging materials.
Recommended Grade
BC6DRF, BC3HF
Hinge Cap Applications
The hinge portion of the cap has excellent durability and is resistant to whitening even after repeated opening and closing movements.
It also has impact resistance in refrigerated environments, making it suitable for various cap applications.
Recommended Grade
MG3ATF, BC03FA
