Polypropylene PP material selection

[mnmzakir]

We manufacture PP strapping tapes. We currently use Tasnee H1045 PP to produce our strap tapes. However for the Strap tapes to be used on Automatic Machines, the product stiffness needs to be higher. We can achieve this by increasing thickness which increases final weight. We would like to find a suitable Virgin PP grade and brand that can be used to produce such strapping tapes with higher stiffness and lower thickness(thereby lower weight) which some competitor companies are producing already(Their product is more stiff, less thick and hence lower weight).

Polymer molecular orientation due to stretching during production is a major factor in modulus.
