PP Resin: Exceptional Electrical Insulation Properties

Did you know that PP resin is not only a familiar material in the packaging industry but also a leading choice for insulation applications in the electrical and electronics sector?

With its outstanding electrical properties and performance-enhancing capabilities, PP is increasingly establishing itself as an ideal material for a wide range of critical devices and components, contributing to the sustainable development of this industry.

Overview of PP Resin: From Concept to Structure

Polypropylene (PP) is a thermoplastic polymer produced from the monomer propylene. It belongs to the polyolefin group and is well-known for its unique combination of mechanical and electrical properties.

• Molecular structure: PP has a linear chain structure with methyl groups arranged in a specific order (typically isotactic PP for technical applications), resulting in high crystallinity that directly influences its material properties, especially electrical insulation.

• Mechanical strength: Beyond its electrical properties, PP offers good tensile strength, stiffness, abrasion resistance, and impact resistance, enhancing the overall durability of electronic products.

• Heat resistance: PP has a relatively high melting point (around 160–170°C), allowing it to perform stably in various thermal environments.

Why PP Resin Is an Ideal Electrical Insulating Material

Virgin PP resin possesses five outstanding electrical properties that make it an essential material in many electronic products:

1. High resistivity: PP features excellent insulation with surface and volume resistivity reaching 10¹⁵–10¹⁸ ohm·cm, depending on environmental conditions. This ensures optimal insulation performance and safety.

2. High dielectric strength: PP can withstand high voltages of up to 300–400 kV/cm, making it ideal for producing high-voltage devices and components while minimizing failure risks.

3. Low dielectric constant: With a value around 2.2–2.5, PP helps reduce energy loss during electrical transmission, contributing to higher equipment efficiency.

4. Very low dielectric loss: Ranging from only 0.0001–0.001, PP performs reliably and stably even in high-frequency devices such as film capacitors and complex electronic circuits.

5. Stability in use: PP maintains excellent insulating properties over time, even under high temperatures or UV exposure, especially when combined with suitable stabilizing additives. This ensures product longevity and reliability

Typical Applications of PP Resin in the Electrical and Electronics Industry

Thanks to its superior electrical properties and high stability, PP resin is widely applied in key products of the electrical and electronics industry:

• Insulating layers for electrical cables: Including low-, medium-, and sometimes even high-voltage cables, ensuring safety, efficient energy transmission, and protection from environmental factors.

• Housings and insulating components for electronic parts: Such as capacitor casings, relay covers, junction boxes, switch bases, sockets, and other internal components—protecting sensitive parts and ensuring insulation.

• Film capacitors: One of the most critical applications, where BOPP (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene) film is used as the dielectric material due to its high stability, low loss, and outstanding performance at high frequencies.

• Insulating materials for household appliances, Such as washing machine shells, refrigerators, microwave ovens, and other consumer electronics.

• Components in electric and hybrid vehicles: Thanks to its thermal resistance and electrical insulation, PP is increasingly used in automotive electrical systems.
