Waterjet & Machining Homopolymer Polypropylene
Waterjet cutting a pre-machined blank reduces chips. A near net shape keeps the machining time down on a part like this by leaving minimal stock all around. Material is a Natural Homopolymer Polypropylene. Propylene homopolymer is the most widely utilized general-purpose grade. It contains only propylene monomer in a semi-crystalline solid form. Main applications include packaging, textiles, healthcare, pipes, automotive, and electrical applications.
