Why Pinnacle Polymers Meets Your Specific Needs

What is a Homopolymer?

Pinnacle’s 1000 series homopolymers are thermoplastic polymers polymerized from 100 % propylene monomer. Homopolymers are characterized by their good balance of stiffness, strength, chemical resistance and processability.

Homopolymer polypropylene delivers the highest stiffness of all of the standard polypropylene types. Pinnacle’s homopolymers are used in many processing technologies such as fiber extrusion, injection molding, and thermoforming. Pinnacle has a broad range of homopolymer options, including some clarified grades.

All Pinnacle homopolymers offer excellent lot-to-lot consistency delivering value and top performance in applications including caps and closures, textiles, food packaging, healthcare, furniture, automotive, and many others.
