BIS Certification For Polypropylene (PP) Materials for Moulding and Extrusion IS 10951:2020

As per IS 10951:2020, BIS certification is mandatory for polypropylene (PP) materials used in molding and extrusion processes. This versatile thermoplastic polymer is widely used due to its excellent properties and affordability. In India, Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has introduced IS 10951:2020 to ensure the quality of PP materials. Manufacturers are required to obtain BIS certification for PP materials for molding and extrusion, focusing on this standard.

IS 10951:2020 Polypropylene (PP) Materials for Moulding and Extrusion

IS 10951:2020 defines specifications for polypropylene (PP) materials used in molding and extrusion. In molding processes, PP can be molded into complex shapes for automotive components, home appliances, packaging, and consumer goods. In extrusion processes, it can be formed into sheets, films, fibers and profiles for a variety of applications in the packaging, textile, automotive, construction and medical industries. PP materials are recyclable and resistant to moisture, chemicals, and fatigue, making them preferred for applications where strength, versatility, and cost-effectiveness are important.
