What is Polyolefin Powder?

Polyolefin powder refers to a fine, dry, and free-flowing substance composed of polyolefin polymers. Polyolefins are a class of thermoplastic polymers derived from petrochemical sources, primarily including polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP). The powders are produced through a process of pulverization or spray drying, resulting in particles with consistent size and shape.

Polyolefin powders find extensive use in various applications, including coatings, adhesives, molding, and additive manufacturing (3D printing). They offer excellent properties such as chemical resistance, low density, high flexibility, and thermal stability. Depending on the specific formulation and processing techniques, polyolefin powders can be tailored for different industries, offering cost-effective and versatile solutions for a wide range of manufacturing processes and end products.
