BIS CERTIFICATION FOR POLYPROPYLENE (PP) MATERIALS FOR MOULDING AND EXTRUSION IS 10951:2020

As per IS 10951:2020, BIS certification is compulsory for polypropylene (PP) materials utilized in molding and extrusion processes. This adaptable thermoplastic polymer is extensively employed due to its exceptional attributes and cost-effectiveness. In India, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has introduced IS 10951:2020 to guarantee the quality of PP materials. Manufacturers must acquire BIS certification for PP materials intended for molding and extrusion, with a key emphasis on this standard.

IS 10951:2020 outlines specifications for polypropylene (PP) materials utilized in molding and extrusion. In molding, PP can be shaped into intricate forms for automotive components, household appliances, packaging, and consumer goods. Through extrusion, it can be transformed into sheets, films, fibers, and profiles catering to diverse needs in packaging, textiles, automotive, construction, and medical sectors. PP materials offer recyclability and resilience against moisture, chemicals, and wear, making them a preferred choice for applications prioritizing strength, adaptability, and cost efficiency.
