Polypropylene is ideal for additive manufacturing based on its dimensional stability, impact strength, chemical resistance, durability to support living hinge capabilities as well as a lower density than other plastics making it up to 40% lighter than traditional PLA. These properties, combined with the recyclability of polypropylene, make it an attractive material for a wide range of 3D printing and additive manufacturing applications. 

Jason Vagnozzi, Braskem Commercial Director of Additive Manufacturing, stated, "We are continuously looking for new ways to make our materials more accessible to consumers and small enterprise clients. Through our partnership with Xenon arc, we have built a new e-commerce channel that overcomes some of the supply chain complexities that larger commodity producers face when trying to directly reach consumers. Amazon will allow us to better serve smaller makerspaces, hobbyists, and educational institutions that would benefit from our polypropylene innovations."

"Braskem is transforming the way they connect with customers, and we are excited to expand our partnership to the Amazon platform.  Using our unique approach to marketplace management, we will generate profitable growth in a sustainable manner," stated Mica Zuniga, Senior Vice President, Strategic Growth.
