Dishwashers

High performance Polypropylene grades replacing metal parts in dishwashers

A key challenge for European appliances producers is to remain cost competitive without sacrificing the high quality of their equipment.


Since metal and stainless parts are usually the most expensive components inside white goods, significant savings can be made by replacing metal parts with plastic parts.


The demand for polyolefin solutions is high as they withstand aggressive thermal and chemical environments.


In dishwashers significant quantities of PP compounds are used for various components like:

  • Basements
  • Internal components (pump housings, baskets & connectors)
  • Frames
