Products Solutions
Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) is a top‑quality thermoplastic material used for injection and stretch blow‑moulding of bottles used for mineral water, carbonated soft drinks, fruit juice, dairy products, edible oils, and cosmetic and pharmaceutical products.
High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is polymerised from ethylene to produce a plastic with excellent stiffness and environmental‑stress crack resistance. It offers superb chemical resistance and low water absorption, while also being easily processed and machined.
We are proud to be one of the top Polypropylene (PP) producers in Africa today. PP is a lightweight, moderately high melting point plastic with high stiffness, hardness and strength. It is produced from propylene monomer as a homopolymer or as a copolymer with ethylene.

Polypropylene (PP)
Our products are supplied to the converters, who in turn manufacture packaging products and structural material for a wide range of industries such as packaging and construction, among others. PP is a lightweight, moderately high melting point plastic with high stiffness, hardness and strength. It is produced from propylene monomer as a homopolymer or as a copolymer with ethylene.
PP is used in the manufacture of injection-moulded articles, blow-moulded containers, pipe, sheet and textile fibres. It is often used for outdoor applications but is UV resistant only if appropriately stabilised. PP has a good resistance to fatigue and can, therefore, be used as a living hinge such as those found on flip-top bottles. Safripol produces a variety of PP grades as impact copolymers, random copolymers and homopolymers for injection moulding, extrusion, blow moulding, thermoforming and fibres.
