Industrial Process Economics Reports About Polypropylene Carbonate (PPC) Polypropylene Carbonate (PPC), is a thermoplastic copolymer used to enhance epoxy resins, in the ceramic industry, and in the preparation of electroceramics. Composites of PPC with starch are used as biodegradable plastics. The Intratec portfolio (www.intratec.us/our-portfolio) includes reports examining specific PPC production processes. Each report presents one-time costs associated with the construction of an
