Polypropylene rods / PP

Polypropylene rods are made of tough, lightweight material with high impact resistance and good mechanical strength which can stand temperatures up to 100 С.

Polypropylene rods have lower water absorption and are resistant to many acids, alkalis, and organic solvents. Rods made of Polypropylene also have good thermal and electrical insulation properties but become brittle at low temperatures. Polypropylene rods we offer are FDA approved and are easy to machine, form, and weld, but difficult to bond.

Characteristics of the Polypropylene rods:

  • Polypropylene rods are very easy to weld using thermoplastic welding equipment 
  • Low moisture absorption 
  • PP / Polypropylene rods have good chemical resistance 
  • Polypropylene rods are with relatively low cost 
  • Extremely tough (copolymer) 
  • Excellent aesthetic properties 
  • Polypropylene rods are easy to fabricate

Application:

  • Chemical tanks
  • Plating tanks 
  • Firetruck water tanks (copolymer polypropylene) 
  • Cutting boards for food preparation 
  • Semiconductor equipment cabinets and work surfaces
