Polypropylene / PP
Polypropylene / PP is very chemically resistant material. Noticeable influence on it have only strong oxidizing agents - chlorosulfonic acid, fuming nitric acid, halogens, oleum.
Concentrated 58% sulfuric acid and a 30% hydrogen peroxide at room temperature are negligible for the polypropylene material. Prolonged contact with these reagents at 60 ° C and above causes degradation of Polypropylene.
Polypropylene in organic solvents at room temperature swells slightly. Above 100 ° C it is soluble in aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene.
Compared to PE material, PP shows improved hardness particularly in the upper temperature range (up to +100 ° C). Notable are the high chemical resistance to many environments and good long term characteristics even at high temperatures.
