PP (Polypropylene)
PP is a semi-crystalline, thermoplastic material with similar properties as PE-HD.
However, it has higher strength, rigidity and hardness. Below freezing, however, PP is very sensitive to impact. Its chemical resistance is comparable to that of PE.
Properties
The properties of PP are:- Low density compared to other materials
- Minimal water absorption
- Excellent chemical resistance even against solvents
- High corrosion resistance
- Relatively high surface hardness
- Very good electrical insulator
- Sensitive to cold
- Weldable
- Very reasonably priced material
Applications
PP can be applied in the following areas:- Pump and valve parts
- Gaskets
- Components in electroplating
- Chemical tank and apparatus construction
- Air conditioning and ventilation technology
- Medical engineering
Modification options
- PP-GF30 (with 30% glass fibre for higher stiffness and dimensional stability)
- PPs (Poly-Propylene, flame retardant)
