Description

Polypropylene Natural Round Rod 120mm Dia

Natural Polypropylene Homopolymer (PPH) Rod 120mm is a lightweight engineering plastic valued for its durability, chemical stability and dependable performance in demanding industrial environments. With a specific gravity of 0.91, it is lighter than water and offers a practical material solution for applications where reducing component weight is important.

Its strong resistance to acids, including sulphuric acid, makes it particularly suitable for chemical storage and processing equipment. The material also offers low moisture absorption, a non-stick surface and good impact resistance, helping it perform effectively in components exposed to regular handling or contact with other materials.

PPH maintains its rigidity at elevated temperatures and operates within a temperature range of 0°C to +100°C, providing better heat resistance than PPC. It can also be easily welded and is suitable for food-contact applications.
