180mm Dia Natural Polypropylene Homopolymer Solid Round Rod

180mm Dia Natural Polypropylene Round Rod

The 180mm Natural Polypropylene Rod is made from Polypropylene Homopolymer (PPH), a versatile thermoplastic suitable for demanding engineering and manufacturing environments. Its low density of 0.91 makes it considerably lighter than many alternative materials, while its rigid structure supports the production of durable industrial components.

Designed for operating temperatures between 0°C and +100°C, PPH offers better temperature performance than PPC alongside strong resistance to corrosive substances. It can withstand exposure to various acids, including sulphuric acid, making it particularly useful in chemical processing industries. Its ability to be welded easily also allows manufacturers to create fabricated structures and custom components.

The material absorbs very little moisture and has a smooth, low-adhesion surface that discourages cement, concrete and other substances from sticking. Its impact-resistant nature makes it useful for protective fittings and parts exposed to repeated contact.
