200mm Dia Natural Polypropylene Rod for Industrial Applications

Natural Polypropylene Round Rod 200mm Dia

The 200mm Natural Polypropylene Rod is produced from Polypropylene Homopolymer (PPH), a versatile industrial thermoplastic suited to applications requiring chemical stability, low weight and dependable mechanical properties. With a specific gravity of 0.91, it offers an exceptionally lightweight solution for manufacturing substantial engineering components.

PPH maintains its performance within a temperature range of 0°C to +100°C and provides greater temperature resistance than PPC. Its ability to withstand aggressive acids, particularly sulphuric acid, makes it a popular material for chemical-related fabrication. The material is also readily weldable, absorbs very little moisture and meets food-compliance requirements.

Another useful characteristic is its low surface adhesion, which helps minimise the accumulation of substances such as cement and concrete during industrial operations. Its resistance to repeated impact makes it suitable for protective parts, fittings and components used in demanding working conditions.
