Description

Natural Polypropylene Plastic Rod 225mm Dia

The 225mm Natural Polypropylene Rod is a solid engineering thermoplastic manufactured from Polypropylene Homopolymer (PPH). It is particularly suitable for industrial production where resistance to corrosive materials, manageable weight and reliable fabrication properties are essential. Its specific gravity of 0.91 makes it lighter than water, offering practical handling benefits for large-scale manufacturing projects.

With a service temperature range of 0°C to +100°C, PPH provides better thermal performance than PPC. It maintains excellent resistance to acids, including sulphuric acid, and various industrial chemicals. Its low moisture uptake and straightforward welding properties make it a useful choice for constructing chemical-resistant equipment. The material is also food compliant.

The smooth surface has naturally low adhesion, helping prevent cement, concrete and similar substances from bonding to components. Good impact resistance further supports its use in protective fittings and parts subjected to repeated knocks or handling.
