Description

Polypropylene Round Plastic Rod (Natural) 45mm Dia

Natural Polypropylene Homopolymer Rod 45mm is a solid thermoplastic material designed for producing larger fabricated components used in industrial and commercial environments. Its low density, strong chemical resistance and good structural rigidity make it a practical choice for applications involving corrosive liquids, moisture and repeated physical contact.

Manufactured from PPH, this rod has a specific gravity of approximately 0.91 and can operate within a temperature range of 0°C to +100°C. It offers better heat tolerance than polypropylene copolymer, while its minimal water absorption helps preserve its properties during use. The material can also be welded efficiently, allowing manufacturers to create custom-built assemblies and equipment.

Its resistance to acids, including sulphuric acid, makes it suitable for chemical storage installations. The smooth surface discourages material adhesion, which can be useful in selected concrete-handling applications. Impact resistance provides additional benefits when producing protective fittings and components exposed to regular knocks. The natural grade is food compliant for appropriate applications. Its HB fire rating indicates that it may continue burning after ignition.
