90mm Dia Natural Polypropylene Rod for Technical Fabrication

Polypropylene Round Plastic Rod (Natural) 90mm Dia

Natural Polypropylene Homopolymer Rod 90mm is a large-dia engineering plastic developed for producing robust parts used in industrial plant construction and equipment manufacturing. Its low specific gravity of approximately 0.91 makes it considerably lighter than many alternative engineering materials, helping simplify handling and installation without sacrificing useful rigidity.

The PPH composition provides dependable protection against chemical attack, acidic substances and corrosion. It can withstand operating temperatures from 0°C to +100°C and offers better heat resistance than polypropylene copolymer. Its low moisture uptake helps maintain material consistency, while its excellent welding characteristics make it suitable for building customised structures and fabricated assemblies.

The rod's naturally low-adhesion surface is beneficial where unwanted material build-up needs to be minimised. It can also withstand repeated physical contact, making it useful for manufacturing protective fittings, plugs and thread guards. The natural grade is food compliant for suitable applications. Please note that its HB fire classification means it continues to burn when the ignition source is removed.
