Natural Polypropylene Engineering Plastic Round Rod 160mm Dia

160mm Dia Natural Polypropylene Plastic Rod

The 160mm Natural Polypropylene Rod is a Polypropylene Homopolymer (PPH) engineering material developed for industrial components requiring a combination of strength, low weight and chemical durability. With a specific gravity of 0.91, it provides a lightweight alternative to heavier engineering plastics while maintaining good structural rigidity.

Its operating temperature range of 0°C to +100°C offers improved heat resistance compared with PPC. The material performs particularly well in environments involving acids, including sulphuric acid, making it useful for chemical processing and storage applications. Its low moisture absorption, easy weldability and food-compliant composition further expand its suitability for industrial manufacturing.

The naturally low-adhesion surface helps reduce material sticking, which can be beneficial in equipment exposed to cement, concrete and other substances. Good impact resistance also makes it suitable for protective fittings and components subject to repeated handling.
