Natural Polypropylene Rod 55mm for Chemical and Mechanical Components

Polypropylene Round Plastic Rod (Natural) 55mm Dia

Natural Polypropylene Homopolymer Rod 55mm is a solid plastic material suited to manufacturing substantial industrial fittings and fabricated structures. It combines low weight with good mechanical rigidity, making it easier to handle while providing dependable support in equipment exposed to chemicals and corrosive liquids.

PPH has a working temperature range of 0°C to +100°C and offers greater heat tolerance than polypropylene copolymer. Its resistance to acids, including sulphuric acid, makes it suitable for chemical storage and processing applications. The material also absorbs very little moisture and can be welded to create customised shapes and assemblies.

Another useful characteristic is its low surface adhesion, which helps prevent substances such as cement and concrete from sticking to components. Its impact-resistant properties make it suitable for protective accessories and parts subject to repeated contact. The natural grade is food compliant for appropriate applications. Its HB fire classification indicates that it will continue burning after the removal of an ignition source.
