Description
Natural Polypropylene Plastic Rod 130mm Dia
The 120mm Natural Polypropylene Homopolymer (PPH) Rod is an economical engineering material developed for industrial applications requiring chemical durability, low weight and reliable mechanical strength. Its specific gravity of 0.91 makes it exceptionally lightweight, allowing it to float on water while offering good rigidity for manufactured components.
PPH provides outstanding resistance to acids, including sulphuric acid, making it a popular choice for fabricating chemical storage vessels, processing equipment and protective fittings. Its naturally low moisture absorption helps maintain material stability, while its non-stick surface reduces unwanted adhesion in applications involving substances such as cement and concrete.
With an operating temperature range of 0°C to +100°C, this material offers better temperature performance than PPC. It is also easy to weld, food compliant and suitable for manufacturing components exposed to repeated handling and impact.
