Polypropelyne

Polypropylene (PP) is one of the most economical high purity olefin materials with a combination of outstanding physical, chemical, mechanical, thermal and electrical properties. Polypropylene provides excellent resistance to organic solvents, degreasing agents and electrolytic attack. It is light in weight, resistant to staining, and has a low moisture absorption rate. Compared to polyethylene, it has a lower impact strength,but superior working temperature and tensile strength.

It is easily fabricated, can be thermoformed, vacuum formed, and welded.

Key Features Lightweight Mechanically tough and rigid Excellent chemical resistance High purity No moisture absorption Good resistance to stress cracking Abrasion resistant Dimensionally stable up to 180°F continuous use FDA, USDA, NSF and 3-A Dairy compliant

Typical Applications Pump and valve components Food processing parts Chemical processing Prosthetics and orthotics Semiconductor manufacturing equipment
