Polypropylene PP
Polypropylene (PP) is a thermoplastic material with a semi-crystalline structure. Polypropylene has a high resistance to chemicals, salts, acids and bases. It is for this reason that polypropylene are considered an excellent alternative to acid-resistant steel. PP has high degree of stiffness and strength at room temperature, as well as low moisture absorption coefficient. For this reason, polypropylene is a good choice for mechanical and structural applications. PP thermoplastic has higher strength, higher hardness and higher melting point compared to plastics such as Polyethylene (PE).
Key features and benefits of polypropylene sheets:
- Polypropylene rods are easily processed
- Very high chemical resistance
- Polypropylene sheets have excellent impact strength
- Excellent moisture resistance
- Suitable for the food industry
