Polypropylene

  Technical Specifications:

Polypropylene is an economical material that offers a unique combination of outstanding physical, chemical, mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. It demonstrates excellent resistance to corrosion, organic solvents, degreasing agents, and electrolytic attack. It is also lightweight, stain-resistant and has a low moisture-absorption rate. Polypropylene is a tough heat-resistant material up to 180°F, making it ideal for the transfer of hot liquids or gases.

  Grades and Colors

  • Polypropylene Homo-Polymer
    Polypropylene homo-polymer is USDA/FDA, NSF and 3-A Dairy compliant in natural color for use in meat- and poultry-packaging facilities. This material demonstrates excellent impact resistance and formability, while also being lightweight. It also has outstanding chemical resistance and performs well in corrosive environments. Colors: Natural (translucent white), white, black and blue.
  • Polypropylene Co-Polymer
    Polypropylene co-polymer offers the same chemical resistance of homo-polymer along with the added benefit of better resistance to stress cracking at low temperatures while being more pliable.
  • Flame-Retardant Polypropylene
    Polypropylene also is available in two flame-retardant formulations. Both offer the best overall fire-resistant qualities of any competitive FRP material. This flame resistance, however, does not come at the expense of aesthetics and high performance.
