POLYPROPYLENE (PP)

DESCRIPTION

Polypropylene is a lightweight heat-resistant, semi-rigid material ideally suited for use in applications at elevated temperature. In steam applications, its low moisture absorption rate and resistance to staining makes it an excellent choice. High tensile strength coupled with impact resistance and high compressive strength allow it to be used in a multitude of structural applications. Polypropylene can easily be machined with wood or metal working tools into intricate shapes. Pieces can be joined by numerous welding techniques including both fusion and butt welding along with many other methods.
