  • Wide temperature range (+80 to -20°C)
  • Excellent chemical resistance
  • Lightweight and weldable
  • Very low moisture absorption <0.1%
  • Food contact approved.

Applications


  • Chemical tanks
  • Protective cladding
  • Advertising
  • Signage
  • Packaging.

Forms


  • Sheet
  • Square tube
  • Weld rod

PPH


Product full identity:
Polypropylene Homopolymer

PPH is a low density material that offers high chemical resistance, stiffness and melting temperature. PPH also boasts a good upper operating temperature and high dynamic stability, however at low temperatures PPH can become brittle.

Properties


  • High rigidity
  • High temperature range (+100 to -0°C)
  • Excellent chemical resistance
  • Lightweight and weldable
  • Very low moisture absorption <0.1%
  • Food contact approved.

Applications


  • Chemical tanks
  • Cutting boards
  • Pumps
  • Valves
  • Gaskets.

Forms


  • Sheet
  • Rod
  • Angle
  • Square tube
  • Hollow rod
  • Pressure pipe
  • Channel
  • Weld rod

PP – FR


Product full identity: Polypropylene – Fire Retardant

PP-FR has most of the attributes of standard PP, with the added advantage of being a fire retardant grade.

Properties


  • Improved fire resistance
  • Wide temperature range (+80 to -0°C)
  • Excellent chemical resistance
  • Lightweight and weldable
  • Very low moisture absorption <0.1%.

Applications


  • Heating ventilation
  • Air conditioning systems.

Forms


  • Sheet
  • Weld rod

PPC – PB


Product full identity:
Polypropylene Copolymer – Polyester Backed

PPC-PB is a polyester backed PP sheet. By applying fibreglass to the fabric backing it is possible to acheive strength and rigidity that is comparable with metal.

Properties


  • Allows fibreglass reinforcement to be applied
  • Wide temperature range (+80 to -20°C)
  • Excellent chemical resistance
  • Very low moisture absorption <0.1%
  • Food contact approved.

Applications


  • Large tanks that require fibreglass reinforcement.

Forms


  • Sheet

PP / PE – R 


Product full identity:
Polypropylene / Polyethylene – Regenerated

PP/PE-R is a regenerated material consisting of a mix of PP and PE. This product offers similar properties to virgin grades but without any warranty. This material is not recommended for welding.

PP-R is similar to the above but with the added advantage of being weldable, for non-critical applications.

Properties


  • Low cost
  • Wide temperature range (+80 to -20°C)
  • High chemical resistance
  • Lightweight
  • Good UV resistance.

Applications


  • Signage, linings and impact strips.

Forms


  • Sheet
