- Polypropylene Rod is considered a general purpose engineering plastic that has advantages and disadvantages and we will try to highlight both sides for you.
Polypropylene Rod Advantages :
- Economical
- Good Chemical Resistance
- Impact Resistance
- Non Stick
- Good Acid Resistance
Polypropylene Rod is very acid resistant and as such a lot of acid tanks including sulphuric are manufactured from Polypropylene.
Polypropylene Rod has also got very good chemical resistance, again, a lot of chemical tanks and fittings are manufactured from Polypropylene.
Polypropylene Rod is one of our most economical plastics and as such is ideal for minimal cost or sacrificial components.
Polypropylene Rod is incredibly light weight, it is so light, it even floats
This is the characteristic of most things not sticking to Polypropylene, this can be an advantage in say a cement or concrete application where not having the product sticking to a component would be better
Polypropylene Rod Disadvantages :
-
Bonding
- Machine ability
- Working Temperature
- Fire Resistance
Machine ability of Polypropylene Rod :
- Due to Polypropylene Rod's fairly low melting point, more care is needed to prevent heat build up during machining or a poor finish could result.
Bonding :
- Polypropylene Rod is very difficult to have any great success gluing or bonding, although not impossible with specialist adhesives, we would probably recommend welding if it was feasible.
Fire Resistance :
- Polypropylene Rod has a fire rating of HB which means that not only will it burn, it will continue to burn when the flame is taken away and it will drip molten
Polypropylene Rod Applications :
- The most obvious one would be acid or chemical components or bungs or thread protectors or perhaps bundles of items that will be expected to withstand repeated impact.
Fire Resistance :
- Polypropylene Rod has a fire rating of HB which means that not only will it burn, it will continue to burn when the flame is taken away and it will drip molten
