Industrial Beta-Polypropylene
Industrial Beta-Polypropylene
ß-Polypropylene is a member of the polyolefin family and is used in a wide variety of applications from acids and alkalies to organic solvents and even pure water. PP is one of the best materials to use for systems exposed to varying pH levels, as many plastics do not handle both acids and bases well. PP is ductile at ambient temperature and demonstrates good impact strength. It also has good thermal stability up to 90°C (194°F) compared to other thermoplastics such as HDPE and PVC. It is not recommended for use with strong oxidizing acids, aromatics and chlorinated hydrocarbons.
Polypropylene is available in two grades:
Homopolymer (PP-H) made from Type I resin conforming to ASTM D 4101, produced from 100% propylene monomer
Copolymer (PP-R) made from Type II resin produced from 94% propylene with 6% ethylene. Copolymer resins generally exhibit better impact strength.
Polypropylene (PP-R and PP-H) comply with various food regulations (FDA, OENORM B 5014 Part 1, BGA, KTW guidelines).
