AKU®-LEN PP SHEETS in PP-H and PPs

Polypropylene homopolymerized 

abbreviated as PP-H, is a special form of polypropylene produced by the homopolymerization of propylene.
PP-H is characterized by certain properties that make it suitable for specific applications in various industries.

Properties of PP-H:

• High temperature resistance:
  PP-H has good temperature resistance and can be used at higher temperatures than conventional polypropylene. It remains stable at temperatures up to around 100°C.

• Chemical resistance:
  PP-H is resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, bases and solvents. This property makes it attractive for applications in the chemical industry.

• Good strength:
  PP-H has good mechanical strength and can be used in structural applications.

• Low water absorption:
  PP-H only absorbs small amounts of water, which results in low moisture absorption.

• Electrical insulation:
  Like most types of polypropylene, PP-H is also a good insulator and is used in the electrical industry for the manufacture of electrical components.

• Lightweight:
  PP-H is lightweight compared to many other materials, which makes it easy to handle and use.

Applications of PP-H:

PP-H is used in various industries for specific applications, including:

• chemical industry:
  pipelines, tanks, fittings and other components due to its chemical resistance.

• Construction:
  Components for construction, especially where a certain temperature resistance and strength are required.

• Electrical industry:
  insulators, housings and other electrical components due to its good electrical insulation properties.

• Automotive industry:
  Parts where a combination of strength, temperature resistance and low weight is required.

Due to its specific properties, PP-H is a versatile choice for applications where good chemical and temperature resistance is required.
