AKU®-LEN PP-H HOLLOW RODS

Polypropylene has good rigidity, hardness and strength, but low notched impact strength.
PP does not tend to form stress cracks and is easy to weld.
However, embrittlement occurs at sub-zero temperatures. 
The chemical and electrical properties are very good.
The

continuous operating temperature
is between +5 °C and approx. +100° C. 

  • High rigidity, high surface hardness
  • Very good welding and processing properties
  • Very suitable for tank and apparatus construction
  • Low density
  • Very good chemical resistance
  • Low oxidation resistance, low abrasion resistance
  • Brittle in the cold

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.
