AKU®-LEN PP-H SHAPED TUBES SQUARE TUBES

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. 

All product designations with ®=reg. Product names are the property of the respective manufacturer

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 absorbs only small amounts of water, resulting 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.

  • Building industry: 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 that require a combination of strength, temperature resistance and low weight.

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