POLYPROPYLENE (PP)

 

B.I.R.S. Machine & Supply is a distributor of Polypropylene Co-Polymer and Homo-Polymer sheet and rod. 

 

Co-Polymer Polypropylene that offers excellent impact strength and chemical resistance as well as high mechanical and tensile strength. Polypropylene Co-Polymer has good notched impact strength, is easy to weld and has an excellent resistance to stress cracking. The operating temperatures ranges from -22 °F to +190 °F.

 

BENEFITS

  • excellent impact strength 

  • high mechanical strength  

  • high tensile strength 

  • good notched impact strength 

  • easy to fabricate and weld 

  • excellent resistance to stress cracking 

  • very good chemical resistance 

  • food safe 

  • excellent dielectric properties 

  • poor resistance to UV 

  • operating temperature range from -22 °F to +190 °F

 

Homopolymer Polypropylene that offers slightly improved chemical resistance and upper temperature resistance as well as tensile strength and is a higher density than Polypropylene Co-Polymer. 

 

BENEFITS

  • excellent chemical resistance

  • improved upper temperature range

  • improved tensile strength

  • food safepoor resistance to UV

  • operating temperature range from +41 °F to +212 °F

 

30% Glass Filled Polypropylene is a Homopolymer Polypropylene that is reinforced with 30% glass fiber which greatly enhances mechanical properties as well as the temperature profile.  Reinforced PP has an improved dimensional stability, high tensile strength and high temperature resistance. Heat deflection temperature is +284°F at 264 psi loading.

Properties:

 

BENEFITS
