Polypropylene

This materials is…in many applications where chemical resistance and stiffness are a must.

• Resistant to 180°F and  handles acids, alkalies and solvents extremely well.
• USDA and FDA approved for use in food processing applications.
• Excellent stiffness and rigidity
• Very good Dielectric Properties
• Impact and Stress Crack Resistant
• FDA and NSF Compliant

Still not sure Polypropylene is the proper material for your application, consult our free Plastic Materials Selection Guide.

Applications – Frequently used in:

• Can be heat formed into almost any shape
• Vacuum forming Polypropylene is also possible
• Unsurpassed chemical resistance
• Reliably handles all acids, alkalis and solvents up to 180°F
• Resistant to abrasion, cuts and moisture
• High tensile and compressive strength
• Dependably maintains rigidity in all weather conditions
• Superb dielectric properties
• Wide variety of formulations including conductive, glass filled and static dissipative
• Approved by the USDA and FDA for use in food processing applications
