Polypropylene (PP) |
| |
|
General
Polypropylene is a thermoplastic from the polyolefin family. It is a semi-crystalline
material. Its density is lower than that of other well-known thermoplastics such as
PE or PP. Its mechanical characteristics, its chemical resistance and especially its
relatively high heat deflection temperature have made polypropylene one of the most
important materials used in piping installations today. |
|
There are three different types which are conventionally supplied for piping installations:
\ Isotactic PP Homopolymeride (PP-H)
\ PP block co-polymeride (PP-B)
\ PP random co-polymeride (PP-R)

Characteristics
Pipes and fittings are made of polypropylene Random, also known as type 3. The quality of our material can guarantee a long life (50 years), high resistance to temperature and pressure. This material is suitable for hot and cold water and heating systems. The special properties of this material, compared to other materials, give the following advantages: |
\ High dimensional stability (when hot)
\ Maximum resilience |
