POLYSTONE® PP
PP | Polypropylene
Characteristics: Low density, high durability, minimal moisture absorption, good sliding behavior, limited deep-drawing characteristics, good machinability, welds extremely well, withstands moderate impacts, very good chemical resistance, food safe (FDA)
Very good resistance to acids, bases, alcohol, aldehydes, organic solvents, and grease
Limited resistance (swelling) to some hydrocarbons (fuels)
No resistance to oxidants (formation of stress cracks)
Typical applications: Components requiring a high chemical resistance.
e.g. reservoirs, pipes, fittings, pump components
