PP FITTINGS
Polypropylene (PP) belongs to the Polypropylene is a thermoplastic from the polyolefin group. PP is a semi-rigid, translucent polymer with good toughness and weather resistance properties. It has low water absorption and is easily moulded as low cost. Polypropylene is a largely non-polar, partially crystalline thermoplastic with a crystallinity of 60 to 70%. PP has a density of 0.90 to 0.91 g/cm3 which is amongst the lowest densities for all plastics. PP has a non-swelling and insoluble surface; and is characterized by its outstanding chemical resistance, high thermal resistance and good fatigue strength.
Polypropylene combines all the required favorable properties for modern industrial pipeline constructions, including
- Excellent Chemical Resistance - Increases reliability and scope of use
- High Impact Strength - Better durability
- High Thermal Resistance - Less vulnerable to weathering
- High-Stress Crack Resistance - Prevents inching growth of cracks
- Excellent Fusion Capabilities. - Ease of installation and movement
- Low density, Low weight - Quick installation and transportation
- Homogenous structure - Aesthetically superior pipelines
- Good elasticity - Reduces the number of fittings & eases installation
- Non-Toxic, Food Grade - Can be used in food and pharma industry
- Smooth Inner surface - Low frictional loss & deposition, increased flow
- Good Thermal insulation - Excellent for use in hot and cold water systems
- Very good fatigue resistance - Possesses integral-hinge property
- Excellent dielectric properties - Safe even underwater with no performance loss
