PPH (Polypropylene
Homopolymer) natural / beige
Polypropylene
is noted for its excellent chemical resistance in corrosive
environments. Polypropylene Homopolymer (PPH) possesses excellent
resistance to organic solvents and degreasing agents
as well as electrolytic attack. PPH sheet is harder and has
a higher temperature resistance than HDPE but lower
impact resistance and becomes brittle below ~0C. Hence
like polyethylene's, polypropylene has good chemical
but poor UV resistance (unless stabilised or protected).
Polypropylene
copolymer (PPC) grades are preferred for all applications
exposed to cold conditions. These copolymers have better
impact strength, maintained down to lower temperatures,
than homopolymer at the expense of quite small reductions
in other properties. Copolymer sheets
are used extensively in Hygienic Lining Systems for
wall and ceiling cladding. Hygienic, tough and impact
resistant, it will stand repeated steam cleaning and
is ideal in all food industry applications.
