Available qualities:
PP-H
The polypropylene homopolymer (PP-H) is a thermoplastic material that exhibits high strength, stiffness and chemical resistance. Its properties are similar to polyethylene, but it is somewhat harder and more heat resistant.
Colors: natural and grey
PPs
Flame retardant polypropylene.
PP GF 30 black
The 30% glass fiber reinforced polypropylene has increased dimensional stability, very high stiffness and high heat resistance.
PP EL black
Polypropylene with very good electrical conductivity which is particularly suitable for use in explosion-proof areas.
PPs EL black
Electrically conductive, flame-retardant polypropylene. It fully complies with the requirements of the ATEX directive valid throughout Europe in terms of low flammability and antistatic charging. This makes this material particularly suitable for applications in potentially explosive areas.
PP-C
Polypropylene copolymer, it is characterized by high strength, very good chemical and corrosion resistance and high toughness at temperatures down to –30 °C. However, the stiffness is lower compared to PP-H.
