Polypropylene Natural Rod

Natural polypropylene rod is a lightweight, rigid engineering plastic offering excellent chemical resistance and low moisture absorption. It is ideal for machined components in wet, corrosive or hygienic environments where metal parts would quickly degrade.

Supplied in standard lengths such as 500mm, 1000mm and 2000mm, polypropylene rod machines cleanly and provides good fatigue resistance. It is commonly used for fluid handling parts, structural spacers and components in food, chemical and water-treatment applications.

• Excellent resistance to a wide range of acids, alkalis and solvents
• Very low moisture absorption for good dimensional stability in damp conditions
• Good impact and fatigue resistance for repeated loading applications
• Lightweight and easy to machine using standard workshop tools
• Suitable for hygienic and non-contaminating components in food and pharma plant
• Used for bushings, valve parts, pump components, spacers and manifolds
