    FEATURES

    1、weight & Durable:Low density (0.90~0.94 g/cm³), making it easy to machine and transport.

    Excellent fatigue resistance, suitable for repeated bending and impact.

    2、Chemical Resistance:Resistant to most acids, alkalis, salts, and organic solvents (e.g., alcohols, aldehydes).

    Not suitable for strong oxidizing acids (e.g., concentrated sulfuric acid, nitric acid) and some halogenated hydrocarbons.

    3、Temperature Resistance:Operating range: -10°C to +100°C (short-term up to 140°C). Becomes brittle at low temperatures.

    4、Electrical Insulation:High resistivity, ideal for electrical insulation, especially in high-frequency environments.

    5、Mechanical Properties:Good rigidity but lower wear resistance than nylon (PA). Can be reinforced with glass fibers.Smooth surface with low friction coefficient, suitable for low-load sliding parts.

    6、Non-Toxic & Food Safe:Some grades comply with FDA standards for food and medical applications.

    7、Ease of Machining:Can be cut, drilled, turned, and welded (hot plate, ultrasonic welding).

    • Q&A
      Q
      What is a PP plastic rod?

      PP (Polypropylene) plastic rod is a cylindrical extruded or molded profile made from thermoplastic polypropylene. It is widely used in industrial, chemical, and consumer applications due to its lightweight, chemical resistance, and machinability.

      Q
      Can PP rods withstand high temperatures?

      Standard PP has a maximum operating temperature of 100°C. For higher heat resistance (up to 140°C), glass-filled PP or reinforced grades are recommended.

      Q
      Are PP rods UV-resistant?

      Standard PP degrades under prolonged UV exposure. For outdoor use, UV-stabilized PP or protective coatings are recommended,We can customize the plastic rods according to your requirements, adding UV stabilizer.

      Q
      Can PP rods be welded?

      Yes, PP can be welded using:

      —Hot plate welding (for thick rods).

      —Ultrasonic welding (for precision joints).

      —Solvent welding (less common due to PP’s chemical resistance)

      Q
      Are PP rods recyclable?

      Yes, PP is 100% recyclable. It can be melted and reprocessed into new products.

      Q
      What are the limitations of PP rods?

      —Not ideal for high-load applications (use reinforced PP or nylon instead).

      —Becomes brittle below -10°C.

      —Poor UV resistance unless stabilized

      Q
      What industries use PP rods?

      —Chemical processing (tanks, pipes, valves).    —Food & medical (FDA-compliant parts).

      —Water treatment (filtration systems).    —Electronics (insulating components).General manufacturing (low-friction parts)
