About Polypropylene Rods

Polypropylene Rods are produced with high-quality polypropylene homopolymer plastic by the extrusion process. The common colors are translucent, white, grey, and black. Normally, the diameter is from 4mm to 400mm, and the standard length is 1000mm or 2000mm.

Polypropylene rods offer good hardness and excellent chemical resistance. It is an economical plastic rod as an alternative to HDPE rods or ABS rods.

Normally, it can be machined by a CNC lathe turning machine. It is the right material for chemical processing and storage applications.

Frequently Asked Questions about Polypropylene Rods

Yes, UVTECO can machine PP rods according to drawings, just send the drawings in .PDF and .STEP files to Email info@uvteco.com.

In fact, we don’t have a requirement for the Minimum Order Quantity of Polypropylene Rods if we stock it.

We can cut it to your size if you only order half or 1/3 rod.

Polypropylene Rod offers excellent chemical resistance and better hardness, and lower price than HDPE rod. Therefore, Polypropylene Rod is an economical plastic rod as an alternative to HDPE rods.

Polypropylene rods are widely used in different industries because of its strength and adaptability. It is frequently used in manufacturing components and parts for a corrosion environment.

There are two methods to cut Polypropylene Rod:

  • By band saw: it is convenient to cut PP rod into any length, but the tolerance is not good;
  • By turning-lathe: If you are an engineer, you can cut, drill, tap a Polypropylene Rod by turning-lathe, it can get a very good tolerance;

Yes, polypropylene is flammable. Its core elements, hydrogen and carbon, make it flammable. Polypropylene’s flash point is 260 °C, and its autoignition temperature is 388 °C.

No, polypropylene doesn’t rust because it isn’t a metal. Rust occurs when metals oxidize in the presence of moisture. Polypropylene is a plastic material that is resistant to both corrosion and chemicals. This resistance makes it perfect for various applications where exposure to moisture or chemicals might otherwise cause damage.

Polypropylene is not extremely UV-resistant in its base form, so consistent exposure to sunlight can degrade its integrity.

However, adding additives like titanium oxide or carbon black pigments can improve polypropylene’s UV resistance. You can also add absorbers, like Benzotriazoles, to improve the UV resistance of polypropylene by only 0.5%.

Yes, polypropylene plastic is generally safe to use with hot water and is FDA-approved for making food storage boxes.

Polypropylene has high heat tolerance. And still, it doesn’t leak any hazardous chemicals when burnt.

Polypropylene plastic is a better chemical-resistant, lower-density thermoplastic than PVC and PE plastic. It also has better dimensional stability.

Polypropylene is durable, flexible, lightweight, moisture-resistant, and affordable. All these characteristics make it popular in the plastic product manufacturing industry.

Polypropylene plastic has numerous advantages:

  • It can withstand harsh environments without deforming.
  • This plastic is waterproof. So it is less likely to deteriorate and mold.
  • Polypropylene is the most effective plastic.
  • PP is recyclable.
  • It is non-toxic and safe for food storage.
  • Lightweight and easy to transport.
  • It is chemical-resistant and isn’t made of toxic elements, which is safe for the environment.

Polypropylene has a good heat resistance characteristic. Its functional temperature ranges from 130°C to 171°C (melting point). The melting point should not be confused with the flash point.

Melting point refers to when a substance starts to melt. Flashpoint refers to the minimum temperature when the substance begins to release vapor.

Polypropylene is strong enough and can withstand harsh environments without breaking. The pressure PP can tolerate is around 4800 psi. So, despite being lightweight, PP can withstand fairly heavy loads.

Yes, polypropylene lasts long.

You can expect a lifetime lasting of PP. If polypropylene products aren’t exposed to sunlight, they can last up to 200 years. However, most consumer products will stay usable for 20 to 30 years.
