Polypropylene
Polypropylene is widely known for use in industrial processing, chemical production, utilities and in building technologies. It is a durable plastic with high-impact mechanical strength and strong resistance to both abrasion and chemicals.
PP is a welded system that is installed using IR fusion, butt fusion or socket fusion welding techniques.
Benefits
- Moderate temperature rating
