PP is generally available in three forms for use in pipelines PP-Homopolymer (PP-H), PP-Copolymer (PP-C) and PP Random Copolymer (PP-R). Other options in PP include: fire-retardant grades and electro-conductive grades. PP can also be UV stabilized by use of a stabilizer, and can be produced in black color.
Polypropylene combines all the required favorable properties for modern industrial pipeline construction
Excellent Chemical Resistance | – Higher reliability and wider scope of use |
