PP/PE Rods

Polypropylene has high electrical and chemical properties, good rigidity and excellent solidity. On the other hand, it is not very resistant to abrasion and atmospheric agents. PP is very resistant from a chemical point of view: up to 115 °C it maintains its resistance properties in the presence of aqueous solutions containing salts, acids and strong alkalis.

General applications: Mechanical, aeronautical, chemical, electrical, construction sectors in semi-finished products such as pipes, fittings, slabs, solid bars and profiles. The finished pieces are generally: tanks, plant components, fans, parts of submersible pumps, rings, flanges, pulleys, gears.

PE

Polyethylene has high resistance to chemical agents, absorbs little water and has good electrical properties; it is resistant to water, saline solutions, acids, alkalis, alcohol and gasoline. PE is physiologically harmless and is suitable for use in the food industry. It is a material that can be easily welded with traditional welding systems.

General applications: Mechanical, chemical, electrical, advertising, food sectors. The finished parts are generally: equipment for the chemical industry, bins and containers, coatings for hoppers and slides, components for pumps, sliding elements, rollers, gears, sliding guides and cutting boards.
