PP rods/bars offer good dimensional stability, low moisture absorption, and are easy to machine and weld. They are available in different diameters and lengths to meet specific project requirements. PP rods/bars are valued for their versatility, durability, and cost-effectiveness. They can be easily cut, drilled, and shaped to fit various design needs.
The performance characteristics of PP rod
Polypropylene (PP) bar characteristics: small proportion, non-toxic, insulation, acid, alkali, corrosion resistance.
PP bar has good solvent resistance, oil resistance, weak acid resistance, weak alkali resistance, high creep resistance and stress relaxation, excellent wear resistance, self-lubrication, fatigue, chemical stability, excellent electrical performance, non-toxic and harmless, uniform color, smooth surface, smooth, easy installation and maintenance, long service life, easy processing, solid welding and other characteristics. Other engineering plastics can not be compared.

Electronic and electrical
In circuit board manufacturing, PP rods can be used as supporting materials to ensure the stability and flatness of circuit boards.
In the production of insulation layers of wires and cables, PP rods play a key role, improving the service life and safety of wires and cables.
Construction engineering
PP rods are often used as supporting materials for building formwork. Due to their light weight, high strength and good weather resistance, they effectively improve construction efficiency and quality. At the same time, PP rods can also be used to make building components such as door and window frames and partition walls, bringing more design possibilities to modern buildings.
Environmental protection and sustainable development
Due to their recyclability and easy processing, PP rods have been widely used in environmentally friendly packaging, disposable tableware, etc., and have made contributions to environmental protection.
Industrial equipment and machinery
PP rods are widely used in industrial equipment and machinery such as drinking water and sewage pipes, corrosion-resistant tanks, barrels, wastewater, exhaust gas emission equipment, washing towers, clean rooms, seals, spray carriers, and semiconductor factories.
Medical equipment and laboratory equipment
PP rods are non-toxic and resistant to boiling water, so they are suitable for medical equipment and laboratory equipment, such as some medical instruments and laboratory utensils.
Other application fields
PP rods are also used in food machinery, electroplating processes, and the production of fibers and ropes due to their acid and alkali resistance, organic solvent resistance, and excellent electrical insulation properties.
