Excellent Chemical Stability
PP boards have good corrosion resistance to most acids, alkalis, salts and other chemical substances (such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, sodium hydroxide, etc.), and are particularly suitable for low-concentration chemical environments. They also have certain tolerance to most organic solvents such as alcohols, esters, and ketones, making them suitable for storing or transporting non-strong polar solvents. Moreover, PP materials are not prone to hydrolysis in humid or water environments, so they can be used to handle water-containing chemical media.
Cost efficiency
Compared with materials such as stainless steel, fiberglass, and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), PP boards have lower raw material and processing costs, making them suitable for large-scale manufacturing of chemical equipment (such as storage tanks, tanks, pipelines, etc.). PP sheets can be processed into various complex structures (such as reaction tanks, conveying pipelines, protective covers, etc.) through welding, cutting, bending, etc., to meet the customized needs of different chemical scenarios. Under reasonable usage conditions, the service life of PP sheet equipment can reach 5-10 years, with low maintenance costs.
Safety and Environmental Protection
Our PP sheets meet hygiene standards, can be used to handle chemical materials that come into contact with food (such as in the production of food additives), and will not release harmful substances to pollute the medium. PP materials have excellent electrical insulation, making them suitable for insulating components in chemical equipment or scenarios with low anti-static requirements.
Application
They can be used to manufacture chemical storage tanks, reactor linings, acid-alkali tanks, conveying pipelines, waste gas treatment equipment, anti-corrosion platforms, etc.
They are particularly suitable for small and medium-sized chemical enterprises or working conditions with cost sensitivity and moderate corrosion (such as electroplating, pharmaceutical, water treatment, pesticide production and other fields).
Physical and chemical properties of PP
Properties | Details |
Chemical Stability | Excellent resistance to most acids (e.g., hydrochloric acid, dilute sulfuric acid), alkalis (e.g., sodium hydroxide), and salts, especially in low-concentration environments. |
Solvent Resistance | Tolerant to common organic solvents such as alcohols, esters, and ketones; less resistant to strong polar solvents (e.g., chloroform) at high temperatures. |
Hydrolysis Resistance | Resistant to hydrolysis in humid or aqueous environments, suitable for handling water-containing chemical media. |
Oxidation Resistance | Resistant to mild oxidation but may degrade under long-term exposure to strong oxidants (e.g., concentrated nitric acid) or high-temperature oxidative conditions. |
Food Safety Compliance | Food-grade PP sheets meet international standards (e.g., FDA, EU 10/2011), non-toxic and non-reactive with food substances. |
Melting Point | Typically ranges from 160°C to 170°C; remains stable below this temperature. |
