Polypropylene (PP)
PP material with good mechanical properties. Dedicated for prototyping of PP parts, as well as functional parts utilizing chemical resistance, weldability and ductility.
Functions:
- Great chemical resistance
- Low density enabling buoyancy
- Recyclability
- Suitable for pneumatics
- Weldability with other PP parts
Applications:
- Automotive industry (reservoirs, piping, housings)
- Plastic parts producers (integrate with injection molded PP)
- Laboratories (custom chemical tools, i.e holders or vessels)
- Quality, low volume production of low stress parts
- General prototyping of PP parts
