Smiths Metal Centres Polypropylene PP-ELS

The FDA (US Food & Drug Administration) has approved the raw materials used for the PP-H grade to allow its use in contact with food – check for any specific limitations required by the FDA.

Chemical Resistant, Electrically Conductive, Excellent Surface Hardness, Food Contact Acceptable, General Purpose, Good Machinability, High Tensile Strength, Low Moisture Absorption, Low Residual Stress

Electrical & Electronics — Other Electrical & Electronics Applications

The machining of polypropylene is uncomplicated, provided the component tolerances allow for polypropylene's relatively high co-efficient of thermal expansion and tensile elongation values. Full machining instructions can be supplied on request.

PP-H has extremely good resistance to acids, alkalis and alcohol, salts in aqueous solutions and many solvents. Slight swelling may be caused by permanent contact with grease, oil and wax, but generally not enough to limit the use of the material. Aromatics and halogenated hydrocarbons will cause a reduction in useful working life. The material has no resistance to strong oxidizing agents such as nitric or chromic acids, and halogens.

Correct grade selection for application is optimized; Very good all-round product for diverse engineering applications; Low cost assembly; Easy handling, low inertia, energy saving; Aids dimensional stability; Huge components are possible; Consistent quality ensures uniform characteristics in machining & performance

* Sizes not stocked are available on relatively short delivery time. 1, 2 or 3m lengths supplied or cut to customer requirements.
