    Polypropylene Properties
    Polypropylene (PP) is a thermoplastic polyloefin material which can have several different polymer chain structures depending on the polymerisation conditions
    and addition of ethylene compolymer. These specific PP compounds have characteristics and properties that make them suitable for different types of pipe
    applications.

    The chemical resistance and mechanical properties of PP Homopolymer (PP-H) pipes means they are predominantly used in industrial piping applications. PP
    Random copolymer pipes are used in domestic hot and cold water pressure piping systems due tho their elevated temperature and internal pressure resistance.
    PP Block copolymer (PP-B) has high stiffness, high impact strength and excellent chemical and abrasion resistance which makes it an ideal material for sewerage
    and drainage applications. Vinidex StormPRO and SewerPRO pipes are manufactured from PP-B materials.

    Melt flow rate 0.3g/10 min ISO 1133

    Melting Point 130- 170C

    Temperature
    StormPRO and SewerPRO pipes have high temperature resistance. Continuous service temperatures of up to 60C and short term applications of up to 90C will
    not adversely affect the performance of StormPRO and SewerPRO pipes.

    Weathering Resistance
    StormPRO and SewerPRO pipes are manufactured from compounds containing additives which ensure their resistance to ultraviolet light and weathering
    during handling and storage.
