PPH Materials
Petron Thermoplast supplies PPH (Polypropylene Homopolymer) sheets, rods, and custom-fabricated components engineered for demanding industrial environments.
Known for:
Excellent chemical resistance
Low moisture absorption
Lightweight strength
PPH is a cost-effective, weldable, and durable material widely used in chemical plants, water treatment, electroplating, marine, and food/pharma processing industries.
Key Features
Key Features of PPH Material
PPH (Polypropylene Homopolymer) is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymer with:
High rigidity & dimensional stability
Outstanding resistance to acids, alkalis, and salts
Low density (lightest engineering thermoplastic)
Superior weldability for fabrication
Compared to standard polypropylene (PP-C), PPH has:
A higher melting point (160–165°C)
Greater stiffness
Better suitability for chemical-heavy and elevated temperature environments
Custom Product Manufacturing Available
If you are searching for customized product designs that meet your requirements, don’t worry. Petron Thermoplast also offers custom product manufacturing services to meet the unique needs of various industries. Work with our expert engineers to create custom designs suited for your application.
Technical Data
Excellent chemical resistance (acids, bases, salts, solvents)
Very low moisture absorption (<0.01%)
High fatigue resistance and tensile strength
Weldable & machinable into complex parts
FDA & RoHS compliant grades available
Cost-effective vs. PVDF/PTFE for industrial applications
Comparision
HDPE
PPH is stiffer and resists higher temperatures.
PVDF
PPH is more economical, but PVDF outperforms in extreme chemicals.
PVC
PPH is lighter, weldable, and has better fatigue resistance.
