Polypropylene Tube
Polypropylene stock tubing from Petro Extrusion Technologies offers a versatile, durable solution for a wide range of industrial applications, combining excellent chemical resistance with lightweight flexibility. As a leading manufacturer of custom and stock plastic tubing, Petro Extrusion provides polypropylene (PP) tubing in both standard and metric sizes, available in 50 ft. and 100 ft. coils.
Polypropylene stock tubing is engineered for resilience, with good chemical resistance to most organic solvents, fats, and non-oxidizing acids and bases at room temperature. Its resistance may decrease with high temperatures or strong oxidizers like concentrated nitric acid. With a specific gravity of 0.91, PP tubing is notably lightweight, making it easy to handle and install. It also offers durability and heat resistance, with a heat deflection temperature of around 200°F at 264 psi, enabling it to perform in higher temperature and pressure environments. Petro Extrusion ensures all stock PP tubing is made with certified “Animal Free” materials, meeting stringent safety standards for various applications.
The applications of polypropylene stock tubing are vast, thanks to its robust properties. It’s commonly used for transferring liquids or gases in industries like chemical processing, where its resistance to acids and alkalis is critical, such as in vacuum systems or fluid transfer lines. In manufacturing, PP tubing serves as protective sleeving for delicate components or as conduits in pneumatic systems. Its clarity-grade options make it suitable for applications requiring visual monitoring of flow, such as in laboratory settings. Petro Extrusion’s polypropylene stock tubing, available in 11 standard sizes and 5 metric sizes, provides a reliable, cost-effective solution for these diverse needs, ensuring performance and longevity in demanding environments.
