Polypropylene sheet

The company «Stimex» produces polypropylene sheets by extrusion using high-quality European raw materials.

Polypropylene is a type of engineering plastic that has found wide application in various industries – chemical, food, medical, metallurgical, in machine engineering, and instrument engineering, as well as in galvanic production.

Polypropylene is characterized by high strength and chemical resistance to many aggressive environments, as well as high resistance to water, steam, and gas penetration. It has low friction resistance and is an excellent dielectric.

Sizes of polypropylene sheets, produced by «Stimex»

Applications:

  • Tanks, containers, reservoirs
  • Pools
  • Lining of baths
  • Air ducts, industrial ventilation
  • Grease traps, sand traps, oil traps
  • Wastewater treatment plants (WTP), wastewater purification

Polypropylene sheets are welded together using special extruders that ensure full sealing of the structure.

Such containers are used for storing and transporting drinking and technical water, oils, acids, and agrochemicals.

Containers and reservoirs can be made both vertical and horizontal, cylindrical or rectangular in shape, reinforced with ribs for rigidity.

The main differences between polypropylene and polyethylene lie in their structure, properties, and areas of application

Frost resistance and heat resistance:

Polyethylene is better at withstanding low temperatures, while polypropylene has higher heat resistance.

Rigidity and flexibility:

Polypropylene is generally stiffer and stronger. Polyethylene is more flexible.

Resistance to chemicals:

Both polymers have high chemical resistance, but polyethylene is more resistant to acids, alcohols, and salts, while polypropylene performs better against fats and oils.
