PPH Board Introduction
1. Overview of PPH Board
PPH board is an advanced high-performance polypropylene material, characterized by high molecular weight and low melt flow rate. It is a modified polypropylene (PP) material that undergoes β-modification, resulting in a refined crystalline structure.
2. Characteristics of PPH Board
(1) Physical Characteristics
- Lightweight
PPH board has a density approximately one-seventh that of metal pipes, making it lightweight, easy to transport, and convenient for installation. - Aesthetic Appearance
The board features smooth inner and outer surfaces, low fluid resistance, a soft color tone, and an attractive appearance. - Uniform Thickness and Smooth Surface
Manufactured through extrusion, calendering, cooling, and cutting processes, PPH board exhibits consistent thickness and a smooth, flat surface.
(2) Performance Characteristics
- Corrosion Resistance and Non-Scaling
PPH board resists corrosion from most acids, alkalis, salts, and solvents, making it ideal for corrosive environments such as chemical plants and laboratories. It prevents issues like rust stains on sinks or bathtubs and avoids pipeline blockages due to scaling. Among all polypropylene materials, PPH demonstrates the highest chemical resistance. - High Temperature and Pressure Resistance
PPH board can withstand temperatures up to 100°C (operating range: -20°C to +100°C) and maintain stability in high-temperature environments. It is suitable for hot water systems with water temperatures up to 95°C. - Energy-Saving Insulation
With a thermal conductivity only 1/200th that of metal pipes, PPH board offers excellent insulation for hot water pipelines, significantly reducing energy loss. - Superior Mechanical Properties
PPH board possesses high strength and rigidity, capable of withstanding significant loads and impacts without fracturing or deforming. It also offers excellent impact resistance and tensile strength. - Strong Elastic Recovery
The board can compress by up to 50% and retains high strength and durability, unmatched by materials like rubber. - Pressure, Impact, and Wear Resistance
PPH elastomers exhibit exceptional tensile strength, tear resistance, high elasticity, and resistance to high-pressure loads, wear, oil, acids, and alkalis. - Excellent Electrical Insulation
PPH board serves as an effective electrical insulating material, preventing electrical conduction and blocking electromagnetic waves. - Low Water Absorption
With minimal water absorption, PPH board maintains stability in humid environments and resists surface moisture adhesion. - High Performance and Weldability
PPH material offers superior performance and is easy to weld. It provides the highest pressure resistance among polypropylene materials, ensuring longer service life and enhanced system safety. - Excellent Low-Temperature Impact Resistance
Compared to traditional engineering plastics, PPH board retains significant impact strength even at low temperatures.
