Polypropylene PP 2320
Fillamentum Polypropylene PP 2320 is a high-tech filament made from polypropylene (PP), known for its exceptional mechanical properties, toughness, and chemical resistance. It is ideal for applications such as tanks and pipelines due to its water-repellent nature and electrical insulation capabilities.
Main Features:
- Excellent chemical and weather resistance; suitable for harsh environments.
- Thermal resistance up to 100 °C and flexibility down to -40 °C.
- Good impact resistance with low moisture absorption.
- Safe for food contact and recyclable, making it environmentally friendly.
