DOCAPRENE (polypropylene) product family features

Polypropylene is one of the most widely used plastics in industry. Its chemical resistance is outstanding and it is a highly versatile material family. Its low specific weight, economical price, and machinability make it popular for applications with low mechanical stresses, where there is no significant abrasion or slippage. It is also available in flame retardant, medical, electrically conductive (ELS) and glass fibre (GF or GF30). We also supply in sheet, rod and tube formats.

Some important features

Flow limit: min. 30 MPa, modulus of elasticity: min. 1300 MPa
Hardness: 70 MPa (ball indentation, H961/30)
Chemically resistant, weatherproof
Good weldability
Application temperature range: -20°C/+90°C
At low temperatures, below -10°C, the material's brittleness reduces its impact strength, making it brittle
The base stone has good electrical insulation properties even in wet media
Good machinability

Main areas of application

Machine parts subject to minor mechanical stress, such as bearings, gears
Elements for material handling systems and chutes subject to minor abrasion
Artificial coverings, general coverings
Chemical tanks, storage vessels
Electrolytic tanks, components
Electrical insulating components
Amusement and advertising equipment and devices

Machining technology

Chipping (turning, milling, drilling, sawing): traditional metalworking tools, in some cases woodworking tools - carbon steel, high-speed steel, carbide, diamond - can be used, only with sharp finish
It heats up during machining and may melt due to the heat generated, so this should be taken into account when choosing the speed and cooling is recommended to allow high cutting speeds (e.g. v = 200-400 m/min for turning and milling, v = 50-100 m/min for drilling)
Gluing: difficult to stick
Welding, shaping: feasible
