PPH Sheets
NovaLene Polypropylene homopolymer (PP-H) sheets are a semi-crystalline, translucent polymer with high toughness and weather resistance properties. PPH sheets are non-polar, electrically insulated thermoplastic with 60 to 70% crystallinity. PP-H sheets have a density of 0.90 to 0.91 g/cm3, among the lowest densities for all plastics. PP-H has replaced a lot of traditional materials of construction, including metals, wood, and concrete, in a variety of applications as they are resistant to many chemicals and solvents, making them good for aggressive environments. Other NovaLene ® polypropylene sheets are made in 3 primary grades for application-based usage – in PP-Homopolymer (PP-H), PP-copolymer (PP-C) & PP Random Copolymer (PP-R).
