Welding Rod in PP-C UV light blue

PP-C, polypropylene copolymer, is the tougher version of polypropylene. C stands for copolymer, a version that is tougher and takes temperature swings better than the homopolymer. The material is softer than PP-H and keeps its impact strength even when it is cold.

The density is 0.91 g/cm³ and the modulus 1200 MPa. The yield strength is 23 MPa and the elongation at yield 7 percent. The notched Charpy impact strength is 45 kJ/m², the ball indentation hardness 50 MPa and Shore D 67. The dielectric strength is 52 kV/mm.

The temperature range runs from -20 °C to +80 °C in short term testing. The building fire class is B2. PP-C in natural is approved for direct food contact per FDA.

PP-C is used for tanks, vats, tubes, ventilation ducts, machine guards and parts exposed to impacts in the cold. The material is welded with hot air or a welding rod and can be sawn, milled and drilled with ordinary tools.

UV means added UV protection, so the material does not yellow and turn brittle in the sun.

This welding rod in PP-C UV is UV light blue and is supplied in standard format, which suits hot air welding of sheets, tubes and parts. This welding rod in PP-C UV in UV light blue is particularly well suited to repairs and making tight joints.
