What is Polypropylene?
Polypropylene (PP) is a thermoplastic polymer widely used in various industrial and domestic applications due to its exceptional physical and chemical properties. Here is an overview of this material, which is essential in designing our heat exchangers for EcoStill.
Characteristics of Polypropylene
Chemical Resistance:
Polypropylene is highly resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, bases, and organic solvents. This chemical resistance is crucial for industrial applications exposed to corrosive environments.
Durability and Longevity:
This material is robust and durable, capable of withstanding harsh operating conditions without degrading. It resists fatigue and can endure high and low temperatures, making it an ideal choice for water treatment equipment.
Moisture and Absorption Resistance:
Unlike some plastics, polypropylene absorbs very little moisture, which helps maintain its mechanical and chemical properties even in humid environments.
Advantages of Polypropylene
By incorporating polypropylene heat exchangers in our ECOSTILL™ system, we offer several distinct benefits:
- Improved corrosion resistance, extending equipment lifespan.
- Reduced maintenance costs due to less material degradation.
- Increased operational efficiency thanks to the stability and durability of the components.
