What Is Polypropylene (PP) Pipe

Feb 20, 2025|

The introduction of Polypropylene (PP) Pipe

Industrial Plastics stock Polypropylene pipe as an alternative to traditional pipe materials. Commonly known as 'PP', Polypropylene pipe has similar properties to HDPE and polyethylene but has higher heat and chemical resistance, and is slightly harder than the alternatives. Given its properties, PP pipe is generally used in drainage systems or for industrial applications.

 

Why use Polypropylene Pipe?

Polypropylene plastic is a polyolefin meaning it can be used as an alternative to PVC pipe, which currently holds roughly 80% market share. The use of PP pipe in certain situations is due to the composition of the material and in turn pipe that makes it ideal for high temperature, chemically present situations.

 

Applications

At this point, the largest users of PP pipes are within the industrial sector, particularly for drainage and sewerage applications. That said, common applications include:

Chemical drainage systems

Chemical transport

Industrial process

High purity water (hot and cold) distribution

Water for space heating (hot and cold)

Gravity sewer systems

Process cooling

 

Benefits

PP pipe offers specific benefits that make it ideal for the applications listed above and more. These benefits include:

Low internal roughness – less friction internally

Lightweight yet as strong as alternatives

Temperature resistance

Resistant to many agents – e.g. sulfuric acid

Flame retardant
