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
