Raw Material for Polypropylene (PP) Pipes Production

According to the Polypropylene (PP) pipes manufacturing plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Polypropylene (PP) pipes include Polypropylene Resin-Catalysts.

Manufacturing Process of Polypropylene (PP) Pipes

The extensive Polypropylene (PP) pipes production cost report consists of the following major industrial manufacturing process:

• From Polypropylene Resin and Catalysts: The manufacturing process of polypropylene (PP) pipes starts with material preparation. First, polymer materials are mixed with a catalyst and heated using a Mardon rod to create a molten state suitable for molding. The molten polypropylene is then extruded through a mold that can be adjusted to produce pipes of various sizes. After extrusion, the pipes enter a caliber chamber for secondary shaping, followed by a vacuum treatment to eliminate air pockets. They are then cooled in a pressurized chamber with water sprays, solidifying their shape. Once cooled, the pipes are drawn through rollers for final shaping and cutting.

Polypropylene has a density of around 900 kg/m³, which contributes to the lightweight nature of its pipes. It has a flexural modulus of about 1300 MPa, which indicates good stiffness. The tensile strength at yield is around 31 MPa, while the elongation at yield is about 0.08, reflecting moderate ductility. They also exhibit reasonable impact resistance with a Charpy impact strength of 50 kJ/m² at room temperature and a coefficient of thermal expansion of 15×10−5/°C. They are highly resistant to a variety of chemicals like alkalis and many acids and can withstand temperatures ranging from -10°C to +95°C. They have excellent electrical insulation properties and moisture resistance that prevent water absorption and maintain structural integrity. All these physical and chemical properties make them useful across sectors such as construction, agriculture, and chemical processing.
