petrochemical

it is characterized by high chemical resistance to certain acids, oils and fats. It is easy to weld, but it does not conduct heat, it is nontoxic and harmless to people. It is made of containers for yogurts, bottles, tourist plates, cable insulations, bumpers, gas installation pipes. He also found application in the production of laboratory and medical equipment.

Polypropylene ( PP ) is thermoplastis copolymer used in a wide variety of different applications including packaging, textiles, plastic parts and reusable containers. It is defined by a density range of 0.946 g/cm3 for crystalline. PP is resistant to many chemical solvents, bases and acids. Polypropylene is most commercial isotactic and has an intermediate level of crystallinity between that of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Polypropylene is normally tough and flexible, especially when copolymerized with ethylene. This allows polypropylene to be used as an engineering plastic, competing with materials such as ABS. Polypropylene is reasonably economical, and can be made transucent when uncolored but is not as readily made transparent as polystyrene, acrylic, or certain other plastics.

Dixon manufacture and supply couplings, hose and accessories which aims to fulfil the requirements of the full Petrochemical Life Cycle.

With polypropylene it’s possible to obtain very rigid products resistant to high temperatures. The product also has a low dimensional shrinkage.
