Homopolymer Polypropylene
Quick Links
Product information
This homopolymer polypropylene is stress relieved, to provide a better starting point for the manufacture of orthotic and prosthetic devices that require homopolymer polypropylene.
- Lightweight
- More rigid than copolymer polypropylene
- Brittle
- NSP only supplies stress relieved sheet. Non-stress relieved sheet is more brittle than stress relieved
- Notch sensitive (if any stress is applied to any cuts or "nicks" at the edge of the material it will crack or split).
- Reasonable impact strength
- Impact markedly reduced at temperatures below 5°C / 41°F
- Shrinkage of 1% (by volume)
