Polypropylene provides an attractive choice for many general and specialized applications requiring a monofilament with good solvent and chemical resistance, superior dielectric strength, low moisture absorption, and low density weight—at a lower cost.
In addition to industry standards, EMCO offers several proprietary polypropylene
products.
P/P
A general-purpose, unmodified polypropylene monofilament, P/P is an excellent
choice for a variety of uses, including filtration.
CP
Polypropylene-ethylene copolymer is similar to straight polypropylene, but
softer and more flexible which makes it ideal for weaving.
PPF/PPFO
Internally foamed to improve roundness, it yields more yards per pound because
of its 20-25% lower density. Well suited as cable filler or netting, EMCO
was the first to recognize its excellent electrical insulating properties.
In addition to being strong and non-hygroscopic, its round shape reduces
kinks. And, it
is available on large spools for longer continuous runs. These features make
PPFO a popular choice for double wall tank spacing as well as as well as
filler in wire and cable construction.
PPUV
A stabilized version of polypropylene with much improved resistance to ultraviolet
rays. It is ideal for outdoor use or where strong fluorescent lighting
is a factor. It is lightweight, easy to use and doesn't rust, which appeals
to agriculture industries such as vineyard fencing and protective covers for
aquaculture ponds.
EPF/CPF
An internally foamed version of the CP grade, we originally developed EPF
through our custom order program. Both EPF and CPF offer increased yield and
improved roundness and are ideal when compression resiliency is desired, such
as small parts conveyance cord.
PPFR
This is a flame retardant grade of polypropylene. Incorporating flame inhibitors/extinguishers,
this monofilament is ideal for air filters.
