Maven Plastics - PP-CO Euro Beige Plastic Welding Rods, Coils, & Reels - (Polypropylene Copolymer)

Product Name

Maven Plastics - PP-CO Euro Beige Plastic Welding Rods, Coils, & Reels - (Polypropylene Copolymer)

Brief Description

These Maven Plastics PP-CO Euro Beige welding rods, coils, and reels are made from 100% pure Polypropylene Copolymer (PP-CO) plastic, designed for strong, flexible, and durable plastic welding and repair. They are specifically formulated for joining or repairing polypropylene materials, ensuring optimal adhesion and longevity.

Popular Applications & Uses

- Repairing and fabricating plastic components and structures- Welding tanks, containers, and industrial components- Automotive repairs, such as bumpers and interior parts- Constructing and repairing marine components, including boats- Creating and repairing drains, pipes, and storage tanks in construction- Manufacturing food storage bins and equipment- Laboratory equipment fabrication and repair- Aquaculture applications like building ponds and fish tanks- General repair of broken polypropylene items

Industries that Commonly Use It

- Automotive Service/Repair- Chemical Industry- Construction/Building Services- Fabrication- General Manufacturing- Marine- Medical Device/Prosthetics- Packaging Services or Contractor- Plastic Fabrication- Pool/Spa/Plumbing- Prosumer- Transportation/Specialty Vehicle

Special and Unique Features

- Made from 100% pure and homogeneous Polypropylene Copolymer plastic (PP Copolymer)- Euro Beige color, a soft-gray-tan-like beige- Available in various shapes: Round (1/8 inch, 5/32 inch, 3/16 inch), Triangle (7/32 inch), and Flat (1/16 x 5/8 inch)- Offered in rods, coils, and reels for different application needs- Provides strong, lasting bonds resistant to impacts and weathering

Key Properties

- Material: Polypropylene Copolymer (PP-CO)- High chemical resistance to organic solvents, fats, most acids, and alkalis- Excellent resistance to material fatigue- Low density and high strength-to-weight ratio, making it lightweight yet strong- Good impact resistance and toughness- High melting point (approx. 160-170°C or 320-338°F)- Good moisture resistance- Physiologically harmless and odorless, suitable for food and pharmaceutical sectors- Recyclable and environmentally friendly

Surface Compatibility

- Strictly compatible with Polypropylene (PP) plastics, specifically Polypropylene Copolymer (PP-CO or PPCO)- Also compatible with Polypropylene Homopolymer (PPHO)- Critical to match the welding rod material to the base plastic for strong, durable welds; mixing different plastic types will result in poor quality repairs

Known backups / known substitutes

- Polypropylene Homopolymer (PPHO) welding rods (often compatible with PPCO)- Other types of plastic welding rods (e.g., PE, ABS, PVC) are substitutes for different plastic materials, but not for PP-CO applications

Comparison Note

Polypropylene Copolymer (PP-CO) welding rods offer enhanced flexibility and impact resistance compared to Polypropylene Homopolymer (PPHO) due to the presence of ethylene monomers. While PP-CO is generally compatible with PPHO, it is crucial to match the specific plastic type for optimal weld strength and longevity. PP-CO is a widely used version of polypropylene for welding due to its balanced properties.
