Polypropylene Features / Properties
Polypropylene hollow balls offer excellent protection against chemicals, including many commonly used acids, oils, and water-based liquids. Hollow PP balls also boast a higher temperature resistance than other materials such as HDPE. PP balls meet current FDA requirements and offer exceptional performance properties, including high resistance to corrosion and moderate resistance to temperature changes and UV light. PP hollow balls are a great option for any application requiring a ball with buoyancy and a light weight.
Hollow balls manufactured from polypropylene are extremely versatile and have a variety of uses ranging from cosmetic dispensers to carburetors. Hollow polypropylene plastic balls are commonly used for chemical, medical, and laboratory devices such as in blood transfusion kits.
