Tisoplen® PPRC is the registered trade mark for Polypropylene Random Copolymer compounds manufactured by Tisan.
The PPRC is thermoplastic resin produced through polymerization of propylene with ethylene link introduced in the polymer chain. Ethylene is the most common co-monomer which is causes changes to the physical properties of the polypropylene. Because of this random copolymers exhibit improved optical properties (increased clarity), improved impact resistance, increased flexibility and a decreased melting point and also has highly resistant to attack by such chemicals as acids, alkali’s, alcohols, low-boiling hydrocarbon solvents and many inorganic chemicals.
Tisoplen® PPRC is a specially modified highly-transparent polypropylene random copolymer with low melt flow rate.
Tisoplen® PPRC provides excellent impact resistance at low temperature and high chemical resistance. Combining glass fiber in production has proved to extreme rigidity and stiffness, high dimensional stability and minimal warpage for extrusion. These qualities are most important when manufacturing for hot&cold water pipes, discharge systems, gas distribution networks and heating systems.
Tisoplen® PPRC, formulations can also be developed to meet specific market needs.
