Product Introduction

PP-R(polypropylene random), enjoying good toughness and high strength,

can be easily processed and resist creep under high temperature. In addition,
as it has PP-R’s unique advantage-high transparency, it is widely used in
pipe, sheet, commodity, packing material, household appliance component
and film production.

PP-R pipe is made from extruded random copolymer polypropylene, which

can be injected into pipe fitting. Polypropylene random copolymer is a kind of
polypropylene, whose basic structure of macromolecular chain is modified by
various additional single moleculars. Ethylene, which can change
polypropylene’s physical property, is adopted most often. Compared to PP
homopolymer, random copolymer improves optical property(increases
transparency while decreasing opaque fog), enhances shock resistance and
flexibility. Besides, it lowers melting temperature and heat welding
temperature. Meanwhile, its chemical stability, water vapor isolation and
organ sensation(low odor) is the same as homopolymer. Random copolymer
is applied in blow molding and injection molding plastics, film and sheet
extrusion process, making food and medicine package materials, and daily
necessities.

Production Technique:
PP-R pipe is produced with extrusion technique: PP-R materials in hopper
enter extrusion machine by self-weight; heated, squeezed and mixed in
extruder barrel; squeezd out from die mouth after sufficient plasticization,
enter calibrator; through dragger machine and length measurement, cut by
cutterbar; put into warehouse after examination. Pipe fitting is produced with
injection technique.

Technical Process:
Pipe Production:
PP-R raw material→Vacuum suction and loading→Storing in
hopper→Feeding material→Extrusion and forming→Cooling and
shaping→Dragging→Cutting→Examining→Put in warehouse
Pipe Fitting Production:
PP-R raw material→Transferring and loading material→Storing in
hopper→Feeding material→Heating and melting→Squeezing and
injecting→Cooling and shaping→Opening mold→Examining→Put in
warehouse

Pipe Extrusion Parameter:

1. Screw Speed:5～38r/min
2. Barrel Temperature Distribution: 1~2 Area 180~190℃
3~4 Area 200~210℃
3. Mold Temperature: 200℃
4. Dragging Speed: 2~20m/min
Fittings Injection Parameter:
1. Barrel Temperature Distribution: Rear 160~170℃
Middle 200~230℃
Front 180~200℃
2. Nozzle: 170~190℃
3. Mold: 40~80℃
The defective goods in PP-R pipe production can be broken and reused,
which will increase the availabity of raw materials and reduce production cost,
improving economic performance.
