PP NRV Nut Bolt Plain & Threaded

General Description and Properties

PP nuts and bolts are valued for their specific material properties that make them a good alternative to metal fasteners in certain environments.

Material: Made from Polypropylene (PP), a semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymer known for its durability and chemical stability.
Corrosion Resistance: They are highly resistant to most acids, alkalis, and solvents, making them suitable for use in chemical processing, water treatment, and marine environments where metal fasteners would rust or corrode.
Lightweight: Polypropylene has a low density (around 0.9 g/cm³), making the fasteners significantly lighter than metal alternatives.
Electrical Insulation: As a non-conductive plastic, PP fasteners are ideal for use in electrical installations and electronic devices to prevent short circuits and electrical interference.
Temperature Resistance: They can generally withstand temperatures up to approximately 80°C (176°F) for continuous use, but have a lower melting point than some other plastics (160°C to 170°C).
Durability: They offer good tensile strength and impact resistance but are not suitable for high-load or structural applications where greater mechanical robustness is required.
UV Resistance: Standard PP has poor UV resistance and requires stabilizing additives for prolonged outdoor use.
