Simona Polypropylene (PP) is the most widely used material for chemical-technical applications. Compared to PE, it displays greater rigidity particularly in the upper service temperature range (up to +100°C). Its key characteristics also include excellent chemical resistance, good long-term properties when exposed to various substances and high stress crack resistance.

There are two types of polypropylene: homopolymers (PP-H) and copolymers (PP-C). PP-H consists entirely of a combination of propylene monomers and covers a service temperature range from 0°C to +100°C. PP-C features a chemical combination of propylene monomers and ethylene monomers, which increases the material's impact strength at low temperatures. PP-C covers a service temperature range from –20°C to +80°C and is less rigid than PP-H. SIMONA offers best-in-class products of the highest possible quality in both categories – for applications that demand maximum safety and reliability.

In the form of the SIMODUAL² double-containment piping system, SIMONA has developed an innovative comprehensive system with integrated fixing points for industrial pipeline construction. The focus is on a standardised product solution to meet maximum safety standards without any elaborate or expensive one-off designs.

To ensure maximum safety, SIMODUAL² piping systems are made up of an inner media pipe and an outer containment pipe. Production uses quality-assured individual components that are subjected to external monitoring.

In addition to PP-H AlphaPlus®, PE 100 is also used in this area. Instead of simple spray protection the piping system features a continuous, monitorable and pressure-resistant leak retention compartment. This means the pressure-resistant double-containment piping system SIMODUAL² provides maximum safety - even in the event of an accident.

SIMONA PPs Piping and Duct System has an extensive portfolio of pipes and fittings for industrial ventilation and air-conditioning systems, ranging from low-flammability PPs to electrically conductive PE-EL, PP-EL, PP-EL-s and PVDF-EL. SIMONA® PPs Pipes and Fittings, the low-flammability polypropylene being the perfect choice. Combining high acid resistance with an excellent fire rating, this material is extremely well suited to applications within the area of exhaust gas ventilation.

One of the key factors in favour of using plastics in plant construction is their very good resistance to a large number of aggressive chemicals. With sheets and pipes made of PE 100, PP, PVC, PVDF and E-CTFE we supply an extensive range of materials to match highly demanding applications in the chemical process industry and help to counteract damage due to corrosion.
