Polypropylene Rods
- Color: White
- Temperature Range: 45° to 180° F
- Tensile Strength: 4,060-4,930 psi (Poor)
- Impact Strength 0.9-1.9 ft.-lbs./in. (Poor)
- Hardness: Rockwell R80-R90 (Hard)

Polypropylene Tubes
- Color: Black
- Temperature Range: Not Rated
- Tensile Strength: 4,060-4,930 psi (Poor)
- Impact Strength: 0.9-1.9 ft.-lbs./in. (Poor)
- Hardness: Rockwell R80-R90 (Hard)
- For Use Outdoors: No
With a hard, slippery surface that ensures smooth cutting, these polypropylene tubes are often fabricated into parts for laboratory equipment. They resist swelling when exposed to water, plus they’re good electrical insulators. The OD is oversized and the ID is undersized for finishing to the sizes listed.
Polypropylene Balls
- Color: Semi-Clear White
- Max. Temperature:
Solid Balls: 180° F
Hollow Balls: 220° F - Tensile Strength: 2,900-5,070 psi (Poor)
- Impact Strength: 0.9 ft.-lbs./in. (Poor)
- Hardness: Rockwell R99 (Hard)
- For Use Outdoors: No
- Specifications Met: See table
Resistant to swelling when exposed to water, these balls are often used in laboratory applications.
Hollow balls float. Use them in tanks to slow evaporation and reduce heat loss.

Calibration Kit for Metal-Detectable Plastics
Made with metal additives, these balls test the sensitivity of food-processing metal detectors. They’re often used to calibrate metal detectors to find metal-detectable plastic tools that have fallen into a batch. To calibrate your metal detector, run different balls through the line—the smaller the ball, the more sensitive the detector must be to recognize it. Since they’re spheres, their orientation won’t affect a metal detector’s ability to register them. These balls help you comply with Hazard and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs for food safety. They’re FDA compliant for direct contact with food. Balls are autoclavable, so you can sanitize them with steam.
