Excellent resistance - recommended for continuous use

Why is PP resistant to Ammonium Sulfate?

PP shows excellent resistance to Ammonium Sulfate due to its semi-crystalline structure providing good chemical resistance to acids, bases, and organic solvents at moderate concentrations.

⚠️ When NOT to use PP

Avoid using Polypropylene with concentrated oxidizing acids, chlorinated solvents, and aromatic hydrocarbons. Becomes brittle below 0°C.
