Propylux™ Family
Propylux™ DS
Propylux™ DS is compression molded polypropylene sheet. Made using a specialty homopolymer resin, its broad chemical resistance, low moisture absorption, hydrolysis resistance, and toughness make it a good choice for fabricated components that require a good balance of mechanical properties that see use in harsh chemical environments. Propylux™ DS is made using a unique manufacturing process that stress-relieves the material, improves the dimensional stability, and enables the material to be fabricated into complex shapes where tight tolerances and good dimensional stability are critical.
