Can PP flame - retardant masterbatch be used on corrugated pipes?
The conventional electrical piping process mainly refers to the piping of steel pipes and rigid plastic pipes. The structures of these two types of pipes determine that they have certain strength but lack flexibility, which brings inconvenience to construction in some occasions. Especially when constructing in the interlayer of decorative suspended ceilings, the piping of steel pipes and rigid plastic pipes can hardly meet the requirements of architectural decoration projects, and the construction is rather difficult.
However, plastic corrugated pipes possess good flexibility, with an appearance similar to that of a snake-skin pipe. Meanwhile, they have characteristics such as voltage resistance and impact resistance. They are especially suitable for use as wire protection pipes in electrical piping, featuring convenient construction, fast progress, high work efficiency and reduced labor intensity. From an economic point of view, plastic corrugated pipes are of good quality and low price, and can reduce the project cost.
With the promotion of corrugated pipes in the electrical industry, the demand for the flame retardancy of corrugated pipes has also emerged. Some customers have consulted Jinwei Nanomi about whether PP flame-retardant masterbatches can be added into corrugated pipes. The answer is yes. Generally, corrugated pipes are relatively thin in thickness. Using PP flame-retardant masterbatches not only achieves good flame-retardant effects with a low addition amount, but also has a low content of halogen-based flame retardants, less smoke emission, and better meets the requirements of safety and environmental protection.
