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)
- For Use Outdoors: No
A good all-around choice, these rods have a hard, slippery surface that won’t bind or stick to cutting tools. They’re often used to make parts for laboratory equipment because they resist swelling when exposed to water. Polypropylene has good electrical insulation properties.

Crack-Resistant Hard Plastic Tubing for Food and Beverage
- Semi-Flexible
- Compatible with Compression Tube Fittings
- Hardness:
Opaque: Hard (Durometer 65D)
Semi-Clear: Hard (Rockwell R76) - Temperature Range: 25° to 180° F
Made of durable polypropylene, this tubing won’t crack under stress—even when temperatures drop below freezing. All tubing meets strict standards for direct contact with food and beverage. It doesn’t contain plasticizers, such as DEHP, so it won’t impart taste or odors to the fluid passing through it. Semi-flexible, it’s good for gradual bends.
Semi-clear tubing gives you a limited view inside your line.
Opaque tubing blocks your view, so you can’t see inside your line.

Cleaned and Bagged High-Purity Hard Plastic Tubing
Designed for high-purity applications, this hard tubing is cleaned and bagged to prevent dirt and moisture from contaminating the inside. It is free of plasticizers like DEHP, so it won’t impart tastes or odors to the fluid running through it. Tubing is semi-flexible, so it is good for gradual bends. It is FDA compliant for contact with food.
Polypropylene tubing has better chemical resistance than PFA tubing to handle a wide variety of acids and other harsh substances. It is semi-clear, so you get a limited view inside the line.

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.
