Need polypropylene equvalent for testing

Need polypropylene equvalent for testing

Need polypropylene equvalent for testing

(OP)
Hi all,

I am working on an extraction setup for a polypropylene reactor.  I am not able to duplicate the reactor conditions for my test setup and I was wondering if there was something that I could use that would mimic how the polypropylene will behave when flowing through a piping system.

Basically I need to flow some amount of sample through a series of tees, elbows, and a reducer.  I am looking for the sample to collect at the reducer to see how well it will trap the sample.  From there I need to determine whether or not the carrier gas will be able to flow through the collected sample or if the line will dead-head and stop flow altogether.

I am looking for something that is somewhat readily available and has similar characteristics of the polypropylene coming out of the reactor at 80 deg. C and 20 bar.

Any help is very appreciated.
Thank you,

Jason

Closest to pp is polyethylene - cheap and readily available
