Polypropylene perfromance
Polypropylene perfromance
(OP)
Forum folks,
I am after some perfomance information for polypropylene material used in the construction industry.
I want to use PP (netting) for reinforcing/ stablising roads and embankments and synthetic fibres in concrete etc but the client wants a design life / prediction for how long the material will last in these environments.
Are there any industry links / research papers out there that have tested PP in different environments and been able to prove up say a design life of 50 years +.
The manufacturers all seem to be rather short on info.
Thanks for you help!
