| (Q):
What is CPP? (A): Copolymer
Polypropylene (CPP) is a make up of 97% Polypropylene and 3% Polyethylene. |
| (Q): Why does APR use
CPP instead of PP (Polypropylene)? (A):
Because CPP has 10 times the impact resistance as compared to Polypropylene. |
| (Q): How High a
temperature can CPP take? (A): CPP
is rated up to 170F, but we also carry Röchling Grey CPP that is rated up to 215°F, and
Röchling Grey PP rated up to 225°F. |
| (Q): I heard that
Grey CPP will leach out in a electroless nickel bath. Is this true? (A): This is not true of the Röchling Grey CPP and PP materials
that we use. The resins were designed and made in Germany. We cannot say this is true for
American made high-temp materials. |
| (Q): What is this DVS
standard I've been hearing about? (A):
DVS (German Welding Society) is similar to the AWS (American Welding
Society) here in the United States. The AWS has not yet accepted standards for the
processes of plastic welding and structural support of plastic products. Our
president (Mark Allen) is on the committee with members of AWS and others across the
country to create accepted standards for plastic welding. |
| (Q): How can APR
possibly warranty a plastic tank for Ten (10) years? (A): We have interpreted the German plastic welding and support structure
standards (DVS) and applied them to our design and manufacturing principles. Every aspect
of design and fabrication, including service life, can be accurately predicted using the
DVS standards. |
| (Q): How do you spell
the name Fill Phalls? (the General Manager of APR). (A): Phillip K.
