Frequently
Asked Questions
What is polypropylene?
Polypropylene is a material with excellent mechanical, physical and chemical properties.
Some of the most significant properties of polypropylene are:
Chemical Resistance: Diluted bases and acids don’t react readily with polypropylene
Elasticity and Toughness: Polypropylene will act with elasticity over a certain range of deflection (like all materials), but it will also experience plastic deformation early on in the deformation process, so it is generally considered a “tough” material. Toughness is an engineering term which is defined as a material’s ability to deform (plastically, not elastically) without breaking..
Fatigue Resistance: Polypropylene retains its shape after a lot of torsion, bending, and/or flexing.
Insulation: polypropylene has a very high resistance to electricity.
Is there an alternative to Polycrete drains?
Yes, SABdrain drainage systems are an alternative supplier for drainage solutions. SABdrain utilises polypropylene channels over polymer. Polypropylene is a thermoplastic polymer that offers numerous benefits, including high chemical resistance, durability, and flexibility. These qualities make it an ideal choice for drain channel applications in various industries, such as food processing, automotive, and pharmaceutical.
One of the key advantages of polypropylene trench drain channels is their ability to withstand harsh chemicals commonly found in industrial environments. This resistance to corrosion ensures a longer lifespan for the drainage system, reducing maintenance costs and downtime. Additionally, polypropylene channels are lightweight and easy to handle during installation, making the process more efficient and cost-effective.
What are SABdrain drains made of?
SABdrain channels are manufactured from polypropylene. Grates are available in a range of materials.
Does SABdrain only supply trench drain?
SABdrain Australasia has a wide range of stormwater drainage solutions and architectural products such as breeze blocks. We are proud to offer niche or custom drainage solutions for projects, as well as other solutions such as cable troughs.
