PP material power strip is an indispensable electrical accessory in daily life and work. As people pay more and more attention to electricity safety and environmental protection performance, the shell material of the power strip is also constantly optimized. Among them, polypropylene (PP) material is widely used in the new generation of power strip products. Compared with traditional common materials such as ABS and PVC, PP material has many advantages in terms of safety and durability.

1. Safety advantage
Good insulation performance
PP material itself has very excellent electrical insulation, is not easy to conduct electricity, and can effectively prevent leakage even in high humidity environments. This is especially critical for power strips that are frequently contacted or placed in humid environments (such as kitchens and bathrooms).

Higher high temperature resistance
Compared with commonly used PVC or ordinary plastics, PP material has better heat resistance and can generally withstand high temperatures above 130°C. When running for a long time with high power load (such as connecting air conditioners, microwave ovens, electric kettles and other electrical appliances), the shell of the power strip is less likely to deform, melt or cause fire due to heat accumulation. This has obvious advantages in preventing electrical safety accidents such as overheating and fire.

Good chemical corrosion resistance and strong anti-aging ability
PP has good corrosion resistance to a variety of chemical substances (such as oils, acids and alkalis, etc.), is not easy to decompose and produce toxic gases, and is environmentally friendly and safe. At the same time, PP has strong UV resistance and is not easy to age or crack due to sunlight, thereby reducing the risk of electrical failure.

2. Durability advantage
Stronger impact resistance and toughness
PP material has good toughness, and it is not easy to break or damage even if the power strip is dropped or squeezed during daily use. This feature makes the overall life of the PP power strip longer, especially suitable for environments that require frequent movement or outdoor operations.

Not easy to deform and stable structure
Due to its high crystallinity and rigidity, the PP shell is not easy to deform under high temperature or long-term load, which ensures the stability of the socket hole, helps the smoothness of plugging and unplugging, and the reliability of long-term use.

Strong wear resistance
The power strip is often subject to physical losses such as friction and plugging and unplugging during use. The surface of PP material is hard and has good wear resistance. It can maintain beauty and integrity for a long time and extend the service life of the product.

3. Comparison with other common materials
Compared with ABS material: Although ABS has high mechanical strength, its high temperature resistance is relatively weak and it is easy to soften when used in high-power equipment. PP is more stable in high temperature environment and is usually cheaper, which is suitable for large-scale production.

Compared with PVC material: PVC has good flexibility, but it is easy to release toxic gases (such as chlorine) at high temperature, which is not conducive to environmental protection and is not suitable for long-term high-temperature load use. PP is an environmentally friendly and non-toxic material that does not release harmful substances when heated, which is more in line with the health needs of modern families.

4. Application trends and consumer suggestions
With the popularization of green materials and safe electricity use concepts, PP power strips are increasingly favored by the market and consumers. Especially in long-term continuous electricity use environments such as homes, schools, and office buildings, PP power strips can more effectively balance service life, safety performance and cost control.

For consumers, when purchasing power strips, they should pay attention to whether the product shell material is flame-retardant PP, and check whether the product has passed the national CCC certification or other relevant safety tests to ensure the long-term safety of the electricity environment.

PP power strips outperform many traditional materials in terms of safety and durability. Their high insulation, heat resistance, impact resistance and environmental protection make them a more reliable choice in modern homes and offices. As electrical appliances become more popular and the intensity of electricity usage continues to increase, choosing high-quality PP power strips is not only a protection for your own equipment, but also a responsible reflection of personal safety.
