• the polypropylene resin composition of the present invention exhibits improved sound absorption properties while maintaining excellent impact resistance and heat resistance intrinsic to the polypropylene resin.
• Polypropylene resin is a kind of multipurpose plastic which can be widely used in a variety of applications, e.g., automobile parts and electric components, because of its excellent processability, chemical resistance, weather resistance, foldability, and the like.
• Polypropylene resin is commonly used in the form of an injection-molded article, a film or a blow-molded article.
• new grades of polypropylene resins having composite functions of flame retardance, heat resistance, rigiditity, impact resistance and long-term weather resistance have appeared, a number of attempts have been made to use them in novel applications, particularly, construction and industrial materials.

These types of PVC pipes are different from each other in several points, which are price-determining factors. Since the NGl -type PNC pipes are large in thickness, heavy in weight and expensive, the NG2-type PNC pipes are predominantly used as wastewater discharge pipes.
