Polypropylene Sheet

Polypropylene Sheet

Polypropylene sheet is a durable, lightweight engineering plastic known for its minimal water absorption and strong resistance to acids, alkalis, and organic solvents. Its mechanical strength, impact resilience, and thermal and electrical insulation qualities make it a preferred choice in numerous industrial applications.

Widely utilised in chemical processing as tank linings and in food production due to its FDA approval, polypropylene performs well within a service temperature range of -20°C to +80°C. It is straightforward to shape and weld, though it may become brittle below recommended temperatures.

Extended drilling or machining is discouraged because of its relatively low melting point of +160°C. We offer polypropylene sheet in two main grades: PPH (Homopolymer) and PPC (Copolymer). For purchasing details, please contact us directly.

Applications

Common uses include chemical equipment, water treatment parts, seals, insulators, ventilation ducts, pallets, drip trays, crash doors, and wall cladding. Its excellent thermal and electrical insulation, combined with resistance to many chemicals, makes it ideal for fabrication in chemical and effluent treatment facilities.

Key Features

  • Operating temperature: -20°C to +80°C (PPC)
  • Operating temperature: 0°C to +100°C (PPH)
  • Low water absorption and lightweight.
  • Resistant to dilute acids, cleaning agents, and various solvents.
  • Simple to machine, form, and weld.
  • FDA approved for food contact.

Polypropylene Homopolymer (PPH)

The homopolymer grade provides greater rigidity and chemical stability compared to the copolymer. Its ease of machining and fabrication makes it well-suited for precision parts and rollers.

Polypropylene Copolymer (PPC)

This grade provides enhanced elongation at break compared to the homopolymer variant.

Please specify any colour requirements in writing when enquiring. Black embossed polypropylene copolymer (PPC) sheets in 3mm, 4.5mm, and 6mm thicknesses are generally stocked with an embossed surface on one side and a smooth finish on the other. When cutting or forming embossed sheets, the embossed side is treated as the exterior surface unless otherwise instructed in writing and confirmed by us prior to order.
