Description
Polypropylene PP is a semi-crystalline material. It is deeper than PE and has a higher melting point. Since the homogeneous PP sheet becomes brittle and easy to break when the temperature is lower than 0℃, many commercial PP sheets add 1~4% ethylene raw material to improve the flexibility of the sheet.
The strength of polypropylene PP increases with the increase of ethylene content. The melting point temperature of polypropylene is 150°C. Due to the increased crystallinity, the PP sheet surface and scratch-resistance of this material are very good. PP sheet is usually used in a corrosion-resistant environment, and the PP is improved by adding glass fiber, metal additives, or thermoplastic rubber.
These plastic sheets can be used in a range of industries and applications, such as:
- Packaging: Polypropylene sheets are commonly used in packaging applications due to their durability and resistance to moisture and chemicals. They can be used for creating boxes, trays, containers, and more.
- Signage: The sheets can be used for creating durable outdoor and indoor signs, banners, and displays. They are often chosen for their weather resistance and printability.
- Construction: These sheets can be used for making temporary walls, partitions, and barriers due to their lightweight nature and ease of installation.
- Industrial: In industrial settings, these sheets can be used for various purposes including machine guards, protective covers, and components for machinery.
- Art and Craft: Artists and craft enthusiasts use polypropylene sheets for projects like stencils, templates, and other creative applications.
It’s important to note that the specific characteristics and properties of the 12mm polypropylene sheet can vary based on the manufacturer and the grade of polypropylene used. Before using the sheet in a particular application, it’s recommended to check with the manufacturer or supplier to ensure it meets the required specifications and standards for your specific use case.
