Polypropylene Sheets 

have a polar structure that possesses a very high molecular mass. This makes Polypropylene PP Sheet highly resistant to chemicals and to aqueous solutions of salts, acids, and alkalis. 

Polypropylene homopolymers have a high level of stiffness and toughness at room temperature. This together with the Polypropylene sheet capacity to repel water makes them a good choice for mechanical and structural applications.

Advantages of the Polypropylene Sheets: 
Polypropylene Sheet properties ensure that this material is a hard, stiff, easily workable material with excellent toughness. It's available in different thicknesses and formats, as well as in tubes, rods, and other forms. 

Polypropylene Sheet is an easily weldable thermoplastic that makes it ideal for tanks, fittings, and vessels for the mineral processing, mining, and galvanizing industries.

Key Features and Benefits of the PP / Polypropylene Sheets :

• Very high chemical resistance
• Excellent impact resistance
• Higher scratch resistance than HDPE
• Thermoformable
• Excellent moisture resistance
• Food grade

Applications of the Polypropylene Sheets:

• Food or corrosive storage vessels
• Cooling or scrubbing towers
• Pump bodies and components
• Wall cladding
• Plating tanks and hoods
• Bench tops, etc.
