Polypropylene Sheet
Copolymer Polypropylene sheet is a versatile polymer used in a variety applications requiring chemical, corrosion, and impact resistance with a high strength to weight ratio. Polypropylene will not absorb moisture, is easy to form and meets FDA and USDA guidelines. This versatile combination of physical properties make polypropylene a common solution for many industrial applications.
Polypropylene has high dimensional stability and is easily machined, formed, or welded without losing its acid and abrasion resistance.
