Eco-friendly flame-retardant PP sheets (polypropylene sheets) are thermoplastic sheets made primarily from polypropylene resin through extrusion molding. With excellent physical properties, chemical resistance, and environmental safety, these sheets are widely used across various industrial sectors.
1. Key Properties of PP Sheets
- Ausgezeichnete chemische Beständigkeit: Resistant to acids, alkalis, and a wide range of corrosive substances, making them ideal for harsh environments.
- Gute Hitzebeständigkeit: Can be used continuously in environments ranging from 90°C to 100°C without deformation.
- Hervorragende elektrische Isolierung: Outstanding insulating properties, suitable for electrical and electronic applications.
- Non-toxic and Environmentally Friendly: Food-grade material, safe for use in food packaging and storage containers.
- Hohe mechanische Festigkeit: Offers high rigidity and hardness, suitable for structural support applications.
2. Standard Specifications (Customizable)
- Dicke: 0.4mm to 60mm
- Typical Widths: 1000mm, 1300mm, 1500mm
- Länge: Fully customizable, no fixed limits
3. Molding Characteristics
- Low Moisture Absorption & Poor Flowability: As an amorphous material, PP has low moisture absorption and poor flow properties. Pre-drying is recommended to prevent bubbling.
- Gate and Mold Design: Sprue and gate systems should be short and wide; avoid dead corners. Molds require efficient cooling and chrome-plated surfaces to ensure surface quality.
- Special Equipment Required: Due to its corrosive and poor flow characteristics, specialized molding equipment and tools are advised. Additives must be selected based on specific product requirements.
- Narrow Processing Window: Easily decomposes above 200°C, especially when in contact with metals like steel and copper, releasing irritating and corrosive gases.
4. Material Advantages
- Low density
- High surface hardness and rigidity
- Excellent dimensional stability under heat
- Good chemical resistance
- Non-toxic and harmless to humans and the environment
5. Limitations
- Average impact toughness
- Moderate oxidation resistance
- Average wear resistance
- Brittle at low temperatures
- Not suitable for high-speed friction welding
- Susceptible to environmental aging if not stabilized
6. Application Fields
PP sheets are widely used in:
- Pump and valve components
- Potable water and wastewater piping systems
- Sealing components
- Chemical-resistant tanks, barrels, and containers
- Exhaust gas scrubbers for corrosive environments
- Cleanrooms, semiconductor facilities, and associated machinery
- Food processing machinery and cutting boards
- Galvanikanlagen
- Toys, dental tubing, and other precision plastic parts
These sheets are extensively applied in the chemical, mechanical, electrical, Und electronic industries as durable structural and functional materials.
