Polypropylene (PP) sheets are widely used across various industries due to their excellent chemical resistance, durability, and cost-effectiveness. Below are the major application fields:
1. Industria química
- Acid and alkali resistant tanks
- Chemical processing equipment
- Plating baths and fume hoods
PP sheets are ideal for environments requiring corrosion resistance and ease of fabrication.
2. Water and Wastewater Treatment
- Piping systems
- Wastewater storage tanks
- Ventilation ducts
Their excellent resistance to aggressive media makes PP sheets a reliable material in water treatment facilities.
3. Semiconductor and Cleanroom Equipment
- Wet benches
- Chemical delivery systems
- Enclosures and housing components
Because of their low moisture absorption and chemical stability, PP sheets are commonly used in cleanroom-compatible equipment.
4. Food and Beverage Industry
- Tablas de cortar
- Food processing machinery components
- Packaging and trays
Food-grade PP is non-toxic, odorless, and meets safety standards for direct food contact.
5. Mechanical and Industrial Applications
- Pump and valve parts
- Machine covers and guards
- Conveyor belt components
Thanks to high strength-to-weight ratio and machinability, PP sheets are ideal for custom industrial parts.
6. Automotive Industry
- Battery cases
- Interior panels
- Chemical-resistant linings
Used for lightweight, chemical-resistant automotive components.
7. Construction and Architecture
- Formwork panels
- Protective wall linings
- Moisture-resistant barriers
PP sheets provide a cost-effective alternative to plywood and metal in certain construction applications.
8. Laboratory and Medical Equipment
- Laboratory worktops
- Fume exhaust systems
- Sterile packaging
Their chemical inertness makes them perfect for controlled environments.
9. Agricultural Applications
- Animal housing partitions
- Water troughs
- Irrigation system components
Durable and weather-resistant, PP performs well in outdoor farming environments.
