    Introduction to Common Plastic Sheets: PP, PE, and ABS Sheets

    2025-05-19

    share:

    PP, PE, and ABS sheets are widely used thermoplastic materials across industries such as chemical processing, electronics, machinery, packaging, and environmental protection. Here's a detailed breakdown:


    1. PP Sheets (Polypropylene Sheets)

    1.1 Pure PP Sheets

    • Features: Low density, high chemical resistance, heat resistance, hygienic
    • Available Options: Can be filled, flame-retardant treated, embossed, or matte finished
    • Applications: Chemical anti-corrosion equipment, water treatment systems, food processing machinery, environmental protection projects

    1.2 Modified PP Sheets (Calcium-Filled)

    • Advantages: Improved dimensional stability, rigidity, and heat resistance; lower cost
    • Ideal For: Budget-conscious structural applications requiring moderate performance

    1.3 Reinforced PP Sheets (Glass-Fiber Reinforced)

    • Reinforcement: 20% glass fiber
    • Performance Gains: Twice the strength and rigidity compared to pure PP; excellent thermal resistance, low-temperature impact resistance, corrosion resistance, and arc resistance; low shrinkage
    • Recommended Use: High-strength, high-durability components in corrosive or thermally demanding environments

    Specifications:

    • Thickness: 2–12mm (Max width: 1500mm)
    • Thickness: 12–30mm (Max width: 1300mm)
    • Thickness: 30–50mm (Max width: 1000mm)
    • Length: Customizable

    2. PE Sheets (Polyethylene Sheets) – HDPE & LDPE

    2.1 Material Types

    • HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene): High rigidity, strength, and melting point; suitable for blow molding, injection molding
    • LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene): Soft, flexible, low strength and melting point; ideal for films, cable insulation

    2.2 Key Features

    • High toughness, tensile strength, and wear resistance
    • Chemical resistance to acids and alkalis
    • Can be modified, flame-retardant treated, embossed, or matte finished

    2.3 Applications

    • Chemical containers, food processing surfaces, protective packaging, textile aids, anti-corrosion liners, mechanical buffers

    Specifications:

    • Thickness: 1–40mm
    • Max Width: 1300mm
    • Length: Customizable

    3. ABS Sheets (Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene)

    Features

    • Smooth surface, attractive colors, and excellent comprehensive mechanical properties
    • Highly processable: easy to cut, bond, thermoform, and print
    • Can be flame-retardant, reinforced, embossed, or matte finished

    Applications

    • Appliance housings, electronics enclosures, automotive interior parts, toy components, industrial packaging

    Specifications:

    • Thickness: 1–10mm
    • Width & Length: Customizable
