Polypropylene Copolymer (PP-C) Plastic Sheet Info
Polypropylene Copolymer (PP-C) has excellent chemical, corrosion, and stain resistance, is lightweight and easy to fabricate. It is a high impact, scratch-resistant material that provides excellent performance in corrosive environments. Copolymer polypropylene is the most versatile polypropylene material. It is softer than homopolymer but more durable with lower temperature toughness.
Due to its high impact strength, even at low temperatures, PP-C is the material of choice for numerous applications. During fabrication and machining, PP-C maintains exceptional flatness and dimensional stability for high production yields and finished part quality. The material is also easy to weld and thermoform.
