What is alveolar polypropylene? : Uses and characteristics

in News, Projects

More and more sectors are betting on this type of polypropylene, from the world of advertising, industry and architecture, but what?what is alveolar polypropylene? From Polimer Tecnic, manufacturers in plastic materials, we want to offer a complete guide on this versatile material.

WHAT IS ALVEOLAR POLYPROPYLENE?

Alveolar polypropylene is a resistant and light material, ideal for creating packaging to protect, separate and transport goods. Its great versatility allows adaptation to multiple sectors in which the food, pharmaceutical or cosmetic sectors stand out. Easy to handle, it is suitable for the design of any type of signage and packaging, characterized by its lightness, rigidity, resistance to chemical products, resistance to weathering and its exceptional flatness. Is the ecological alternative to foamed PVCIt does not contain harmful substances, it is easily recyclable and its combustion does not generate toxic gases.

This is one of the most suitable materials for printing, in reference to its quality/price. Compared to other materials, such as methacrylate or PVC, polypropylene is a unique product in terms of value for money, which also allows its reuse. Now that you are clear about what alveolar polypropylene is, we are going to study its main characteristics:

ALVEOLAR POLYPROPYLENE: CHARACTERISTICS

    • Great resistance to fracture and tear: Alveolar polypropylene is a very resistant product that withstands strong blows and will hardly break or suffer scratches, which is why it is widely used outdoors.
    • Soundproofing and insulating characteristics: Another reason why this plastic is used in architecture is precisely because it has insulating properties and effectively dampens sound.
    • Suitable for food use: Many people in the food industry ask themselves: What is foam polypropylene? The truth is that, although it may seem surprising, this material is also common in this sector, since it does not leave toxic substances that could affect the food it protects.
    • Optimum quality/price ratio: Thanks to the characteristics of this product, it is a good alternative to foamed PVC, a more expensive material with similar characteristics.
    • easily actionable: At Polimer Tecnic we know our product very well, and for this reason we can affirm that the process of creating and manufacturing this material is much easier than with other plastic materials.
    • Good rigidity: Another characteristic of this type of polypropylene is its hardness and rigidity. It does not bend easily and can withstand great impact.
    • Resistant to water and humidity: Another characteristic of this product that makes it suitable for exteriors is precisely its resistance to humidity and rain.
    • good chemical resistance: In the industry it is common to find this plastic material as it resists possible spills of chemical products, making it a very safe material to work with.
    • Great resistance to compression: In the same way that it has good rigidity, cellular polypropylene also resists compression well.
    • Lightweight: Unlike other materials, cellular polypropylene weighs little, making it useful for a wide variety of everyday uses, from boxes, dividers and more.
    • Reusable: Today it is important that the materials we use are environmentally friendly. It is for this reason that another of the characteristics of this product is that it can be easily reused.
    •  

USES OF ALVEOLAR POLYPROPYLENE

  • Posters.
  • Protective packaging.
  • Exhibitors.
  • pallet protection
  • construction applications
  • Floor and wall panels
  • Boxes
  • Separators.
  • trade show booth walls

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ALVEOLAR AND CELLULAR POLYPROPYLENE

The main difference between alveolar and cellular polypropylene is their density and their internal structure shape.

alveolar polypropylene It is a thermoplastic polymer sheet that comes in a wide variety of colors, although it is usually used in white. It is made up of a coextruded honeycomb core that gives it rigidity. Direct printing on foamed polypropylene offers unique results. It is a material, unlike cellular, that offers great flatness and a great print finish. This base is ideal for business signs or shop signs.

El cellular polypropylene (PP, according to its abbreviation in English), is a thermoplastic polymer that is used in endless applications as an ideal product for packaging projects and the textile industry. It is an ideal material for real estate signs, signage of construction billboards or ephemeral outdoor signage, among others.

HOW IS POLYPROPYLENE PRINTED?

Alveolar polypropylene is indicated for use in posters both exteriors and interiors and the impressions can be single-sided or double-sided. A varnish can be added to the finish to add shine and protect the surface of the poster. The alveolar polypropylene allows the corona treatment that provides a higher quality of the impression.

Although the most common types are natural or white alveolar polypropylene, there is a wide variety of colors for this material, such as green alveolar.

ALVEOLAR POLYPROPYLENE FOR OUTDOORS

The resistance and versatility of this material make it a product suitable for outdoors, thanks to its interior cell design. Its inner honeycomb structure makes alveolar polypropylene very light, insulates, and at the same time is very resistant. Also, it is not easily deformed.

Now that you know: What is foam polypropylene? and you have known its uses and characteristics, we invite you to place your orders at Polimer Tecnic, a company with many years of experience working with and for professionals from all kinds of sectors and offering the best solutions for plastic materials. Contact us For a tailor-made budget for your project, we will gladly assist you.
