Polypropylene lining is a versatile plastic polymer used in packaging, signage, and protective applications. It is lightweight, strong, and effective against liquids and chemicals. Polypropylene sheets can be customized for each customer and recycled. It is also used for painters cloths, mattress protection, and drop cloths.
Polypropylene lining is a non-woven plastic polymer fabric used in a wide variety of packaging, promotional and protective applications. Lightweight and strong polypropylene material is used to make extruded and thermoformed plastic items. Compressing the polymer into thin sheets creates an effective and cost-effective shield against most liquids and chemicals. Many disposable diaper companies use polypropylene sheeting to form a final barrier against moisture leakage. Polypropylene sheets can often be recycled into new plastic materials.
The strength and durability of polypropylene sheets make it an ideal material for packaging. A sealed polypropylene package typically protects the quality of its contents from factory to consumer. Large sheets of thermoplastic polymer are heat sealed in pouches and tube packs. Starting with polypropylene sheets, the package manufacturer can customize the package size and shape for each customer. You can use clear, colored or printed sheets to accent the contents of the sealed package.
Sections of cut polypropylene sheets are often sandwiched together with a corrugated backing board in between to increase stiffness. Thicker corrugated polypropylene sheets are widely used to create low cost promotional signage. Graphics and text are typically printed directly onto the plastic surface on one or both sides of the sign. Signs made with polypropylene sheets are able to withstand extreme heat and cold in the harshest environments.
Some painters cloths are made or lined with polypropylene sheeting. A drip cloth is a sheet used to protect valuable surfaces while applying paint to a nearby surface. Coated drip fabric varieties often have cotton or another fabric in the center for added strength. Cloths made only of propylene are usually clear or opaque and less expensive than cloth varieties. All types of polypropylene drop cloths are designed to be folded to be reused on another project once the splattered paint dries.
Stains and damage to the mattress can be completely avoided once the Styrofoam sheeting covers all exposed sides. Polypropylene groundsheets are widely used to protect mattresses from sleepers with bladder control issues. After an accident, sheets and blankets can be removed for washing and replaced after the plastic sheeting has been disinfected. Protective plastic sheets may have elastic strips attached all around or at the corners to hold the styrofoam cover on the bed. Sharp, pointed objects such as pencils and pens penetrate polypropylene sheets with very little force.
