These White 0.5mm Polypropylene Sheets are suitable for a wide range of D&T applications. These opaque sheets have a high opacity considering they are made from a relatively thin material. One surface of the sheet has a satin (very smooth) finish and the other has slightly more coarse sand emboss finish.

The 0.5mm gauge makes the sheets flexible and therefore ideal for products requiring a curved finish. They are also static treated to minimise dust attraction.

Polypropylene sheets are often used to make products such as office stationery, folders, files, covers, signs, lamps, lightings, jewellery, fashion accessories, etc.

Working with Polypropylene:

These Polypropylene sheets can be cut safely on a laser cutter (please note the edges will be slightly ‘burred’ and do not appear ‘polished’ like Perspex) and unlike PVC they do not create any chlorine gas. The sheets can also be cut using a sharp knife. You can crease the material using a cold or hot creasing technique. The resulting ‘hinges’ can be folded many times without the material breaking.

 

Features:

  • Flexible White sheets.
  • Can be printed on.
  • Laser cutter safe.
  • Suitable for a wide range of D&T applications.

Questions and answers

    What is the cut or scratch resistance of this sheet? I was thinking of using it with a vinyl cutter as the sheet I attach fabric on for precision cutting. But that wouldn't be possible if the sheet gets easily worn out when the blade travels along the surface. The pressure of the blade is variable, and more depends on what it takes to cut the fabric. so I suppose the real question is, how hard you have to press with a sharp blade to make a scratch?

    Answered by the admin Hi Mikko

    Thank you for your question, I would say it wasn't that scratch resistant. You can cut these sheets pretty easily with a sharp knife or guillotine so you would likely cut through pretty quickly.

    Answered by the admin Hi Ali,

    Thank you for your question, these sheets can be sublimated and vacuum formed so this would be your best option that we stock.

    Asked by Karin on October 23, 2018 12:00 am
    Answered by the admin Hi Karin, It sounds like you want to use a process similar to vacuum forming, if this is the case you would be better with HIPS sheets as this is what they are designed for.

    Asked by Melissa Damen on October 3, 2018 12:00 am
    Answered by the admin Hi Melissa,

    Thank you for your question, you need a sublimation printer to print onto polypropylene. This is basically a printer that applies the dyes with heat. You do need to have a printer able to perform sublimation printing and specific dyes and inks for it but you can normally easily google to find out if your printer is capable of this. Obviously polypropylene is also stiffer than paper so it would also need to be a printer capable of printing onto something like card.

    Best Regards

    Asked by Pauliina on May 21, 2018 12:00 am
    Answered by the admin Hi Pauliina, The datasheet and material datasheet for the product supplied by the manufacture state that the melting point is around 160B0C, with the Vicat softening point being around 145B0C. Unfortunately this is the only data we have regarding the material and heat.
  10. Hi I was wondering if the sheet could be used on an external wall instead of painting? How would I attach it to the wall and would it stand up to rain snow etc.? How long would it last?

    Asked by Ajay kumar on May 31, 2016 12:00 am
    Answered by the admin We don’t have any data to show how it would cope with the elements, it may become brittle or the colour may fade. Depending on the extremes in weather that the sheet would be exposed to would depend on how long the material would last. Also it would depend on how you wanted to fix it to the wall, a glue that is suitable for use outside and can be used with Polypropylene would be the most suitable option.
