Durability & Rigidity: PP thermoforming sheets offer good mechanical strength and rigidity, ensuring formed packages maintain their shape during handling, transportation, and storage. They resist impact and bending, making them suitable for protecting fragile or heavy items.
Thermoformability: With optimal heat resistance and flexibility when heated, PP sheets can be easily molded into complex shapes (such as trays, clamshells, blisters, and containers) using thermoforming equipment. This versatility allows for customization to fit specific product sizes and design requirements.
Chemical Resistance: PP is inherently resistant to many chemicals, oils, and moisture, making these sheets ideal for packaging products that require barrier protection, such as cosmetics, detergents, or industrial parts.
Food Safety Compliance: Food-grade PP thermoforming sheets meet strict regulatory standards (e.g., FDA, EU 10/2011) for direct contact with food. They are non-toxic, odorless, and do not leach harmful substances, ensuring safety for fresh produce, snacks, ready meals, and more.
Lightweight: Compared to other rigid packaging materials like PVC or PET, PP sheets are lightweight, reducing transportation costs and minimizing environmental impact from fuel consumption.
Sustainability: PP is a recyclable material, and many PP thermoforming sheets are now made from recycled content (rPP) or designed for easy recycling, aligning with global efforts to reduce plastic waste.
