Grey: A popular choice for industrial and engineering applications, including protective cladding, machinery components, and vehicle linings.

Contains a Small Percentage of Polyethylene

Polypropylene Copolymer (PPC) is blended with a small amount of polyethylene, improving its impact resistance and flexibility

Specific Gravity 0.91

PPC is a lightweight polypropylene material with a low specific gravity of 0.91, making it easy to handle and ideal for weight-sensitive applications.

Manufacturing Process – Extrusion

Polypropylene Copolymer (PPC) sheets are produced through an extrusion process, where molten polypropylene material is forced through a die to create sheets of precise thickness and consistent quality. This method ensures:

Uniform Thickness and Density
Enhanced Mechanical Strength
Smooth, High-Quality Surface

This process results in a lightweight, chemically resistant, and highly durable material, making PPC an excellent choice for industrial, commercial, and engineering applications.

Cut to Size Bespoke Fabrication Services

Our cut to size service allows you to purchase PPC Sheets in the exact dimensions you need, without having to buy full, manufactured sheet sizes. We don’t charge for cutting standard shapes and sizes listed on our website.

For more customised projects, we also offer bespoke fabrication services, including:

CNC Laser Cutting – For precise and intricate designs.
CNC Routing – Ideal for complex shapes and large-scale projects.
Engraving – Perfect for personalised or technical detailing.
Additional options – Such as drilled holes, rounded corners, and edge polishing for a professional finish.

Sustainability and Recycling

PPC sheets can only be recycled through specialised processes. However, its durability and extended lifespan reduce the need for frequent replacements, making it a more sustainable choice for long-term industrial applications.

We provide a fast delivery service throughout the UK using recognised Couriers such as Royal Mail, DHL, and Parcel Force.

Delivery prices are calculated based on the length of the longest side of the material ordered i.e. the delivery price of a panel measuring 1500mm x 1000mm would be based on the 1500mm dimension. Only one delivery charge is charged per order regardless of how many items are ordered.

Third-Party Deliveries

Some products are dispatched directly from the manufacturer and delivered by a third-party courier. If applicable, this is clearly stated on each Product page under the 'Delivery' tab/section.

Can I collect my order from Simply Plastics?

Yes, of course. Orders can be collected from our premises in Colchester, Essex. At the final stage of the checkout process there is a delivery option labelled "Collection/pickup" which is free. Once your order is complete, you will be notified by email along with our address and collection times.

I need my order urgently, can I pay for faster shipping?

Yes. We offer an express delivery service which aims to deliver all orders in 1-3 working days. Orders are delivered by a recognised courier company and may require a signature on delivery.

Do you have a minimum order charge or small order fee?

This is a question we are asked fairly regularly due to the previlance of either a minimum order charge or small order fee within the industry.

At Simply Plastics our approach has always been to treat all orders equally, small or large. We want all customers, new and existing, to be able to place orders with us confident that they are only paying for the products and materials that they require. We therefore do not have a minimum order charge or small order fee.

What is the difference between Polypropylene Copolymer and Polypropylene Homopolymer?

The main difference between Polypropylene Copolymer (PPC) and Polypropylene Homopolymer (PPH) lies in their chemical structure. PPH is made from a single monomer (propylene), resulting in a stiffer, stronger, and more chemically resistant material with a higher melting point. Whereas, PPC is made from 2 or more monomers (propylene and another like ethylene), which leads to increased flexibility, impact resistance, and toughness, but with a lower melting point.

Is Polypropylene waterproof?

Yes, polypropylene is generally considered waterproof. Its tightly packed structure of its molecules causes water to slide off.

Is Polypropylene easy or difficult to bond?

Polypropylene is difficult to bond because it has a low surface energy. However, it can be bonded with special adhesives and methods, such as plastic welding.
