Polypropylene Copolymer Sheet (PPC) is a low-density, durable material with excellent impact and chemical resistance. Weldable and stable at varied temperatures. Available in natural, black, white, beige, and grey.
Why choose Polypropylene Copolymer?
Polypropylene Copolymer Sheet (PPC) is a highly versatile and durable material, widely used across engineering, industrial, and commercial applications. Its lightweight properties, chemical resistance, and ease of fabrication make it a reliable choice for a variety of industries.
Key Features and Benefits
- Excellent Impact Strength: PPC offers high impact resistance, ensuring durability in industrial, engineering, and protective applications.
- Lightweight and Weldable: As a low-density polypropylene sheet, PPC is easy to handle, transport, and weld for custom fabrication.
- Low Moisture Absorption: Polypropylene material resists water absorption, preventing swelling or warping in humid and wet environments.
- Excellent Chemical Resistance: PPC provides outstanding resistance to chemicals, acids, and solvents, making it ideal for industrial and chemical processing applications.
- Wide Temperature Range: With excellent thermal stability, polypropylene sheets perform well in both high and low-temperature environments.
- Food-Safe Compliance: Compliant with food safety agency (FSA) standards and European Union (EU) regulations, suitable for food-related applications.
Typical Applications
- Chemical Tanks: PPC is highly resistant to chemicals, making it ideal for manufacturing durable, corrosion-resistant chemical storage tanks.
- Protective Cladding: Lightweight and impact-resistant, polypropylene sheets provide protective cladding in industrial and commercial environments.
- Advertising & Signage: Polypropylene plastic is a versatile, weather-resistant material used for outdoor signage, advertising boards, and display panels.
- Packaging: PPC’s durability and low moisture absorption make it perfect for reusable packaging, storage containers, and transport solutions.
- Dairy Boards (Parlour Boards): Food-compliant polypropylene sheets are widely used in dairy farms for hygienic, easy-to-clean parlour boards.
- Vehicle Linings: PPC’s lightweight and high-impact strength make it ideal for vehicle linings, protecting interiors from wear and damage.
- Prosthetics & Orthotics: With its excellent strength and flexibility, polypropylene material is commonly used in medical applications like prosthetics and orthotic supports.
- Agricultural Feeders: Polypropylene sheets are durable, chemical-resistant, and easy to clean, making them ideal for agricultural feeding systems.
Colours and Applications
- Natural: A versatile, food-compliant polypropylene material used in dairy boards, chemical tanks, and medical applications like prosthetics and orthotics.
- Black: Offers enhanced UV resistance, making it ideal for outdoor applications, protective cladding, and industrial vehicle linings.
- White: Commonly used in signage, advertising, and packaging due to its clean appearance and excellent printability.
- Beige: Aesthetic and durable, suitable for agricultural feeders, chemical processing, and interior applications requiring a neutral finish.
- 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.

Where we deliver
We currently deliver to the United States and Canada.
How delivery is priced
Delivery is priced by the size and weight of your panel, based on the band your order falls into:
| Panel size (up to) | Weight (up to) | Delivery |
|---|---|---|
| 500mm × 500mm | 10kg | $59 |
| 750mm × 750mm | 15kg | $79 |
| 1000mm × 1000mm | 25kg | $109 |
Orders that exceed the weight allowance for their band are charged $2.50 per additional kg.
Delivery times
Delivery is by air and takes 5–7 working days.
Customs, import taxes and duties
Our checkout meets US and Canadian customs and import requirements in full, so there are no surprises once your order ships. All orders are sent Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) — we collect and pay all import taxes and duties on your behalf, so your order arrives at your door with nothing more to pay.
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.
