These 0.8mm 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. On the translucent products the sheet has one surface with a gloss finish and the other side has a high gloss finish, on the remaining coloured sheets one surface of the sheet has a fine sand finish and the other has a sand finish.

The 0.8mm 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 opaque sheets.
  • Can be printed on.
  • Laser cutter safe.
  • Suitable for a wide range of D&T applications.

    Answered by the admin Hi Scott,

    Thank you for you question, it is slightly hard to advise on that I am afraid. Polypropylene is not conductive but can respond to heat and we have not tested it with 480V so hard for me to advise.

  8. Hello, I am wondering if the fine sanded sides of these sheets are smooth enough to serve as a semi-dry erase board. That is, I know it won't be perfect as a dry erase, so I'll have acetone and/or glass cleaner handy to erase smudges. I am interested in the aqua blue specifically. Also, the color of the sheet in the accompanying pictures and videos does not appear to be aqua blue per se. At least as defined by internet images. Are the images and video still up to date regarding the color of this product?Thank you!

    Answered by the admin Hi Kenechukwu

    Thank you for your questions, I have trialled with some of our board markers on some scrap pieces of polypropylene and with a little acetone and wipes the board pens I used came off quite easily so I think that should work.

    As ever there is always a slight disconnect in colour of items on a screen compared to real life those sheets reasonably match that. I believe we titled it as Aqua blue to try and differentiate it obviously from our 0.5mm Dark Blue Sheet to try and flag it was a different colour to customers.

    Asked by Terry on March 29, 2019 12:00 am
    Answered by the admin Hi Terry,

    Thank you for your question, I am afraid we have not tested this sheet with Epoxy resin so I would recommend testing a small piece first. However, based on what I know of these sheets and epoxy this should work but would still recommend testing first.

    Answered by the admin Hi Ivy, I have been in touch with the suppliers and unfortunately they do not have any information regarding the material and its properties when graphite. As such it would be a case of testing this to see if it would be suitable for your intended use. Sorry we don't have any further information.

    Asked by ValentinaD on May 8, 2017 12:00 am
    Answered by the admin Hi, you should be able to print on either side of the material, so yes it could be double sided. However it is unlikely to work in a normal laser printer. The recommended printing methods are Offset Printer, Screen Printing or Sublimation Printing.

    Asked by Rhona Davies on January 31, 2017 12:00 am
    Answered by the admin Hi Rhona, The product was original stated as a clear material, however after an issue with the material we discovered that the material isn’t guaranteed to be completely clear, as such this product was altered to reflect this updated information. As such this is the same product that was previously listed as clear, the change now better suits the product we stock.

    Asked by Carmen Nevin on September 15, 2016 12:00 am
    Answered by the admin Hi Carmen, the polypropylene can be folded using a Cold and hot creasing technique, depending on the thickness. It should be fairly rigid so should be able to take a small amount of weight. It would be worth testing it first to make sure what its maximum load is.

    Q Is there a good glue that sticks to this coated polypropylene sheet?
    Asked by Steve Fox on May 6, 2016 12:00 am
    Answered by the admin We don’t have a particular glue that we recommended for this product, however you would need to ensure it is safe to use with polypropylene, the datasheet states, ‘ViPrint can be glued with PUR glue or hot melt, although welding is the preferred option’.
  32. Hi, I need a rain proof flexible transparent cover for a lean to greenhouse that does not go yellow with age or turn frosted in the elements. It is a bendy metal roof structure which provides the base for the sheets. How do I fix the sheets to such a structure? Is it easy to drill holes for tying through where necessary? This will be approx 9 of the biggest sized sheets to be overlapped and fixed. Thanks.

    Asked by Margaret Wrightson on April 15, 2016 12:00 am
    Answered by the admin I don’t believe this product would turn yellow or frosted with the elements although the full effects of prolonged expose isn’t known. Also we don’t know of a direct method of fixing the sheets to a metal roof, although if you wanted to use an adhesive you would need to ensure this is safe to use on polypropylene. You are able to drill the material very easily.

    Asked by Andre Els on January 30, 2015 12:00 am
    Answered by the admin Yes it is possible to laser etch, however depending on the power and speed you set the laser cutter to, depends on the outcome. After a few trial runs we have worked out a lower power and lower speed option is best, 20% power and 25 speed give a nice outcome on the product.
