$1.25 - $1.89/kgThermoforming PP plastic sheet rolls is highly resistant to heat, making it suitable for thermoforming, as it can withstand the high temperatures required to soften the material without deforming.
Thermoforming is a widely used manufacturing process for shaping PP (Polypropylene) plastic sheet rolls into various products, especially in packaging and containers. The process involves heating PP plastic sheets until they become pliable, then forming them into specific shapes using molds, and finally cooling the material to retain its shape.
1. Cost-Effective: Thermoforming is a relatively inexpensive process compared to other plastic molding techniques, especially for large-scale production. Thermoforming PP plastic sheet rolls are economical, and their thermoforming process is quick, reducing production costs.
2. High Temperature Resistance: Thermoforming PP plastic sheet rolls is highly resistant to heat, making it suitable for thermoforming, as it can withstand the high temperatures required to soften the material without deforming.
3. Durability: PP products formed through thermoforming retain the material's natural durability, ensuring high impact resistance and long-lasting performance in applications such as food containers and industrial packaging.
4. Lightweight: Thermoforming PP plastic sheet roll is known for its lightweight properties, and thermoforming enhances this by allowing thin, durable walls, making the final products easy to handle and transport.
5. Versatility in Shapes: Thermoforming allows for a wide variety of shapes and sizes, from simple trays to complex containers and packaging solutions, making it ideal for industries ranging from food packaging to medical products.
6. Chemical Resistance: Thermoforming PP plastic sheet rolls maintains its resistance to chemicals and solvents even after thermoforming, making it ideal for packaging chemicals, cosmetics, and other sensitive products.
7. Recyclability: Thermoformed PP plastic sheet rolls are recyclable, aligning with sustainability goals. This makes it an environmentally friendly choice for manufacturers looking to reduce waste.
Thermoforming PP (Polypropylene) plastic sheet rolls are widely used across various industries due to their durability, chemical resistance, and flexibility in forming. Here are some key applications:
1. Food Packaging: Thermoforming PP plastic sheet rolls are used to produce disposable trays, containers, and lids for food packaging. Their lightweight and heat-resistant properties make them ideal for microwaveable containers.
2. Automotive Parts Packaging: These sheets are used to create interior automotive components like panels, trim, and protective casings due to their strength and ability to withstand wear and tear packaging.
3. Medical Packaging: Thermoforming PP plastic sheet rolls are used for sterile packaging in the medical industry, such as blister packs and trays for medical instruments, ensuring protection and hygiene.
4. Consumer Goods Packaging: They are used to manufacture packaging for items like electronics, toys, and household products due to their ability to be molded into precise shapes.
5. Stationery and Office Supplies Packaging: Thermoforming PP plastic sheet rolls are used in the production of binders, folders, and other office organization products because of their flexibility and aesthetic appeal packaging.
Common Applications
Food Packaging: Thermoformed PP plastic sheet rolls are used in clamshell containers, trays, and disposable cups due to its food-safe properties.
Medical Packaging: Sterile packaging for medical instruments and devices often utilizes thermoformed PP plastic.
Industrial and Consumer Goods: Custom-designed thermoformed packaging and containers are used for electronics, automotive parts, and household products.
Thermoforming PP plastic sheet rolls are favored for their versatility and cost-effectiveness in creating both rigid and flexible packaging solutions.
Melting temperature | 130°C |

1. Chemical resistance: Diluted alkalis and acids do not react with PP, which makes it an ideal container for this type of liquid.
2. Elasticity and toughness: Thermoforming PP Plastic Sheet Rolls are elastic within a certain range of deflection, and will undergo plastic deformation without cracking in the early stage of deformation, so it is usually regarded as a “tough” material.
3. Fatigue resistance: PP retains its shape after a lot of twisting and bending.
4. Insulation: PP material has high resistance and is an insulating material.
5. Transmittance: It can be made into a transparent color, but it is usually made into a natural opaque color with a certain color transmittance.
Thermoforming polypropylene (PP) plastic sheet rolls involves several key steps. Here’s a simplified overview of the process:
1. Extrusion: PP resin is melted and extruded into sheets. The thickness of these sheets can vary based on the end application.
2. Cooling: The extruded sheets are cooled and rolled up into rolls for easier handling.
3. Heating: The PP plastic sheet rolls are heated in a thermoforming machine to a temperature where they become pliable but not molten. This is typically done using infrared heaters or an oven.
4. Forming: The heated PP plastic sheet roll is then placed into a mold. The mold can be either a vacuum form or pressure form.
5. Vacuum Forming: The heated sheet is draped over the mold, and a vacuum is applied to pull the sheet tightly against the mold's surface.
6. Pressure Forming: Air pressure is used to force the heated sheet into the mold.
7. Cooling: Once the sheet has taken the shape of the mold, it is cooled to solidify the plastic. This cooling can be done using air or water.
8. Trimming: After cooling, excess plastic is trimmed away from the formed part to achieve the final shape and size.
9. Finishing: The formed parts may undergo additional finishing processes such as cutting, printing, or assembling, depending on the end use.
10. Quality Control: The finished parts are inspected for defects and to ensure they meet the specified requirements.
Thermoforming is popular for its versatility and cost-effectiveness in producing a wide range of plastic products.
