Description
Our premium pressed and planed natural PPH sheet is a high‑quality polypropylene homopolymer sheet engineered for demanding industrial and technical environments. With excellent mechanical strength and a finely planed surface finish, it is ideal for precision fabrication, machining and welding where dimensional stability and reliability are crucial.
Combining impressive heat resistance with outstanding chemical durability, this PPH sheet is particularly suited to chemical engineering, laboratory, process plant and tank-building applications. Available in a range of thicknesses from 10 mm up to 25 mm (and additional options), each sheet is supplied in a standard 2000 mm x 1000 mm format for efficient cutting and layout.
Product Features
- Manufactured from natural polypropylene homopolymer (PPH) for high strength and rigidity.
- Pressed and planed finish for a smooth, consistent surface suitable for welding and machining.
- Available thicknesses include 10, 12, 15, 20 and 25 mm, plus further intermediate options to suit design requirements.
- Standard sheet size of 2000 mm length by 1000 mm width for convenient handling and cutting.
- Excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals, including many acids, alkalis and solvents.
- Good heat resistance, suitable for continuous service in elevated temperature environments within polypropylene limits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this PPH sheet suitable for use with aggressive chemicals?
Yes, polypropylene homopolymer offers excellent resistance to many acids, alkalis and salts, making it well suited to chemical engineering and laboratory applications. However, compatibility with specific chemicals, concentrations and temperatures should always be checked against a chemical resistance guide or with your technical adviser.
Can the PPH sheet be welded and fabricated easily?
Yes, the pressed and planed surface provides an ideal finish for hot air or extrusion welding, and the sheet can be cut, drilled and machined using standard equipment for plastics. Using the correct welding rod and parameters is important to achieve strong, reliable joints.
What thickness should I choose for my application?
The best thickness depends on the size of the component, the mechanical loads, and any internal pressure or temperature involved. Thinner sheets such as 10–12 mm may suit smaller trays and panels, while thicker options like 20–25 mm are typically used for larger tanks, structural parts or areas subject to higher stress.
