Description
These premium square tube light grey PPH plastic box sections provide a strong, rigid and corrosion-resistant solution for framing, guarding, supports and cable management. Manufactured from polypropylene homopolymer (PPH), they offer excellent mechanical strength in a lightweight profile that is easy to handle and fabricate on site.
Supplied in a convenient 50m pack of 10 x 5m lengths, these box sections are ideal for constructing frameworks, cable trunking runs, protective barriers and equipment surrounds in industrial, commercial and workshop environments. Their neutral light grey finish blends neatly into most installations while maintaining a clean, professional appearance.
Product Features
- Available in two external dimensions: 35 x 35mm and 50 x 50mm square profiles.
- Choice of wall thicknesses: 3mm or 4mm for different strength and weight requirements.
- Manufactured from robust light grey PPH (polypropylene homopolymer) for excellent rigidity and chemical resistance.
- Supplied as a 50m pack comprising 10 lengths of 5m, reducing joints over long runs.
- Smooth internal and external surfaces for tidy cable management and easy cleaning.
- Lightweight construction for simpler handling, cutting and installation compared with metal sections.
- Non-corroding and moisture-resistant, suitable for damp or chemically exposed areas.
Key Features and Benefits
- Provides a strong yet lightweight framing solution, reducing installation effort and fixing requirements.
- Long 5m lengths help minimise the number of joints, improving structural integrity and visual appearance.
- PPH material offers excellent resistance to many common chemicals, making it suitable for industrial and plant environments.
- Square profile with consistent dimensions ensures easy alignment, accurate cutting and neat assembly.
- Non-metallic construction eliminates rust and reduces maintenance in high-humidity or washdown areas.
- Neutral light grey colour gives a professional finish that integrates well with existing services and equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can these PPH box sections be cut to shorter lengths on site?
Yes, the box sections can be cut to size using standard tools suitable for plastics, such as a fine-toothed saw or appropriate power saw. Ensure straight, clean cuts and deburr the edges for the best fit and appearance.
Are the square tube box sections suitable for outdoor use?
The PPH material offers good moisture and chemical resistance, so the sections can be used outdoors in many situations. However, as with most plastics, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and weathering may affect appearance and performance over time, so local conditions should be considered.
Can fixings be drilled through the walls of the box section?
Yes, holes can be drilled through the walls to accept fixings, brackets or cable entries. Use sharp drill bits suitable for plastics, avoid excessive pressure or heat build-up, and ensure that the chosen wall thickness (3mm or 4mm) is appropriate for the load and fixing method.
