Polypropylene Sheets and Bars
Because these sheets and bars resist swelling when exposed to water, they’re often fabricated into containers and parts for laboratory equipment. Polypropylene has a hard, slippery surface that won’t bind or stick to cutting tools, plus it provides good electrical insulation.

Polypropylene Tubes
- Color: Black
- Temperature Range: Not Rated
- Tensile Strength: 4,060-4,930 psi (Poor)
- Impact Strength: 0.9-1.9 ft.-lbs./in. (Poor)
- Hardness: Rockwell R80-R90 (Hard)
- For Use Outdoors: No
- Specifications Met: ASTM D4101
With a hard, slippery surface that ensures smooth cutting, these polypropylene tubes are often fabricated into parts for laboratory equipment. They resist swelling when exposed to water, plus they’re good electrical insulators. The OD is oversized and the ID is undersized for finishing to the sizes listed.

Polypropylene U-Channels
- Color: White
- Temperature Range: 45° to 210° F
- Tensile Strength: 4,060-4,930 psi (Poor)
- Impact Strength: 0.9-1.9 ft.-lbs./in. (Poor)
- Hardness: Rockwell R80-R90 (Hard)
- For Use Outdoors: No
- Specifications Met: ASTM D4101, UL 94 HB
Often used when fabricating guide rails and parts for use in laboratories, these U-channels have a hard, slippery surface that cuts easily without binding. Polypropylene won’t swell when exposed to water and is a good electrical insulator.

Polypropylene Film
- Color: Natural
- Maximum Temperature: 200° F
- Tensile Strength: 4,000 psi (Poor)
- Impact Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Rockwell R69 (Medium)
- For Use Outdoors: Yes
- Specifications Met: FDA Compliant 21 CFR 177.1520, UL 94 HB
Package food, textiles, and other products in wet environments. This film won’t absorb or swell from water. It’s also FDA compliant, so it’s safe to directly touch food. This film keeps its shape at room temperature. When heated, it softens evenly and won’t warp, making it a good choice for heat sealing and applications that involve shaping with pressure and heat.

Polypropylene 90° Angles
- Color: Semi-Clear White
- Temperature Range: -40° to 180° F
- Tensile Strength: 5,200 psi (Good)
- Impact Strength: 1.5 ft.-lbs./in. (Poor)
- Hardness: Rockwell R110 (Hard)
- For Use Outdoors: No
- Specifications Met: ASTM D4101, FDA Compliant 21 CFR 177.1520
Fabricate guide rails and parts for use in laboratories with these 90° angles. They’re polypropylene, so they have a hard, slippery surface that won’t stick to cutting tools. They also resist swelling when exposed to water.

Flame-Retardant Polypropylene Film
- Color: Black
- Temperature Range: -40° to 200° F
- Tensile Strength: 2,500-4,400 psi (Poor)
- Impact Strength: 0.74 ft.-lbs./in. (Poor)
- Hardness: Rockwell R80 (Hard)
- For Use Outdoors: Yes
- Specifications Met: See table
In addition to meeting UL standards for flame retardance, this film is an excellent electrical insulator, so it’s widely used in semiconductor applications.
