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.

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.
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.
Flame-Retardant Polypropylene Sheets
- Color: White
