Corroplast corrugated plastic sheets

A tough yet light material is corrugated plastic, which can be easily crafter into sheets.A simple craft knife will suffice to cut through a corrugated plastic sheet.A wide variety of applications are facilitated by corrugated plastic sheets, such as large boxes for packaging, manufacturing sign boards, advertisement boards, etc.Depending upon the manufacturer, they are available in several patterns and colors to suit a wide variety of purposes.Corrugated plastic is also known as corroplast, correx, Corflute or twinplast.Apart from color and appearance, several options are also available for sheet thickness.Corrugated plastic sheets are available with thickness ranging from 2 mm to 12 mm so as to suit different application needs. Typical thickness for most sheets manufactured is 4 mm.

A property of corrugated plastic sheet is that it tends to remain inert chemically. The pH factor is typically zero.Harsh surroundings cannot mar the performance of corrugated plastic sheets.This is because at regular room temperature, water, oil or any other solvent does not seem to have any impact on the corrugated plastic sheet.Thus it can be used as a product where exposure to harsh chemicals is concerned.

Depending upon the requirements of the customer, additional solvents or materials can be added while preparing corrugated plastic sheets.This could be for color modification, or for enhancement in terms of ultra violet protection, flame protection, resistance to static charge, etc.This applies to all twin wall profile sheets for use in a wide variety of applications.To print multiple designs on the same board made up of corrugated plastic sheets, solvent based adhesion technique is used.

Apart from signboards and packaging, corrugated plastic sheets are used for making specialized cages for guinea pigs and other domestic pets.Such corrugated plastic sheets are also used by groups involved with making remote controlled airplanes. It has been proved that parts of airplanes made with such sheets are nearly indestructible in spite of having a simple design structure.Corrugated plastic sheets are used in air-to-air heat exchangers in hear recover ventilation. Such sheets are used alternating with spacer material.The concept is to pass one stream of air via the corrugated channels, while the other air stream passes between the exterior surfaces of the stacked corrugated sheets.

Corrugated plastic sheets are highly durable and hence are used for packaging material.Such sheets are ideal for environment conscious firms. Also the overall manufacturing cost of corrugated plastic sheets is not much.Polypropylene is used to manufacture corrugated plastic sheets, which is a recyclable material.
