A customer received a product image and asked us if we make corrugated plastic sheet clear. How should we respond to the customer’s question? First, we need to know the purpose for which you are purchasing this product.
There are many types of plastics, and the different material properties determine the different uses of the products.
Clear corrugated plastic sheets are available in both PC and PP materials. Due to the different physical properties of the two materials, the applications of the products are different.
What PC material clear corrugated plastic sheets are? t is a plastic panel with a wave-like pattern, similar to cardboard, that allows light to pass through. Made from materials like polycarbonate or polypropylene, it is strong, lightweight, and impact-resistant. Clear corrugated plastic is used for applications where durability and light transmission are important, such as greenhouses, roofing panels, signage, and temporary walls.
What PP corrugated plastic sheet clear is used for. A clear PP corrugated plastic sheet is a lightweight, durable, and waterproof sheet made of polypropylene with a hollow corrugated structure.It is allows for light transmission and thermal insulation. Making it ideal for clear signage, roofing, greenhouses, and reusable packaging. Also known as Coroplast, it is rigid, impact-resistant, UV-resistant (with a coating), and can be cut, shaped, and printed on, offering a cost-effective and versatile alternative to glass or cardboard.
Xinsu supply different specification pp corrugated plastic sheet. Depending on the application, UV components can be added to the product material to increase its service life. UV additives in clear corrugated plastic sheets play a crucial role. In preserving long-term clarity by protecting the material from ultraviolet (UV) light damage. These UV stabilizers or inhibitors absorb and dissipate harmful UV radiation, which otherwise causes the plastic to degrade, yellow, become brittle, and lose optical clarity over time.
How to test supplied sheets to confirm their UV additive performance in corrugated plastic sheet clear?
Accelerated UV Weathering Test (QUV Test):
Samples are placed in a QUV test chamber equipped with UVA and UVB lamps to simulate prolonged sunlight exposure in a short time. The test evaluates changes in color (yellowing), light transmission, impact resistance, and mechanical strength after exposure equivalent to several years outdoors. A high-quality UV additive will result in minimal color change and maintain clarity after many hours of testing (e.g., 480 hours simulates 8 years).
Standards-Based Testing:
Conduct tests following ASTM standards like ASTM D4329 (fluorescent UV exposure), ASTM G154 (fluorescent UV lamp exposure), or ISO 4892 series for laboratory exposure tests on plastics, which provide protocols for evaluating UV resistance.
How to choice a good material of corrugated plastic sheet for your project ?
Choosing a good material of corrugated plastic sheets for a project depends on several factors including the intended application, environment, budget, and desired sheet properties such as strength, flexibility, and clarity.
When selecting corrugated plastic sheets, the right choice depends on your project’s needs. Here are the key points to consider:
Thickness & Strength
- Light-duty projects (like signage or packaging) usually need 2–4mm.
- Heavy-duty applications (like construction, flooring, boxes, partitions) need 5–12mm.
Material Quality
- 100% virgin polypropylene (PP) is stronger, smoother, and lasts longer.
- Recycled PP is cheaper but may have rougher surfaces and lower durability.
Weather & UV Resistance
- For outdoor use, always choose UV-protected sheets to prevent fading, brittleness, or cracking.
Color & Transparency
- Bright colors help with branding or visibility.
- Clear or translucent sheets are best when light transmission is needed.
Surface Treatment
- For printing or labeling, select sheets with corona treatment to improve ink adhesion.
Customization Options
- Consider whether you need anti-static, flame-retardant, or waterproof performance depending on your project.
