  • High temperature resistance (up to 100°C)
  • Good flexibility
  • Strong fatigue resistance
• Common Applications:
  • Water tank linings
  • Laboratory countertops
  • Logistics turnover boxes
• Advantages:
  • Weldable and easy to clean
  • Suitable for long-term repeated use

Choosing the right plastic sheet depends on several factors, including the specific properties required for your project. Here’s a breakdown of the key considerations for selecting between PET, PVC, and PP:

1. Material Properties

• PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate):

  • Transparency: PET is known for its high clarity, making it ideal for applications that require transparency, such as food packaging and protective covers.
  • Durability: It is highly scratch-resistant and resistant to chemical corrosion.
  • Environmental Impact: PET is recyclable and environmentally friendly, making it a good choice for sustainability-conscious projects.

• PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride):

  • Chemical Resistance: PVC is highly resistant to acids, alkalis, and other chemicals, making it suitable for use in harsh environments like chemical storage or industrial applications.
  • Versatility: Available in both flexible and rigid forms, PVC can be customized for a wide range of applications, including signage, partitions, and electrical insulation.
  • Cost-Effective: PVC is generally more affordable, making it a great option for budget-conscious projects.

• PP (Polypropylene):

  • Temperature Resistance: PP can withstand high temperatures up to 100°C, making it suitable for applications involving heat or elevated temperatures.
  • Flexibility: PP offers excellent flexibility and fatigue resistance, making it ideal for applications that require repeated bending or movement.
  • Weldability: PP can be easily welded, making it a good choice for projects that require joining multiple pieces.

2. Functional Considerations

• Impact Resistance:
  • PVC and PP both offer good impact resistance, but PP is especially durable for applications requiring long-term, repeated use, such as storage containers or laboratory countertops.
• UV Resistance:
  • PET offers excellent UV resistance, making it perfect for outdoor applications such as signage or displays exposed to sunlight.
• Flame Retardance:
  • PVC can be flame-retardant in certain grades, making it ideal for applications requiring fire resistance, such as electrical insulation or construction materials.

3. Application-Specific Needs

• PET is ideal for projects that require high transparency and a sleek, polished appearance, such as food packaging, electronic covers, and medical trays.
• PVC is perfect for industrial, chemical, and construction applications, including tank linings, partitions, and display boards. It is also highly customizable in color and hardness.
• PP is best for applications requiring heat resistance, flexibility, and fatigue resistance, such as laboratory countertops, water tank linings, and logistics boxes.

4. Cost and Budget

• PVC is generally the most cost-effective option, making it a great choice for projects that prioritize affordability without compromising on quality.
• PET and PP may be more expensive, but they offer enhanced properties such as greater transparency (PET) and better temperature resistance (PP), making them suitable for more specialized or demanding applications.

Proper care ensures longevity for your plastic sheets. Below are material-specific guidelines for PET, PVC, and PP:

Cleaning Instructions

1. PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate)

   • Do:

     • Wipe with a soft microfiber cloth dampened with mild soapy water (e.g., dish soap diluted in warm water).

     • For stubborn stains, use isopropyl alcohol (70% or less) sparingly.

   • Avoid:

     • Acetone, ammonia-based cleaners, or abrasive pads (risk of clouding or scratching).

2. PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)

   • Do:

     • Clean with a neutral pH detergent (e.g., hand soap) and lukewarm water.

     • Rinse thoroughly to prevent residue buildup.

   • Avoid:

     • Bleach, solvents, or scouring sponges (may degrade the surface).

3. PP (Polypropylene)

   • Do:

     • Use a mixture of water and white vinegar (1:1 ratio) for grease or dirt.

     • Dry immediately with a lint-free cloth.

   • Avoid:

     • High-temperature steam cleaning (may warp the sheet).

Maintenance Tips

• Storage:

  • Keep sheets flat or vertically supported to prevent warping.

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight (UV exposure can discolor PET and PP over time).

• Temperature:

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures above:

    • PET: 70°C (158°F)

    • PVC: 60°C (140°F)

    • PP: 100°C (212°F)

Quick Reference Table

Plastic sheets vary significantly in thermal and mechanical performance depending on the material. Below are key specifications for PET, PVC, and PP:
