What is Transparent PP Sheet for Thermoforming?
Transparent PP sheet (Polypropylene) is a thermoplastic polymer sheet manufactured via extrusion. It is widely used in vacuum forming / thermoforming to create various types of rigid plastic food containers due to its:
- Food-grade purity
- Excellent formability
- Light weight
- Heat and impact resistance
- Chemical stability
- Recyclability
Key Product Features
✅ Food Grade & BPA-Free
Our PP sheets are made from 100% virgin polypropylene resins, fully compliant with FDA, EU food contact, and GB standards. Safe for direct contact with hot or cold food.
✅ Excellent Thermoforming Performance
Designed for deep-draw vacuum forming and pressure forming. It maintains uniform wall thickness, dimensional stability, and crisp edge definition.
✅ Crystal-Clear Transparency
Though PP is not as crystal-clear as PET, we optimize formulation and processing to achieve high clarity, suitable for showcasing fresh food contents.
✅ Microwave & Hot-Fill Tolerance
PP sheets resist temperatures up to 110–130°C, making them suitable for microwaveable containers, hot food trays, and high-temperature sealing applications.
✅ Chemical & Fat Resistance
Ideal for packaging greasy, acidic, or moist foods—PP resists oils, sauces, and cleaning agents, ensuring hygiene and shelf stability.
✅ Environmental & Cost Advantages
- Fully recyclable
- Lightweight to reduce shipping costs
- Lower raw material cost than PET or CPET
Typical Applications of Transparent PP Sheet
Our transparent PP sheet is specifically used to produce:
- Disposable food trays for meat, vegetables, fruits
- Microwaveable meal trays
- Takeaway containers and lunch boxes
- Dairy containers (e.g. yogurt tubs)
- Bakery and pastry packaging
- Blister packaging for dry goods
This material is widely adopted in supermarkets, food factories, catering chains, airline meal packaging, and food delivery businesses.
