Description
Beige Polypropylene Homopolymer (PPH) Sheet is a rigid, lightweight engineering plastic offering high stiffness, excellent chemical resistance, and strong performance at elevated temperatures up to +100°C. Its neutral beige finish, very low moisture absorption (less than 0.1%), and dual FDA and EU food contact approval make it a popular choice for food processing, hygienic environments, and fabrication work where a light, clean colour is required.
PPH is stiffer and stronger than copolymer polypropylene, with a higher tensile strength and greater rigidity, making it the preferred choice where structural performance and dimensional stability matter most. It is easily welded, machined, and fabricated to suit bespoke applications.
PPH or PPC — Which Should You Choose?
Choose PPH if you need higher rigidity, greater tensile strength, or performance at temperatures up to +100°C. Choose PPC if your application involves impact loading, lower temperatures, or you need greater flexibility and toughness. Both are food contact approved and chemically resistant — the right choice comes down to whether stiffness or impact toughness matters more for your application.
Available in Beige and Natural, cut from 2000 x 1000mm parent sheets.
Important: Engineering plastics are supplied as semi-finished materials and usually have no protective film. Light marks or scratches are normal and do not affect performance.

Food Processing & Preparation — FDA and EU food contact approved with a neutral beige finish that makes contamination easy to spot, ideal for food preparation surfaces, cutting boards, and processing equipment.
Hygienic Wall Cladding — Impermeable to moisture and easy to clean, widely used in food production facilities, commercial kitchens, hospitals, and care homes where a light finish is preferred.
Chemical Tanks & Storage — High chemical resistance and rigidity make Beige PPH ideal for tank linings, chemical processing equipment, and fluid containment systems.
Pumps, Valves & Gaskets — High stiffness and temperature resistance up to +100°C make PPH well suited to precision engineered components in fluid handling systems.
Industrial Fabrication — Easily welded and machined, Beige PPH sheet is a practical choice for structural panels, enclosures, and custom fabricated parts where a light colour finish is specified.
