Environment-friendly Performance
Made from polypropylene, they require no addition of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as formaldehyde or benzene during production, and the finished products do not release toxic gases over the long term. Complying with major international environmental standards like the EU CE and US EPA certifications, they ensure indoor air quality and human health. As thermoplastic materials, discarded PP sheets can be reprocessed into new PP products through crushing and melting, enabling material recycling, reducing construction waste generation, and imposing less long-term environmental burden due to low energy consumption in the recycling process. Additionally, the raw material extraction of polypropylene and the processing of PP sheets (e.g., extrusion molding) consume far less energy than inorganic materials like cement and stone, resulting in lower carbon emissions during production. PP sheets also possess a certain level of thermal insulation (with a thermal conductivity of approximately 0.16-0.20W/(m·K)), which can help reduce the energy consumption of building air conditioning and heating systems, thereby lowering carbon emissions during the usage phase.
Other Advantages
In general, this material offers a practical, cost-efficient solution for specific construction needs, particularly where corrosion resistance, lightweight design, and ease of handling are prioritized. Beyond environmental advantages, PP sheets offer numerous practical benefits for building partitions. With a stable molecular structure, they are non-absorbent, resistant to mold, and immune to corrosion from acids and alkalis. Compared to wooden partitions (prone to moisture and mold) and gypsum boards (easy to soften when exposed to water), they are more suitable for damp or slightly corrosive environments such as kitchens, bathrooms, and underground garages, boasting a service life of 10-15 years. With a density of only 0.9-0.91g/cm³—about half that of wood and one-eighth that of stone—their lightweight nature reduces the load on the building structure. They also feature high impact resistance and are not easily broken; no complex tools are needed during construction, as they can be directly cut, drilled, and spliced. When paired with light steel keels, they allow for quick installation, significantly shortening the construction period. The smooth and dense surface of PP sheets rarely traps dust or oil, making daily cleaning simple with just a damp cloth. They also have good scratch resistance, with minor scratches repairable via polishing. Compared to wooden partitions requiring regular repainting and fabric partitions prone to soiling, PP sheets entail lower long-term maintenance costs and offer greater convenience.
Comparison of building materials
properties | PP Sheets | Wood | Metal | Glass |
Weather Resistance | Excellent; withstands rain, UV (with stabilizers), and temperature fluctuations | Susceptible to rot, mold, and warping in moisture; requires treatment for outdoor use; vulnerable to UV damage over time | Resistant to rain and UV but may corrode in humid or chemical-exposed environments (e.g., steel rusts without coating) | Highly resistant to rain and UV but prone to shattering from extreme temperature changes |
Weight | Lightweight, reducing transportation and installation effort | Moderate weight; varies by wood type | Heavy, increasing structural load and transportation costs | Heavy, requiring strong support structures |
Chemical Resistance | Resists corrosion from common construction chemicals (cleaning agents, concrete additives) | Vulnerable to chemical damage from cleaning agents and moisture-related decay | Susceptible to corrosion from acids, salts, or harsh chemicals (unless coated) | Resistant to most chemicals but can be etched by strong acids |
Cost-Effectiveness | Low material and maintenance costs compared to alternatives | Moderate material cost; high maintenance (treatment, repairs) over time | High material and fabrication costs; maintenance costs vary by type (e.g., steel needs anti-rust treatment) | High material and installation costs; expensive to replace if damaged |
Versatility | Easily cut, welded, or bent into custom shapes | Can be cut and shaped but requires skilled craftsmanship; limited by natural grain and strength | Moldable into various forms but requires specialized equipment for cutting/welding | Can be shaped during production but difficult to modify post-installation |
Moisture Resistance | Does not rot or swell when exposed to water; suitable for damp environments | Absorbs water, leading to swelling, rot, or decay without proper sealing | Prone to rusting in moist conditions (unless galvanized or coated) | Impermeable to water but edges/seams may leak if not sealed |
