What is corrugated plastic

Corrugated plastic is a product of polypropylene plastic sheet. This product is used to manufacture a wide range of products for consumer and industrial markets. It has many of the same properties as corrugated fiberboard, is light weight, easy to work with and tough.

This material is widely used to make reusable plastic containers, packaging and commercial signs. Corrugated plastic is the packaging material of choice for automotive parts, agricultural products and electronic components. The material is reusable, washable and forms strong boxes.

Corrugated is a term used to describe a type of packaging material. There are two layers in corrugated packaging and both layers are made of the same material. The top layer is flat and the second layer is fluted or ribbed in a tight wave pattern. The two layers are glued together and this combination of layers results in a stronger material.

During the manufacturing process, corrugated plastic sheets can be modified through the use of additives to provide enhanced ultraviolet protection, flame retardant, anti static benefits. A separate set of additives can also inhibit corrosion and provide a wide range of other properties to the material. From an aesthetic point of view, the material can absorb different colors and patterns as needed. This process helps identify and brand corrugated plastic boxes, eliminating the need for additional labels.
