If you spend time in chemical plants, plating rooms, or clean manufacturing, you’ve seen textured PP wall liners and machine guards. The textured surface is more than cosmetic—it grips, hides scuffs, and cleans easier. Lida’s PP Fibre Masked Sheet has been gaining traction lately, to be honest, because it balances ruggedness with cost. Also worth noting: it ships cut-to-size from No.316 Pingan West Street, Shunping County, Baoding City, Hebei, China 072250, which helps projects move faster.
Industry conversations (and a few procurement chats over coffee) point to three drivers: chemical resistance over FRP in splash zones, lighter weight panels for faster installs, and compliance documentation ready-to-send. Surprisingly, textured PP is winning out in battery rooms and wash-down corridors where slip-resistant handling and easy wipe-downs matter.
| Thickness | 3–30 mm | Width | 1000–1500 mm |
| Length | Any length (cut-to-size service) | Surface | Fibre masked (textured) |
| Standard colors | Natural, grey RAL7032, black, light blue, yellow, custom | Density | ≈0.90 g/cm³ (ISO 1183), real-world may vary |
| Tensile strength | ≈25–35 MPa (ISO 527) | Flexural modulus | ≈1.2–1.7 GPa (ISO 178) |
| Vicat softening | ≈148–154°C (ISO 306) | Water absorption | <0.05% (ISO 62) |
| Flammability | UL 94 HB (typical for PP) | Chemical resistance | Excellent vs. acids/alkalis; avoid strong oxidizers |
Installers mention the texture hides handling marks; maintenance teams like that it wipes clean with mild detergents. Many customers say welding seams “blend nicely” after hot-air welding, which is always a win.
Materials: PP resin (homo/co-polymer as specified), color masterbatch, optional UV stabilizer. Method: single-screw extrusion → flat die → embossed roll for the fibre-masked texture → edge trim → anneal → cut-to-size. Testing: ISO 527 tensile, ISO 178 flexural modulus, ISO 62 water absorption; hardness (ISO 868); flammability screening per UL 94; RoHS/REACH declarations provided on request. Service life: around 5–10 years indoors; outdoors 3–7 years with UV package, real-world use may vary.
| Vendor | MOQ | Cut-to-size | Lead time | Certs/Docs | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lida Plastic (Hebei) | Flexible | Yes (factory) | ≈7–15 days | Test reports, RoHS/REACH | Good value; texture options |
| Regional distributor | Low | Yes (in-house saw) | Stock-dependent | COC on request | Fast delivery, higher price |
| Import brand | Medium | Limited | 3–6 weeks | Full datasheets | Premium finish |
Options: colors, UV package, sheet thickness, and precise cut-to-size. Fabrication: CNC routing, hot-air or extrusion welding, heat bending. Use PE/PP-compatible primers where needed; allow for thermal expansion (≈0.15–0.18 mm/m·°C). To be honest, that last bit saves headaches on large wall runs.
Electroplating shop (EU): swapped FRP splash guards for PP Fibre Masked Sheet, cut weekly cleaning time ~20% and reduced odor retention, according to maintenance logs. Aquaculture tanks (SE Asia): PP Fibre Masked Sheet panels with welded corners replaced painted steel; zero corrosion checks after 12 months.
