Aortha Copolymer Polypropylene Plastic Sheets - Colours
Aortha PPC Copolymer Polypropylene has excellent physical characterisitcs, particularly for applications where impact strength and heat resistance is important. The ability of Polypropylene to yield pressure and torque, yet consistantly return to its form without fatiguing, will eliminate distortion.
Product Description
Copolymer Polypropylene Plastic Sheets
The Aortha Copolymer Polypropylene Plastic Sheets - Colours are premium-grade sheets designed for various orthotic and prosthetic applications. These sheets are known for their high impact resistance, flexibility, and ease of processing, making them ideal for creating durable, custom-fit devices. The inclusion of up to 15% polyethylene enhances their properties, providing superior performance for medical professionals.
