Corrugated Plastic started to be used as alternative for corrugated paper boxes in Europe in the late 1970’s. The United States  began producing corrugated plastic in the mid 80’s. Polyethylene resin(PE) can be “welded” with a similar structure to corrugated fiberboard,  but provides better performance.Plastic welding is welding for semi-finished plastic materials, and is described in ISO 472 as a process of uniting softened surfaces of materials, generally with the aid of heat (except solvent welding). Welding of thermoplastics is accomplished in three sequential stages, namely surface preparation, application of heat and pressure, and cooling.  

      When producing containers or sheets in plastic corrugated laminated (Wave-Beam) structure it will always be made from polyethylene. The most common thickness for PE laminated (Wave-Beam) is 4mm. This material is widely used to commercial, political signs and for constructing plastic containers, reusable packaging, pet cages and so on.

Polypropylene vs Polyethylene Plastic Corrugated

      Depending on how you are going to use your product. PE is less affected by extreme cold applications. When the temperatures reach 10℃ or lower PP will begin to have a tendency or at least more likely to fracture or crack when it takes an impact or when flexed or folded in this cold environment. 

      PE is also softer, so it may be selected or rejected for the project because of this factor. The warmer the environment the softer polyethylene will become.

      PE plastic corrugated sheet more “shinning and smooth” than PP plastic corrugated sheet.

Both materials have their benefits and deficits. So each project needs to be evaluated before making a decision.
