Uses of PP Honeycomb as a Construction Material

Polypropylene (PP) is a robust material that can resist corrosion and moisture. When supplied as honeycomb panels, the material becomes more durable with its unique cell structure. High-quality PP honeycomb can be used in construction as a means to reduce the overall weight of the building. The honeycomb geometry is an aspect that minimizes the number of materials you are likely to use to achieve the minimal material cost and minimal weight. The cells are typically hexagonal and columnar in shape, which helps reduce the density and the relative high out-of-plan shear and compression properties. PP honeycomb is not only lightweight, it also boasts high compressive strength and resists corrosion caused by seawater and chemicals. It is moisture-proof and waterproof, too. It can be incorporated into a structure to provide sound insulation and ensure a stable internal temperature indoors. Polypropylene honeycomb has superb shock and compression resistance, and it can reduce the damage
