Popular Materials for Floor and Wall Protection
Superior floor and wall protection are commonly made from high-impact polypropylene or polyethylene resin. Available in lightweight polypropylene (PP) fluted sheeting, it provides a durable, non-slip surface that is highly resistant to punctures or tears. PP fluted sheeting is impervious to most paints, caulking, liquids, and many other materials used in construction. It also performs well in temperature extremes.
Unlike cardboard floor coverings, fluted PP sheet is extremely flexible, reusable, easy to clean, and suitable for high traffic areas. Further uses for heavy-duty PP fluted sheeting include:
Countertop templates
Subsoil protection
Concrete forming
Protection for walls
Stairs
Columns
Ornamental architectural features
Other Advantages
The benefits of fluted polypropylene sheeting and polyethylene resin in the medical and construction fields are clear. These materials are important for maintaining surface integrity and cleanliness during remodeling, construction, and medical procedures. Properties such as durability, flexibility, and impact resistance also make them essential for protecting surfaces against contamination and physical damage.
