Product Highlights
  • Triacell® is an extruded polypropylene sheet consisting of 3 layers. The central layer is a cell structured layer. The top and bottom layers are 2 smooth layers. The cell structure is the core of this sheet. This gives Triacell® its principal characteristics: a high rigidity and a high compression strength, combined with a light weight.
  • The smooth upper and lower layer make this sheet perfectly suitable for printing. The possibility to laminate this sheet enlarges the applications.
  • Triacell® can be processed into packaging, layer pads, product dividers.
