Structural PP panels: lightness and strength

Finding a material that combines structural strength, low weight, and ease of processing is one of the main challenges for designers, fitters, and manufacturing companies. In dynamic environments subject to high mechanical stress, the balance between strength and lightness can make a real difference. Structural polypropylene (PP) panels, such as those developed by Innepla, offer an innovative and sustainable solution to this challenge.

What is a structural PP panel?
 

Innepla’s structural PP panels are based on a three-layer technology: two compact outer surfaces and an internal honeycomb core (Bubble Guard®). This configuration allows for excellent and evenly distributed rigidity without increasing the material’s overall weight.
The result is a panel capable of bearing significant loads while remaining easy to process and integrate into complex designs.

Practical advantages of structural PP panels
This technology provides several measurable benefits:

• Lightweight without compromise: compared to traditional materials such as wood or MDF, honeycomb PP reduces weight by up to 35%, improving handling and transport.
• Mechanical resistance: the closed-cell structure ensures high resistance to compression, impacts, and bending.
• Durability: PP is waterproof, hygienic, and resistant to chemicals, making it ideal for high-wear or demanding environments.
• Easy processing: panels can be cut, drilled, glued, milled, or laminated with great precision.
• Recyclability: being mono-material and 100% recyclable, they contribute to a responsible circular economy.

Versatile applications across sectors

Innepla’s structural PP panels are suitable for a wide range of uses:

• Camper interiors, where lightness and strength are essential to optimize load capacity and the durability of furnishings.
• Technical furniture and structural supports, such as table bases, load-bearing surfaces, worktops, or lightweight shelving.
• Automotive industry, for manufacturing rigid yet lightweight components that are easy to integrate.
• Reinforced industrial packaging, for reusable containers resistant to shocks during logistics.
