Food-Grade PP Thermoforming Sheet | FDA Approved, Microwave-Safe for Food Packaging
Product Overview
Elevate your food packaging solutions with our FDA Approved Food-Grade PP Thermoforming Sheet—a premium blend of safety, durability, and processability designed for modern food contact applications. Crafted from 100% virgin polypropylene resin, this sheet meets the strictest global food safety standards while delivering exceptional performance in thermoforming processes. Whether you’re producing disposable meal containers, 生鲜托盘 (fresh produce trays), or microwave-safe lids, our PP sheet ensures your products remain fresh, uncontaminated, and compliant with international regulations .
Engineered for both automatic and manual thermoforming machines, our sheets offer consistent thickness, smooth surfaces, and precise mold conformity—critical for high-volume production lines. With options for transparent, milky white, or custom-colored finishes, plus glossy/matte surface treatments, we provide the versatility to enhance your product’s visibility and brand appeal .
Key Features
1. Global Food Safety Compliance
Our PP thermoforming sheets are fully certified to meet rigorous food contact standards, including FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 (US), EU 10/2011 (EU), and GB 4806.7-2023 (China). Each batch undergoes strict testing for heavy metal migration (≤0.01mg/kg) and is guaranteed BPA-free, non-toxic, and odorless—ensuring no harmful substances leach into food . We provide complete compliance documentation, including Certificates of Analysis (CoA) and Declaration of Conformity (DoC), for seamless market access.
2. Superior Thermoforming Performance
Designed for efficiency, our sheets feature optimal melt flow index (3-15g/10min) and balanced rigidity, enabling smooth vacuum forming, pressure forming, and plug-assisted thermoforming. The material maintains consistent thickness (±0.02mm) across rolls, reducing waste and ensuring uniform finished products. Even in high-speed production lines, it resists cracking and maintains shape integrity .
3. Exceptional Thermal & Chemical Resistance
With a heat resistance of up to 120°C, our PP sheet is microwave-safe and suitable for hot-fill applications (e.g., soup containers, ready meals). It also withstands freezing temperatures (-20°C) without brittleness, making it ideal for frozen food packaging. The material exhibits strong resistance to oils, acids, and food-based chemicals, preventing staining and material degradation .
4. Sustainable & Cost-Effective
As a recyclable thermoplastic (PCR options available), our PP sheet aligns with eco-friendly packaging trends—reducing your carbon footprint while meeting consumer demand for sustainability. Its low density (0.90-0.96g/cm³) lowers transportation costs, and high yield rates minimize material waste, delivering superior value for mass production .
5. Customizable Specifications
We offer flexible sizing to match your production needs:
- Thickness: 0.2mm – 2.0mm
- Width: 300mm – 1400mm
- Colors: Transparent, natural, white, black, or custom RGB shades
- Surface Finishes: Glossy (for product visibility), matte (anti-glare), or anti-fog (for cold food display)
- Additives: Optional anti-static or UV-resistant modifications
