Triacell®

Triacell®: Extruded PP sheet with a cell structured core and a smooth top and bottom layer.

Triacell® is an extruded polypropylene sheet consisting of 3 layers. The central layer is a cell structured layer. The top and bottom layer are 2 smooth layers.

The cell structure is the core of this sheet. This gives Triacell® its principal characteristics: high rigidity and high compression strength, combined with a light weight.
