Polypropylene is a multi-layer coating, essentially a film, which very qualitatively emulates the pattern, structure and even relief of natural wood. This finishing material has excellent optical characteristics, especially noticeable when using 3D embossing.
Polypropylene is a resistant polymer with excellent performance characteristics and is highly resistant to mechanical damage.
Also, it is very resistant to moisture. Even in constant interaction with water at room temperature, its water absorption remains at a low level, only 0.5%. If the temperature spikes up to 140°F (60°C) this will increase this figure to 2%.
In contrast to other plastics, polypropylene coating is warm to the touch. You will not feel that the door surface is covered with an articicial material.
Some doors produced by Belldinni are also finished with polypropylene.
DOORS COVERED WITH POLYPROPYLENE ARE SAFE. The same material is used to make plastic bottles and disposable tableware.
