Frequent Questions About Corrugated Plastic Sheets?

Can light come through?

Light gets thru somewhat because it’s like cardboard made of plastic, if used as a block over a window, the corrugated plastic sheet would be "bright" with daylight behind, but only for white and yellow panels. But you can get a transparent coroplast board at the corrugated plastic manufacturer that can through most of the light, but normal stores do not sell clear corrugated plastic boards.

Is the front surface smooth to the touch or can you feel the flutes?

There are subtle ridges on the smooth surface. I used the corrugated plastic sheet to mount large images and the slight undulations on the surface were not very visible unless you were near and looking for it. For the most part, I am aware of them when I was smoothing out the wet mounting adhesive I was placing on them. You could feel the small crests as I slid over them with a squeegee.

Would I be able to cut this corrugated plastic sheet with a Xacto knife?

Yes, Score easily with a sharp knife. You could probably even use scissors. And you can use a box cutter but be very careful with it. For the most part, you will only mark the coroplast sheet because you do not want to cut all the way to the main area. The only parts you want to cut completely are one or both sides of the corner. Some people like to leave a tab in the corners to stick to the side of the base.

I am trying to remove the ink/paint from the coroplast signs with a simple trick. Because I saw that the recycling facility could eliminate it, so maybe I can do it too.

The corrugated plastic board is a soft and porous material that can absorb the dyes and materials with which it comes into contact. There are a variety of plastics, but the ink removal methods remain the same. Here are some methods along with helpful tips to make your inkblots a distant memory.

Method: Spray the ink-stained plastic with an all-purpose cleaner, wipe it with a clean cloth, if the stain remains, moisten a soft cloth or a cotton ball with ammonia. Place it in the ink spot for a few minutes, then clean. Wash the area with soapy water to remove any cleaning residue, dry with a clean soft cloth.

Can waterproof paint be applied to these corrugated plastic sheets? Do both sides have the same texture?

Yes, We print on ours with a UV printer, we use liquid chalk pens and all kinds of paint. Some paintings that you can clean and others you can not. The corrugated plastic board has the same texture on both sides. But you need to pay attention, you must follow the manufacturer's instructions for the application of the spray paint. Brushes and rollers are not recommended for the direct application of Coroplast paints because the paint layer is too thick and can easily be peeled and delaminated.

I want to put the cloth on these coroplast panels and I need to know if they are "acid-free"?

I can not find any information on whether they are acid-free. Corrugated plastic board is recognized in our industry for consistently providing the smoothest, flat and dimensionally stable plastic sheet with the highest level of Corona Treatment. The sheets are protected by Ultra-Violet for outdoor durability.

If the product is no longer usable, we recommend removing any accessory that is not made of polypropylene, if applicable and recycling it.
