Definition of the Bactericidal Pot Partition
The bactericidal pot partition, also known as the polypropylene perforated plate, is a type of plate mainly made of polypropylene (PP) through punching processing technology.
Advantages of PP Perforated Plate
- High Strength: Although the density of PP is relatively low, by adding reinforcing agents and optimizing processing techniques, the PP punched plate can have high strength and stiffness. It can withstand certain external impacts and loads, and meet various mechanical property requirements in practical applications.
- Good Insulation Performance: The PP material itself has good electrical insulation properties. This enables the PP perforated plate to be widely used in fields such as electrical and electronics that require insulation performance, such as insulation partitions for electrical equipment and casings for electronic instruments.
Limitations of PP Perforated Plate
- Poor Wear Resistance: Due to insufficient surface hardness, the wear resistance of the PP perforated plate is also poor. In an environment with frequent friction or contact wear, the surface is prone to abrasion, resulting in a reduction in the thickness of the perforated plate and an increase in the pore size, thus affecting its performance and service life.
- Prone to Scratching: The surface hardness of the PP perforated plate is relatively low. When it comes into contact or rubs against other objects, it is easily scratched, affecting its aesthetics and surface quality.
Main Functions of PP Perforated Plate
The main functions of the PP perforated plate include ventilation, air permeability, filtration and screening, protective isolation, decorative aesthetics, as well as sound absorption and noise reduction. It can promote air circulation and heat dissipation, filter and intercept particulate impurities, serve as a safety barrier and area partition, enhance the appearance of buildings and interior decorations with its unique appearance, and absorb sound waves to reduce noise.
Working Principle of PP Perforated Plate
It mainly utilizes its perforated structure to achieve functions such as ventilation, filtration, screening, sound absorption, and noise reduction. At the same time, due to the characteristics of PP material such as corrosion resistance, insulation, light weight, and high strength, it plays an important role in multiple fields.
There are various types of PP perforated plates. How to choose the right one for you
- Dimensions and Specifications
- Dimensional Accuracy: If high installation accuracy is required, for example, for components of some precision equipment, a PP punched plate with high dimensional accuracy needs to be selected to ensure accurate fitting with other components. Usually, the punched plates produced by regular manufacturers will indicate the dimensional tolerance range in the product description for selection.
- Customization Requirements: When the standard – sized perforated plates cannot meet the usage requirements, customization needs to be considered. Some manufacturers can carry out customized production according to the specific dimensions, hole shapes, hole diameters, and other requirements of customers. However, the price of customized products is relatively high, and the production cycle may be longer. Therefore, it is necessary to weigh the pros and cons according to the actual situation.
- Color and Appearance
- Color Selection: There are various colors available for PP perforated plates. The choice should be based on the usage scenario and aesthetic requirements. When used for the exterior decoration of buildings, a perforated plate that matches the color of the main building can be selected; when used for commercial displays, bright and eye – catching colors can be chosen to attract attention.
- Appearance Quality: Pay attention to whether the surface of the perforated plate is smooth and flat, and whether there are defects such as burrs, cracks, and material shortages. A perforated plate with good surface quality is not only aesthetically pleasing but also less likely to scratch people and other objects during use, and ensures stable performance.
- Cost Factors
- Product Price: The prices of PP perforated plates from different manufacturers, with different specifications and performances, vary significantly. On the premise of meeting the usage requirements, the prices of multiple suppliers can be compared to select a product with high cost – effectiveness. However, do not rely solely on price as the only selection criterion. You also need to comprehensively consider factors such as product quality, performance, and after – sales service.
- Service Life and Maintenance Cost: A PP perforated plate with good quality and excellent performance has a long service life and low maintenance cost. Although its purchase price may be relatively high, in the long run, it can reduce the overall cost. Therefore, when choosing, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the service life and maintenance cost of the product to select a cost – effective product.
- Punching Characteristics
- Hole Shape: Common hole shapes include round, square, rectangular, and oval. Round holes have good ventilation performance and uniform stress distribution, which are suitable for most ventilation, filtration, and other applications; square and rectangular holes are more common when fixed, protective, or decorative effects are required, such as being used as protective fences and decorative screens; oval holes have some of the advantages of round and rectangular holes and can be selected according to specific needs.
- Hole Diameter and Hole Spacing: The size of the hole diameter directly affects the ventilation volume, filtration accuracy, and other performances of the perforated plate. The larger the hole diameter, the greater the ventilation volume, but the lower the filtration accuracy; conversely, the smaller the hole diameter, the smaller the ventilation volume and the higher the filtration accuracy. The hole spacing affects the strength and appearance of the perforated plate. Generally, the smaller the hole spacing, the higher the strength of the perforated plate, but the ventilation volume decreases accordingly. The hole diameter and hole spacing need to be determined comprehensively according to the requirements of ventilation, filtration, protection, etc. in practical applications.
