What is Correx

Correx is a lightweight (fluted polypropylene), corrugated plastic sheet made from polypropylene, also known as fluted polypropylene board. It’s prized for its strength, flexibility, and low weight, making it ideal for both temporary and long-term use. Whether it’s protecting surfaces on a construction site or creating durable signage, Correx is a highly adaptable material.

What Are the Common Uses of Correx Board?

Correx is widely used in the construction industry as a protective barrier for floors, walls, and other surfaces. It helps prevent damage during building or renovation work. Beyond construction, it’s also popular for signage, packaging, and event management—anywhere a tough, disposable, and water-resistant material is needed.

What is the lifespan of Correx?

Indoor Use: In indoor environments, Correx boards can last for several years, depending on the conditions and level of wear and tear. They maintain their appearance and functionality over time.

Outdoor Use: Outdoors, the lifespan of Correx can vary based on environmental factors. Standard Correx can last 1-2 years with constant exposure to harsh weather.

Correx really comes into it’s own when it is used as a printed medium, for signboards, banners, for bollard covers, temporary signage or lamppost wraps.

Is Correx Waterproof?

Yes—Correx is naturally waterproof. Its polypropylene composition resists moisture, making it suitable for outdoor use or damp environments where water exposure is a concern.

Is Correx Recyclable?

Absolutely! Correx is recyclable and can be processed alongside other polypropylene plastics. However, recycling capabilities vary by location, so it’s best to check with your local facility to confirm they accept this material.

How Do You Cut Correx?

Cutting Correx is straightforward with the right tools. For small or simple cuts, a sharp utility knife or scissors will do the job. For cleaner, more precise edges, use a craft knife with a straight edge.

Always cut on a stable surface to protect both your tools and the material. At First Display, we have the ability to print your custom design and then cut to the size you specify.

Is Correx Fire Retardant?

Standard Correx is not fire retardant. However, fire-resistant variants are available from certain manufacturers. These are designed to meet safety regulations for use in environments where fire protection is essential. Always verify the product specifications before use.
