Bubble-X Polypropylene Compared to Coroplast

?

HELLO! Long time no posts.

Interested in Hard Panniers? Is Coroplast too light? Need something heavier without resorting to Acrylic Butadiene??

I went to the plastic dealer looking for 4mm Coroplast, but they didn’t have any. They said $100 minimum order, and they don’t take cash…
Bubble-X Polypropylene Honeycomb is what they sold me!
I got two 48”x96” boards, 5mm thickness?

You need a router to rabbet cut a groove before you can bend it.?


A bit of a weight penalty compared to Coroplast, but if your bike has a motor it won’t be a problem. Or you can make a smaller box.

you don’t need to cut a groove in Coroplast in order to bend it, that’s the key difference.

Honeycomb has the same flexural modulus vertically and horizontally, whereas Coroplast is stronger in one orientation.
