Data from manufacturer spec table
Colors: Natural, White, Grey, Blue, Black, Yellow. Yellow and Grey are most used for floor protection on sites.
Other properties of PP:
- Low density
- High heat resistance
- High tensile strength
- Very high chemical resistance
- Tensile Strength @ Yield ~ 26.5 MPa
- Working temperature: +5C to +100C
Key Benefits
Why construction and engineering companies use it over cardboard / plastic film:
- High Impact Resistance: The "bubble" core acts as a shock absorber against falling tools or debris
- 100% Waterproof: Protects your floors from liquid spills, paint, and chemicals
- Lightweight & Durable: Easy to handle and move, yet tough enough to withstand heavy foot traffic
- Reusable: Can be easily cleaned and rolled back up for the next project, making it cost effective
- Slip-Resistant: Provides a safe walking surface for workers compared to traditional plastic films
Types Available
- Standard Triplex (3-Ply): 2mm to 6mm, for general floor and packaging use
- Double Layer / 6-Ply: 2 bubble cores, up to 12mm thick, 5000-6000 GSM, for heavy-duty protection
- With Felt Backing: Felt laminated on one side to prevent scratches on Italian marble / wooden floors
- Colored / Printed: Company logo printing for branding - Cello Bubble Guard, Nilkamal are big brands in India
- Roll Form vs Sheet Form: Available in both Rolls (for large areas) and Sheets (for easy handling)
Where it is used
A. Construction / Interior - Main use in India:
- Flooring Protection: Ideal for Italian marble, tiles, granite, and wooden flooring during construction
- Wall Cladding: Can be used to protect wall surfaces and elevators during material transport
- Furniture Shielding, Waterproofing Layer over membranes
B. Industrial Packaging - For Surya Engineering type use:
- A 3-ply or 6-ply polypropylene (PP) sheet having a honeycomb structure as the middle layer to make a strong, rigid composite sheet, offering high mechanical properties for multiple applications like packaging boxes and false ceiling
- Auto parts bins, collapsible boxes, partition / divider sheets in crates, tool kits
- Die-cut boxes for fragile engineering components

If you need to protect floors or make reusable boxes - use Bubble Guard. If you need to wrap a product for courier - use bubble wrap.
Material
Primary Material: Polypropylene (PP)
Polypropylene is used for Bubble Guard products because it provides a combination of low weight, durability, moisture resistance, impact resistance and recyclability. Products using virgin PP can also be designed for repeated-use applications.
Water & Moisture Performance
This is a major buyer question for construction sites.
What buyers want to know:
Can it be used in wet areas?
You can write:
Bubble Guard Sheet is manufactured from polypropylene and is designed for moisture-resistant surface protection. Its cellular PP structure does not behave like paper or cardboard when exposed to normal site moisture.
Some commercial Bubble Guard products are explicitly described as waterproof.
