PP/PC Ventilation Grills and Covers

Ventilation grills and covers made of polypropylene or polycarbonate provide airflow through panels while keeping debris and pests out. These plastic vent panels are molded or extruded with slats or mesh patterns. PP grills are chemically inert and cost-effective; PC grills are tougher and often used where impact resistance is needed. They are used in equipment enclosures, HVAC ducting, and consumer appliances.
