Abstract

Disclosed are rigid materials such as sheets, boards or tubes made of expanded polypropylene, which have a uniform specific gravity d of from about 4.1.times.10.sup.-6 to about 8.1.times.10.sup.-6 Newton/mm.sup.3, a crystallization temperature of from about 115.degree. C. to about 135.degree. C. and a flexural modulus Mf expressed in Newton/mm.sup.3 such that the ratio Mf:d is from about 1.5.times.10.sup.8 to about 1.7.times.10.sup.8 mm.
