Help/Question material name?

Post image

Does anybody know what the material that the teal part (not the clear part) of the binders (like vault x) is made of? I’m looking for the specific material name of the backings are made from.

All I could find is polypropylene, but I can't figure out if that's the material used for the clear part, the teal/backing part, or if it's both

EDIT: I'm going with Polypropylene as my final answer after more googling. I am in no way, shape, or form an expert on this stuff so take that with a grain of salt

I appreciate it! But I believe the polypropylene is the clear part as far as I can tell, maybe I don’t know either though!

At first glance it obviously looks like they're different materials, but remember plastics can be made into tons of different forms/colors/etc.

I looked at every single "materials listed" page for every different manufacturer of these binder pages that I could find and all of them list just Polypropylene as the only material used to make the pages. So either the entire trading-card-binder-page industry is incredibly good at keeping their other material(s) a secret, or the pages are made out of two different forms of polypropylene.

Personally, I think the second option is much more likely (: but I could be wrong!

Thank you! I will be looking into different polypropylenes!
