PP (Polypropylene) FAQs

What is polypropylene plastic used for?

Polypropylene (PP) resists most solvents and chemicals, which makes it a wonderful material to manufacture laboratory equipment and containers for a variety of applications. PP also offers good fatigue strength.
What are the disadvantages of polypropylene?

The disadvantages of polypropylene are:
Its post-cooled resistance to adding coatings such as paint or ink.
If the fiber becomes too hot, there is a tendency to break.
PP is highly flammable and will melt when exposed to heat. It has a flash point of 260° Celsius.
It can often suffer from chain degradation leading to oxidation, which subsequently results in cracks and crazing.
It is prone to damage from UV light.
Is polypropylene a medical-grade material?

Yes, Polypropylene is a medical-grade plastic material that is cost effective. It is often used where steam-sterilized medical equipment is necessary. Due to the sterilization and transparent processes, PP has grown in popularity within the medical industry. It’s ability to withstand relatively high temperatures, cleaning agents, solvents, disinfectants, combined with the moderate cost, promises application in this sector for years to come.
Is polypropylene a strong material?

Yes, Polypropylene (PP) can withstand fairly heavy loads, despite being lightweight, and offers good fatigue strength. It also resists most solvents and chemicals, which makes it a suitable material for manufacturing laboratory equipment and containers for a variety of uses.
