Polypropylene

Polypropylene is used across many industries as a good, general-use polymer. It offers resistance to many standard chemical solutions across the full pH range, making it a product of choice for many applications. There are chemicals that will interact with polypropylene, either degrading it, discoloring it, or causing it to crack, and as such, it is important to ensure that the chemical solutions being used are compatible with this polymer. Such chemicals include chlorinated and aromatic solutions, as well as some organic solvents.
