| Poly propylene (P.P.), also known as poly propene, is a thermoplastic polymer used in a wide variety of applications, including packaging, textiles (e.g., ropes, thermal underwear and carpets), stationery, plastic parts and reusable containers of various types, laboratory equipment, loudspeakers, automotive components, and polymer banknotes. An addition polymer made from the monomer propylene, it is rugged and unusually resistant to many chemical solvents, bases and acids.
NDYLON poly propylene also exhibits excellent moisture barrier characteristics. It is typically coded as a "#5" or "Type 5" plastic and designated so by the classic "chasing arrows" recycle icon with a #5 in the middle.
