Facts

A review featured in the American Journal of Polymer Science by Hisham A. Maddah from King Abdulaziz University highlights the versatility of Polypropylene (PP) food containers. The study emphasizes PP's known malleability, which highlights its unique stability against chemicals and heat. PP is an optimal choice for storing meals featuring various chemical compositions and the reheating of food.

History of Polypropylene

In 1951, chemists J. Paul Hogan and Robert Banks successfully produced PP, which gained popularity within six years. By 1954, German scientist Karl Rehn and Italian Nobel laureate Guilio Natta independently polymerized propylene into a crystalline isotactic polymer, marking the initiation of mass production by Montecatini. Since then, Polypropylene has become a famous material across various industries.
