Facts

Polypropylene was discovered in 1954 and became popular due to its lightweight nature. Hisham A. Maddah, a scholar from King Abdulaziz University in Saudi Arabia, says it resists chemicals and can be shaped using injection moulding and extrusion. 

PP resists various chemicals like acids and alcohol. Todd Johnson, a science expert from the University of Colorado Boulder, says its crystalline structure and methyl groups give it stiffness and a high melting point. While it's widely used in industries, it shouldn't be used in freezing temperatures.

 PP shows good physical, mechanical, and thermal properties at room temperature. It's affordable, flame-resistant, transparent, and recyclable, which makes it ideal for various applications.
