- used in industry and consumer goods
- it can be used as a structural plastic and as fibber
- Polypropylene is often used for food containers, particularly those that need to be dishwasher safe
- The melting point of polypropylene is very high compared to many other plastics, at 320°F (160°C), which means that the hot water used when washing dishes will not cause polypropylene dishware to warp.
- Like many plastics, polypropylene has virtually endless uses, and its development has not slowed since its discovery. Whether used for industrial molds, rugged currency, car parts, or Tupperware, polypropylene is one of a handful of materials the world is literally built around.

- PP is a young plastic, it was first synthesized in 1954 by scientists in Italy and Giulio Natta produced industrially
- Coffee machines and water boiler are usually made of PP
- PP can be processed into fibers> carpets, artificial grass, ropes

- high hardness and consistency, high strength
- PP has good resistance to chemicals

Polypropylene was the first time synthesized by Dr. Karl Rehn Farbwerken and at the same time by John Paul Hogan and Robert Banks in 1951. The large-scale synthesis of the work started in 1957 by Giulio Natta .. Since then, the production volumes of PP compared to all other plastics has increased the most.
- consists only of carbon and HYDROGEN
- impervious to moisture
- PP is odorless and hypoallergenic, it is physiologically harmless.
- Polypropylene is one of the leading plastics
- The natural resources are petroleum and natural gas in part. Thereout you get propene, out of this you get polymerization polypropylene.

- Today, the PP plastic material with the second largest consumption
- it is a versatile material
- Designers and manufacturers can select from more than 3,000 different commercial varieties of PP
- PP is the lightest of all plastics because of its low density
- PP is one of the most ubiquitous plastics that have ever been developed; its well-balanced properties can be adapted to a variety of production methods and applications, and its relatively low price make the use of PP meaningful in different industries.
- The biggest consumer of PP is the worldwide automotive market.
- PP is used in household goods such as food containers, toys, luggage, bicycle helmets, child seats, or foldable garden chairs, interior of dishwashers, or washing machine parts
- Nonwovens are the largest application area for single fibers from PP: Surgical clothing, disposable diapers, sanitary napkins and other hygiene products
- Polypropylene also plays a major role in the packaging sector, where it is only exceed by polyethylene. PP is the preferred product for bottle caps because of its stiffness and its resistance to cracking at high loads. Convenience foods that require no refrigeration and can be heated in a microwave oven are available in sealed polypropylene containers.
- tape is another everyday product made out of PP tape
