Polypropylene is a thermoplastic made by the polymerization of propylene gas, a by-product of petroleum refining. It offers a good balance of thermal, chemical and electrical properties with moderate strength. Because it has such a hard, high gloss surface, polypropylene is ideally suited to environments where there is concern for bacteria build up or build up that can interfere with flow. Polypropylene has good insulating properties, but dielectric strength shows some degree of change at elevated temperatures. It has good insulating properties and can be used in direct contact with foods.
