Polypropylene is commonly used in applications where resistance to corrosion is of
primary importance, and is gradually replacing steel, stainless steel, and glass in
the chemical device and tank building industries. As well as being extremely corrosion
resistant, PP is inexpensive, lightweight, flexible, and is easily machined, formed, or
welded. Additionally, PP (in its copolymer form) demonstrates excellent impact
resistance and withstanding of cracking due to environmental stress, making it a
favorite in the prosthetic and orthopedic appliance industries. Typical uses for
polypropylene might include battery cases, laboratory sinks, artificial limbs and
prosthetics, fume hoods and ducts, and acid tank/linings, to name just a few.
