    Polypropylene is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic with high bonding strength, tough, stable, elastic, hard and highly abrasion- and impact-resistant. Because of its chemical and physical molecular structure, solid masses of polypropylene are highly resistant to a wide range of aggressive chemicals including aqueous solutions of salts, acids and ...

  6. Polypropylene glycol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polypropylene_glycol

    Polypropylene glycol is produced by ring-opening polymerization of propylene oxide. The initiator is an alcohol and the catalyst a base, usually potassium hydroxide. When the initiator is ethylene glycol or water the polymer is linear. With a multifunctional initiator like glycerine, pentaerythritol or sorbitol the polymer branches out ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame_retardant

    A small study of US foam recyclers and carpet installers, who handle padding often made from recycled polyurethane foam, showed elevated levels of flame retardants in their tissues. [64] Workers in electronics recycling plants around the world also have elevated body levels of flame retardants relative to the general population.
