Polypropylene offers many valuable properties:

- High heat resistance for commodity plastic
- Good chemical resistance
- FDA and medical grades available
A versatile thermoplastic polymer with many cost/performance benefits, PP is available in three general types:
- Homopolymer
- Random copolymer
- Block (impact) copolymer
Its overall toughness, flexibility and heat resistance make it ideal for consumer products, and FDA grades are appropriate for food, toy and medical applications. Its rigidity and tensile strength can be improved by adding talc, mineral or glass reinforcements.
