I see polypropylene used as a low tack adhesive sold in sheets and rolls for crafting projects. It adheres to many surfaces without leaving any residue or smearing, is repositionable, and can come in clear and glossy sheets. But is it safe for the skin? As a crafter I handle this material constantly, and I can't seem to find any information on the FDA or manufacturer's website about it either.

What is your feeling of baby bottles being made with this plastic polypropylene?

can i know the price of virgin polypropylene code named S100.F380. its very urgent.

I love the ocean so I moved to Fort Lauderdale. In 1989 I became a quadriplegic. However, nothing was going to stop me from swimming in the ocean.

One day, I gathered a couple of teenagers, and brought them to the beach with me along with a giant queen sized bed sheet. Then they lifted me from my wheelchair, and placed me on the bed sheet.

Three of them dragged me to the water on the sheet until I became fully buoyant. It worked great! Then I started thinking! What if I took a thin sheet of polypropylene, maybe 1/8 of an inch thick, and bent it up slightly in the front and sides to prevent sand from getting on me. Also, drilling two holes on the top where my head will go, and insert nylon anchor rope to use for pulling me into the ocean.

The polypropylene sled would reduce friction, and protect me from the sharp objects that might be hidden in the sand. It really would serve the same purpose as a stretcher used by EMS. I would also like to attach a 24 inch soft plastic rod holding a blue flag with the white ISA (International Symbol of Accessibility a/k/a Wheelchair Symbol) printed on it.

The reason for this, is to pull it up on shore after transferring me into the water, and indicate to the lifeguard it is not going to be used as a flotation device.

It would strictly be used as an ambulatory device to bring an injured party to and from the ocean from an umbrella that the rest of my family would be hanging out. Somebody please help me!

I don't care about patent rights, I just want to get back in the ocean again! I think polypropylene is the right material! Please advise!

Is is safe to use a polypropylene sediment filter in a reverse osmosis water filtering system? The other two filters in the system are carbon.

Plastics are completely unsustainable because they all come from oil. We have reached peak oil and we can no longer continue to utilize plastic as excessively as we currently are. We need to think before we purchase products made from plastic and consider whether it's truly worth it.

is polypropylene used in making toasters? what other plastics are used?

I think this article is fab and very informative.

PLA is made from plant resin, and is just as good if not better than those made from fossil fuels. Henry Ford had originally planned to use bio-plastics in his cars. PLA is biodegradable and can be composted.

As far as I know oil is used to make all plastics. Polypro is very safe, I don't understand how the one person can say plastics are crap, they make up so much of our world today. On the "plastics aren't green" issue what if your car didn't implement so much plastic, you would burn 50x more gas. People need to think before they speak. As for the UV resistance and the winter weather resistance polypro is pretty resistant to most things so I think you both would be good.

I would like to connect two polypropylene containers together, and am wondering if anyone knows of an epoxy or other glue that will hold them together permanently.

Thanks so much

During industrial processes Polypropylene is used as building blocks for a wide variety of polyurethane foam products. How is industrial wastewater treated for any contaminants this product may produce?

no mention of polypropylene gloves and socks which, I keep reading,are suitable for Antarctica but no idea given on where to obtain these !

I am doing a case study of bio-form bras which also use polypropylene and i was wondering if any one can tell me the environmental effect of using polypropylene in manufacturing.

I have been trying to research it but due to the fact that it is a reasonable new plastic, no one seems to want to list its faults!

thank you

I'm planning to purchase a swimming pool cover. Some are made using polypropylene and others use polyethylene. Which would be better to use in Michigan in the winter?

Thank You

Is Dacron the same as polypropylene?

I need UV resistant rope for my flag pole and was told that Dacron fills the bill. Problem is all I can find in Dacron is fishing line. Flag pole companies sell nylon and polypropylene.

polypropylene is what people sniff and get effects.

If you are comparing a wool or polypropylene rug, you might like to consider that the polyprop is relatively inert as well as being durable, while the wool has probably been processed using highly toxic chemicals and may cause skin irritation.

Since it's a plastic, is oil used to make polypropylene?

If you are looking for a soft rug that is safe, I would suggest Wool. Other safe, natural choices would be a woven grass rug. Ultimately, all synthetics and plastics are crap, and are full of harmful chemicals.

Dose Polypropylene contain PVC or bisphenol-A. I am looking for a soft rug for the kids play room/ our office and need the plastic to be safe.
