Polypropylene is a synthetic resin made from the monomer propylene. It is produced through a process called polymerization, in which small propylene molecules (monomers) are chemically bonded together to form long chains (polymers). Propylene, in turn, is derived primarily from petroleum and natural gas. Polypropylene is a versatile plastic material known for its durability, heat resistance, and chemical resistance, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including packaging, textiles, automotive parts, and household products.
