Polypropylene- Excellent resistance to acids, alcohols, bases and mineral oils.
- Very tough and flexible but does not have good abrasion resistance.
- Working temperature is typically around 194F (90C).
- Exposure to sunlight can cause degradation.
- Does not absorb any water.
- Only ETO sterilizing is recommended for Polypropylene. This material will discolor and degrade in Gamma Radiation and Autoclaving will soften and distort, possibly changing the filtration capabilities of the material.
