    Multipurpose Polypropylene Bars

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Multipurpose Polypropylene Bars.
    Because these bars resist swelling when exposed to water, they’re often fabricated into containers and parts for laboratory equipment. Polypropylene has a hard, slippery surface that won’t bind or stick to cutting tools, plus it provides good electrical insulation.

    Flame-Retardant Polypropylene Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Flame-Retardant Polypropylene Sheets.
    These sheets meet FM 4910, UL 94 5VA, and UL 94 V-0 for flame retardance. Widely used in semiconductor applications, they have excellent electrical insulating properties. Polypropylene has a hard, slippery surface that won’t bind or stick to cutting tools.
