Material
PP — Polypropylene
The material of living hinges and chemical exposure.
Use it for
- Lids with an integrated hinge that folds thousands of times
- Bins and containers in contact with cleaning products or solvents
- Parts that must float or stay very light
What it will not do
- Three times the price of PETG: only worth it if the load demands it
- Matt, slightly rough surface — not a cosmetic material
- Black only
