    Polypropylene MSDS

    Uploaded by

    This document provides a material safety data sheet for polypropylene, which is a homopolymer plastic. It lists polypropylene as the principal component at over 99% and notes its physical properties including a specific gravity of 0.90-0.91 and flash point above 500°F. The sheet indicates polypropylene is generally non-hazardous but dust inhalation is a potential route of exposure. It should be stored away from strong oxidizers and ignition sources, and decomposes when burned producing carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other products. Spills can be swept up and waste disposed of through incineration or approved landfilling.

    Polypropylene is a thermoplastic commonly used in plastic products. It has low density, is resistant to chemicals, and has good mechanical properties.

    Polypropylene is a homopolymer plastic with the chemical formula (CH2CH2)n. It has a low density, low vapor pressure, low solubility in water, and is resistant to chemicals. It melts above 500°F and its main applications are containers and packaging.

    Proper ventilation should be used when thermal decomposition occurs. Protective equipment like gloves and eye protection should be worn when handling molten polypropylene. Dust accumulation should be avoided.
