  2. Polypropylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polypropylene

    Polypropylene, highly colorfast, is widely used in manufacturing carpets, rugs and mats to be used at home. [47] Polypropylene is widely used in ropes, distinctive because they are light enough to float in water. [48] For equal mass and construction, polypropylene rope is similar in strength to polyester rope.

  3. Propylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propylene

    Polypropylene manufacturers consume nearly two thirds of global production. [17] Polypropylene end uses include films, fibers, containers, packaging, and caps and closures. Propene is also used for the production of chemicals such as propylene oxide, acrylonitrile, cumene, butyraldehyde, and acrylic acid. In the year 2013 about 85 million ...
