This product is used to make TVT sling mesh to hold a prolapse uterus or hernia problems. I just had one removed from being in me for two years and the pain was just awful. I'm sensitive to antibiotics and had to take them to save my life because it was attacking my organs and my immune system, and I couldn't fight anything.

How do you explain using that for a medical device when they don't allow them in the dumps any longer? Also, if they continue using this, women will be in so much pain that men will have to become celibate as the pain is too excruciating to make love. Plastic doesn't belong in the human body. Now I feel wonderful since it's out and I am the lucky one. Now I have to clean my system with normal herbs and exercise. Don't get that mesh, folks, or you will be in deep trouble. Death was at my door twice this year.

The radiator core support in my 2006 Ford Freestyle was recently cracked. Is this part made of polyropylene? How can I find out and if it is what type of glue can be used to repair the crack?

The part is quite expensive and I cannot afford to replace it (I am on disability, a fixed income and 65 year old female and really need to get to my doctor ASAP) so I have been without transportation in a rural area. I would appreciate an answer soon if possible.

How is PP manufactured? With what materials/gases?

Plastics such as polypropylene and polyethylente can be made to biodegrade in landfills, if an additive is put into them at the time of manufacture. In landfills, it contributes to methane capture, which saves the equivalent to the fuel used in 14 million cars a year.

To the gentleman looking to "get back into the water":

My name is Luke. I work for my family business which is a company that designs and manufactures protective packaging. We also manufacture OEM and retail products. We work with many different types of foam materials and polymers.

I would be glad to lend my expertise and some time to help you out. You can reach me by looking up Barber Packaging Company. Please don't respond on here because I probably won't re-visit this forum.

As a 5 year old I remember my father getting third degree burns on his hand while boiling butter and then pouring it onto a plastic carrier which melt off and went directly onto his hands. Thanks now to Polypropylene cookery carriers, this problem has now been taken care of.

to all those wanting to glue Polypro- this is a very difficult to bond plastic. Your best option is to rough the surfaces (with sandpaper or sandblasting) corona treat the surface if you have access to a corona wand, and then use a two-part epoxy specially formulated for PP- 3m Scotchweld 8010 or 8005.

I see polypropylene used as a low tack adhesive sold in sheets and rolls for crafting projects. It adheres to many surfaces without leaving any residue or smearing, is repositionable, and can come in clear and glossy sheets. But is it safe for the skin? As a crafter I handle this material constantly, and I can't seem to find any information on the FDA or manufacturer's website about it either.

What is your feeling of baby bottles being made with this plastic polypropylene?

can i know the price of virgin polypropylene code named S100.F380. its very urgent.

I love the ocean so I moved to Fort Lauderdale. In 1989 I became a quadriplegic. However, nothing was going to stop me from swimming in the ocean.

One day, I gathered a couple of teenagers, and brought them to the beach with me along with a giant queen sized bed sheet. Then they lifted me from my wheelchair, and placed me on the bed sheet.

Three of them dragged me to the water on the sheet until I became fully buoyant. It worked great! Then I started thinking! What if I took a thin sheet of polypropylene, maybe 1/8 of an inch thick, and bent it up slightly in the front and sides to prevent sand from getting on me. Also, drilling two holes on the top where my head will go, and insert nylon anchor rope to use for pulling me into the ocean.

The polypropylene sled would reduce friction, and protect me from the sharp objects that might be hidden in the sand. It really would serve the same purpose as a stretcher used by EMS. I would also like to attach a 24 inch soft plastic rod holding a blue flag with the white ISA (International Symbol of Accessibility a/k/a Wheelchair Symbol) printed on it.

The reason for this, is to pull it up on shore after transferring me into the water, and indicate to the lifeguard it is not going to be used as a flotation device.

It would strictly be used as an ambulatory device to bring an injured party to and from the ocean from an umbrella that the rest of my family would be hanging out. Somebody please help me!

I don't care about patent rights, I just want to get back in the ocean again! I think polypropylene is the right material! Please advise!

Is is safe to use a polypropylene sediment filter in a reverse osmosis water filtering system? The other two filters in the system are carbon.

Plastics are completely unsustainable because they all come from oil. We have reached peak oil and we can no longer continue to utilize plastic as excessively as we currently are. We need to think before we purchase products made from plastic and consider whether it's truly worth it.

is polypropylene used in making toasters? what other plastics are used?

I think this article is fab and very informative.

PLA is made from plant resin, and is just as good if not better than those made from fossil fuels. Henry Ford had originally planned to use bio-plastics in his cars. PLA is biodegradable and can be composted.

As far as I know oil is used to make all plastics. Polypro is very safe, I don't understand how the one person can say plastics are crap, they make up so much of our world today. On the "plastics aren't green" issue what if your car didn't implement so much plastic, you would burn 50x more gas. People need to think before they speak. As for the UV resistance and the winter weather resistance polypro is pretty resistant to most things so I think you both would be good.

I would like to connect two polypropylene containers together, and am wondering if anyone knows of an epoxy or other glue that will hold them together permanently.

Thanks so much

During industrial processes Polypropylene is used as building blocks for a wide variety of polyurethane foam products. How is industrial wastewater treated for any contaminants this product may produce?

no mention of polypropylene gloves and socks which, I keep reading,are suitable for Antarctica but no idea given on where to obtain these !

I am doing a case study of bio-form bras which also use polypropylene and i was wondering if any one can tell me the environmental effect of using polypropylene in manufacturing.

I have been trying to research it but due to the fact that it is a reasonable new plastic, no one seems to want to list its faults!

thank you

I'm planning to purchase a swimming pool cover. Some are made using polypropylene and others use polyethylene. Which would be better to use in Michigan in the winter?

Thank You

So it is plastic. Then how can those non-woven Polypropylene bags call themself "green"?

Is Dacron the same as polypropylene?

I need UV resistant rope for my flag pole and was told that Dacron fills the bill. Problem is all I can find in Dacron is fishing line. Flag pole companies sell nylon and polypropylene.

polypropylene is what people sniff and get effects.

If you are comparing a wool or polypropylene rug, you might like to consider that the polyprop is relatively inert as well as being durable, while the wool has probably been processed using highly toxic chemicals and may cause skin irritation.

Since it's a plastic, is oil used to make polypropylene?

If you are looking for a soft rug that is safe, I would suggest Wool. Other safe, natural choices would be a woven grass rug. Ultimately, all synthetics and plastics are crap, and are full of harmful chemicals.

Dose Polypropylene contain PVC or bisphenol-A. I am looking for a soft rug for the kids play room/ our office and need the plastic to be safe.
