Polypropylene vs. Polyamide

Polypropylenenoun

A thermoplastic resin made by the polymerization of propylene, and used for films, fibres, or moulding materials. Also known as polypropene.

Polypropylenenoun

a polymer of propylene used as a thermoplastic molding material

Polypropylenenoun

a synthetic resin which is a polymer of propylene, used chiefly for films, fibres, or moulding materials

Polypropylene

Polypropylene (PP), also known as polypropene, is a thermoplastic polymer used in a wide variety of applications. It is produced via chain-growth polymerization from the monomer propylene.

Polyamidenoun

(chemistry) Any of a range of polymers containing amide (or peptide) repeat units; examples include proteins and nylon.

Polyamidenoun

a polymer containing repeated amide groups

Polyamidenoun

a synthetic polymer of a type made by the linkage of an amino group of one molecule and a carboxylic acid group of another, including many synthetic fibres such as nylon.

Polyamide

A polyamide is a polymer with repeating units linked by amide bonds.Polyamides occur both naturally and artificially. Examples of naturally occurring polyamides are proteins, such as wool and silk.
