Polypropylene is a thermoplastic polymer made from propylene monomers. It has a wide variety of applications, including packaging, plastic parts, textiles, and more. Polypropylene is one of the most produced plastics globally, with annual production estimated at 45 million metric tons currently and projected to increase to 62 million metric tons by 2020. It has a relatively low density and slippery surface making it a substitute for other plastics, though it can be difficult to bond to other surfaces requiring welding instead of gluing in some cases. The performance of solvent-based adhesives on polypropylene depends on the polymer system and formulation, with choices needed based on required temperature resistance, plasticizers, oils
