Our cryo, nano snap cap micros, large micro container, magnetic micro, and other micro clear containers are made of polypropylene. Here are the specs for this product which show just how tough and durable these containers really are.
Co-Polypropylene or (PP-CO) also called a copolymer, is a polymer formed when two (or more) different types of monomer are linked in the same polymer chainis a thermoplastic polymer, used in a wide variety of applications, including food packaging, textiles, plastic parts and reusable containers of various types, laboratory equipment, loudspeakers, automotive components, and polymer banknotes. An addition polymer made from the monomer propylene, it is rugged and unusually resistant to many chemical solvents, bases and acids.
