Polyethelyne or Polypropylene (sp)? Decisions, decisions...

#2279662 - 01/28/04 01:12 AM (20 years, 2 months ago)

I was just wondering which type of plastic is autoclavable. I've done some searching
but I have found conflicting results as to melting temps and the like. I'd appreciate any
information you could offer.

Polypropylene - PP -- is autoclavable - sorry no facts of melting points, etc -- but someone uses all types of PP products in varying size/thickness with perfect results. In the autoclave, and in the PC.
