Q
does polypropylene absorb mineral oil
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Polypropylene is known for its hydrophobic properties, meaning it inherently repels water. This characteristic extends to its interaction with oils, including mineral oil, but with nuances. Polypropylene does not "absorb" mineral oil in the way materials like cotton or wood might, where the liquid penetrates the structure of the material. Instead, mineral oil can adhere to the surface of polypropylene due to adhesion forces, and under certain conditions, minimal amounts might diffuse into the polymer. However, this is not true absorption and any interaction between polypropylene and mineral oil would be superficial and limited. For applications requiring the containment or transport of mineral oil, polypropylene is generally considered a suitable material due to its resistance to chemical absorption and degradation.
