CPVC vs. PP Copolymer
Both CPVC and PP copolymer are thermoplastics. There are 15 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (14, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is CPVC and the bottom bar is PP copolymer.
