What is polypropylene foam?
Polypropene is a thermoplastic polymer made by the chemical industry packaging, textiles (e.g. ropes, thermal underwear and carpets), stationery, plastic parts and reusable containers of various types, laboratory equipment, loudspeakers, automotive components, and polymer banknotes.
Why do you have polypropylene plastic for bank notes?
Plastic banknotes have several advantages over paper banknotes. - They are much more resilient than paper notes, being very difficult to rip or tear. - They are waterproof. - They are much more difficult to forge. The polymer polypropylene, or to be more accurate biaxially oriented polypropylene, is chosen for use in the manufacture of plastic banknotes both because of polypropylenes resistance to most types of solvents and glues and because of it's resilience.
What is the Polypropylene Filter?
Polypropylene (PP), also known as polypropene, is a thermoplastic polymer used in a wide variety of applications including packaging and labeling, textiles (e.g., ropes, thermal underwear and carpets), stationery, 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.

When were polymer plastic banknotes first introduced into Australia?
Polymer banknote technology was jointly developed in Australia by the CSIRO and the Reserve Bank of Australia. The first Australian polymer banknotes were introduced on a trial basis and were the 1988 Bicentenary Ten Dollar note. They had a few problems with cracking and tended to fall apart with use after a short time. The notes were withdrawn and the CSIRO and RBA went back to the drawing board. The process was improved resulting in a phased introduction of polymer notes to replace the existing traditional paper banknotes. The polymer $5 note was first issued in 1992. The polymer $10 note was first issued in 1993. The polymer $20 note was first issued in 1994. The polymer $50 note was first issued in 1995. The polymer $100 note was first issued in 1996.
