Facts

Business Waste, a top UK waste management company, explains that Polypropylene (PP) is a strong yet lightweight thermoplastic polymer. It resists various chemicals and has a high melting point. PP is widely used in packaging, which makes up about 30% of its usage. It's a common plastic, often mixed with other materials or used alone in many products. Recycling PP is important for environmental protection, and many businesses use recyclable PP products.

Additionally, EuroPlas, a European Plastic Joint Stock Company in Vietnam, explains that advancements in manufacturing and technology have led to various types of polypropylene. These include homopolymers, random copolymers, and impact copolymers with unique qualities for different uses.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I ensure the airtight seal of hinged containers?

To ensure an airtight seal on hinged containers, follow these steps:

1. Before use, inspect the rim of the container and the lid for any damage or deformities. Even a small crack or warping can prevent an airtight seal.
2. Ensure the sealing edge of the container and the lid are clean and free from debris or food particles. Residues can prevent a proper seal.
3. When closing the container, apply even pressure around the edges of the lid. You should hear a clicking or snapping sound, indicating the lid is securely in place.
4. Gently try to lift the lid without applying too much force. If it stays in place, the seal is likely airtight. For a more thorough test, you can slightly press the center of the lid - if it doesn’t pop up, the seal is good.
5. Don’t overfill the container. Leaving some space at the top ensures the lid can close properly without damaging the seal.
6. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of the sealed container, as this can cause the lid to warp or loosen.

What is the proper method for cleaning the containers?

1. Empty the container.
2. Rinse with warm water. 
3. Use a small amount of dishwashing liquid or mild detergent.
4. Soak and scrub using a soft-bristled brush or sponge. 
5. Rinse thoroughly.
6. Air dry or towel dry.
7. Double-check for cleanliness.

Can they be used for sous-vide cooking?

No, PP containers are not suitable for sous-vide cooking. Sous-vide requires cooking food in a water bath at precise temperatures, often for extended periods, and the food is vacuum-sealed in heat-safe bags. PP containers are not designed to withstand the continuous high temperatures used in sous-vide cooking, and their shape and structure may not be conducive to this cooking method. Use materials specifically rated for sous-vide cooking to ensure the food's safety and quality.
