(a) Atactic PP CAS #9003-08-0; isotactic PP CAS #25085-53-4

(b) Aluminum foil, while obviously not a polymer, is included due to its widespread use in package converting and other industries.

⁽¹⁾ Names which are most widely used to describe the material or family of materials (e.g., polyurethanes and epoxies) at hand are preferred here. Commonly used acronyms and synonyms are also shown.

⁽²⁾ CAS (Chemical Abstract Series) numbers are shown where available. In a number of instances, more than one CAS number is assigned to a given polymer — in some cases the details and nuances of these divergences are not at all clear. We have tried to reference the CAS number which appears to have the widest use with reference to the solid state properties of the given polymer.
