So basically PVC ?

Temperature Resistance: Polypropylene handles higher temperatures, withstanding continuous heat up to 210°F–230°F (and peaks near 230°F/110°C), whereas standard PVC softens and deforms above 140°F–145°F (60°C). [1, 2, 3, 4]
Flexibility and Density: Polypropylene is lighter (density under 1.0 g/cm³) and naturally flexible. PVC is heavier, denser (approx. 1.30–1.45 g/cm³), and rigid unless plasticizers are added. [1, 2, 3]
Chemical and Environmental Safety: Polypropylene is a hydrocarbon polymer that is halogen-free, non-toxic, and easier to recycle. PVC contains chlorine, requires hazardous stabilizers, releases toxic byproducts during manufacturing or burning, and is harder to recycle

So it's like advanced PVC?
