Single Layer Polypropylene

Also known as PolyPro (PP), is a thermoplastic polymer. Nearly all disposable garments have some level of PP in the makeup of the fabric. The lowest cost cleanroom garments are made of a single layer of PP, available in various basis weights or material thickness. Most bouffant caps, beard covers, and low cost lab coats are made of this single layer construction.
