Larger graduated cylinders are made with polympropylene or polymethylpentane for its optimal chemical resistance for its clarity, making it lighter and less brittle than glass. Polypropylene (PP) is easy to autoclave repeatedly; However, at about 121 degrees Celsius (250 degrees Fahrenheit) excessive amounts of autoclaving (depending on the chemical composition: common commercial grade polypropylene melts more than 177 degrees centigrade (351 degrees Fahrenheit)) can properly affect polypropylene graduate cilia.
