Water is a polar molecule, meaning it has an uneven distribution of electrons (draw an electron dot diagram to see). Polar substances attract other polar substances, however polypropylene is non-polar, meaning it has an even distribution of electrons, therefore it will not be attracted to water, instead being repelled by it. similar to polar attracts polar, so does non-polar attract non-polar
