polymethylpentene , PMP (Abkürzung)

Because of its high melting point and good temperature stability, polymethylpentene is used for autoclavable medical and laboratory equipment, microwave components, and cookware.

Often, the largest graduated cylinders are made of polypropylene for its excellent chemical resistance or polymethylpentene for its transparency, making them lighter and less fragile than glass.

Storage of the pea with films of polymethylpentene at a temperature of 5 C and a concentration of oxygen and carbon dioxide of 5 kPa increases the shelf life, internal and external characteristics of the plant.
