Is polypropylene trasnparent to UV?

02 October 2023 1 6K Report

Hello

is a standard 1.5 mL tube made of polypropylene transparent to UV-A light?

Thank you

polypropylene is opaque and mate and it means visible light doesn't pass through the material. But UV A light has less wave lenght maybe can pass. The correct answer is doing a test.
