Yes, these are polypropylene, not polycarbonate

Polypropylene and polycarbonate are two different types of plastics with distinct properties, and they are used for various applications, including food storage. Here are some key differences:

Chemical Composition:
- Polypropylene (PP) is a thermoplastic polymer made from propylene monomers. PP is known for its flexibility and resistance to chemicals.
- Polycarbonate (PC) is a thermoplastic polymer derived from bisphenol A (BPA) and phosgene. PC is transparent and has high impact resistance.

Physical Properties:
-PP is generally more flexible and has a lower melting point compared to polycarbonate. It is resistant to fatigue, making it suitable for repeated use.
-PC is known for its high impact resistance and optical clarity. It's often used in products requiring transparency and strength.

Temperature Resistance:
- PP has good temperature resistance but may deform at higher temperatures compared to polycarbonate.
- PC has excellent temperature resistance and can withstand higher temperatures without deforming.

Transparency:
-PP Usually not as transparent as polycarbonate.
-PC Known for its optical clarity, making it suitable for items like transparent containers.

Use in Food Storage:
- PP:Commonly used for food containers, especially those intended for microwave use due to its heat resistance.
- PC: Also used for food containers, but it may not be suitable for microwave use if it contains BPA.

BPA Concerns:
- PP:Generally considered safe and does not contain BPA.
- PC: Cambro camwear contain BPA, which has raised some health concerns when used in products that come into contact with food and beverages.

I agree with them. The nicer cambros restaurants use are polycarbonate. It's clear, stain resistant, shatter proof hard plastic. The problem is that it's not BPA free like this material.

These appear to be the softer more opaque plastic version. Pass unfortunately. Love Cambro.

These are harder than Chinese restaurant takeout order containers. I used one for an egg container. You can fit a Walmart-grade 60-large egg in one container.

Theoretically yes, but I wouldn't recommend it. Far too small to be practical. I use a 12qt square Cambro container for mine and I have often wished it was bigger.

I use these to keep my dough in the fridge until I need to bake. It's the perfect size.

Are these too flimsy for paint containers?
