- WeWow Ltd - Plastic CD/DVD Packaging - Polystyrene vs Polypropylene (Doesn't seem that great of a source upon further inspection, will leave it regardless]
- Accelerated Aging Tests of Plastics and maybe a glance at their various "strengths" /
- Quick check, and at least as per This Page by "Omnexus" Short of High Impact Polystyrene and various reinforced composites, Polypropylene should be stronger, at least in the quantitative data Charpy Impact Test / Izod Impact Strength Test
- Granted as per This Xometry Page it seems that without knowing the "secret sauce" it can very quite a bit. Still though outside of optical clarity it seems with the right selection Polypropylene would still win out.
