Polypropylene carbonate is soluble in polar solvents like lower ketones, ethyl acetate, dichloromethane and chlorinated hydrocarbons and insoluble in solvents like alcohols, water, and aliphatic hydrocarbons.

The glass temperature of PPC is slightly greater than polyethylene carbonate (PEC).

It is used as a sacrificial binder in the ceramic industry, which decomposes and evaporates during sintering.

It has a low sodium content which makes it suitable for the preparation of electroceramics like dielectric materials and piezoelectric ceramics.

One of the largest manufacturers of polypropylene carbonate is Empower Materials, located in New Castle, DE, USA.
