Polypropylene pipe is used specifically for what?

  1. laboratory drain applications

  2. industrial water transport

  3. residential sewage systems

  4. garden irrigation systems

The correct answer is: laboratory drain applications

Polypropylene pipe is a durable and corrosion-resistant material commonly used for laboratory drain applications. It is able to withstand exposure to harsh chemicals and high temperatures, making it a suitable choice for use in laboratories. The other options, while possibly also using polypropylene pipes in some cases, are not specifically noted or commonly associated with the use of this material. For example, while industrial water transport pipes may also use polypropylene, it is not the only material used for this purpose and there are other options that may be better suited for this application. Similarly, while polypropylene pipes may be used in residential sewage systems and garden irrigation systems, these are not the most common or specialized uses for this material. Therefore, the best and most specific answer is A laboratory drain applications.
