I'm looking for a good blade diffuser. The problem is that cellophane is rather different from polypropylene film, yet the latter is quite often sold as cellophane. Which is better for saber construction? Is there a significant difference in the material properties for this application?

As near as I've found... no significant difference.

The key word is significant. :) The other key words/contraction is "I've". I am not certain what others have found, but... that's just me.

as long as they are clear they both work great, I am pretty sure it's just a different name for the same item:)

They are of 2 different properties, the cellophane is biodegradable while the polypropylene is not;

cellophane:
regenerated cellulose in thin transparent sheets used especially for packaging


polypropylene:
any of various thermoplastic plastics or fibers that are polymers of propylene

So, you want to go with polypro. ;)

Polypro is also easier to roll because it has less static ;)
