Polypropylene PP R#5 is highly resistant to solvents, thus it cannot be glued in the same way that PVC can, wherein the surface is prepped using a solvent primer. It can only be joined or ultra-sonicly welded. A workaround exists utilizing a thermal adhesion process to treat the surface with a thin film of another more suitable plastic. One such company is listed below.
For the enthusiast, I recommend abrading the surface of both objects with a coarse wood file before using 2 part epoxy to form a mechanical bond. The two surfaces should be clamped together or placed under a large weight as this will create a thinner bonding layer further increasing sheer strength. Use lots though, and wipe up the excess which is pressed out. A flat rubber mat such as a mouse pad or rubber from a holy innertube placed between the objects and the weight or clamped surfaces will ensure more uniform compression. This is a new skill that takes practice, so do a few test pieces before working on your final product.
CAUTION: Do not use a heat source at any time while using epoxy or solvents as there is a risk of fire or explosion. Always use solvents in a well ventilated area free from any electrical device which could cause a spark.

There is no glue in polypropylene.
With a silicone or silicone based glue such as Goop or E 6000.
With a polycarbonate glue. Try Weld On # 3 or #16.
Polypropylene was invented specifically to be glue resistant. You will not find any normal glue to stick it in my opinion. However I have heard (but haven't tested) that a really hot glue gun will repair polypropylene. This seems a feasible idea, and I'd suggest you try it.

I cannot find any record of cyclohexanone gluing polypropylene. -Personally I would doubt it as this is an oily type of solvent, and polypropylene was actually made to be solvent resistant. Polypropylene is usually joined by 'hot air welding' in which a thin stick is actually welded onto it much like metal welding. see related link for more information
You would need to use a special glue. There are 2 types that may work, both available in Walmart ,sporting goods Dept. They are intended to fix rubber water craft and wet suits.
Polypropylene is not dissolved in ethanol.
I've never heard anyone call polypropylene antifreeze. Polypropylene is a type of plastic.
To bond polypropylene surfaces, first prepare the surfaces by treating them with a primer. Then apply the proper bonding agent. The process is fairly similar to bonding PVC.(Note: to further enhance the bond, light surface abrasion can be used before priming)ANS 2 - You glue polypropylene with 3M DP 8005. -BUT it's not cheap !
Polypropylene float on oil.
Yes polypropylene will rust because the air is congaus.
