Can someone tell me what kind of plastic this is as seen in pics on the outter body of the Sicce Syncra 2.0. The pump plastic cracked near the fitting and caused a leak. I am planning on gluing the pvc fitting to the pump directly but the plastic that the pump is housed in doesn't look like pvc. What glue would work best here incase of dissimilar plastics?

Is there a marking or symbol anywhere on the bottom of the pump indicating what type of plastic its using?

I have a feeling it might be polypropylene
