With new environmentally friendly plastic variants available, we introduce you to Polypropylene Spunbond nonwoven fabric. PP or Polypropylene is a thermoplastic polymer resin used widely across industries. Among the eco-friendliness of non woven fabrics, that of Polypropylene is the highest.
What are PP spunbond nonwoven fabrics?
PP as a material is resistant to stains and wear. The chemical inertness of the fabric makes it an excellent choice for use in acidic environments. The spunbond nonwoven fabric is made through a process of fibers spun and dispersed into a web-like deflector. Airstreams can be employed for better dispersion.
The end product requirement determines if the prepared fabric has to be prepared in sheet or web structures. The interlinked network of the PP spunbond non woven fabrics gives its characteristics properties.
The characteristics of PP spunbond nonwoven fabric:
- The fabric has a three-layered structure.
- The intensive branching of the fibers offers a primary waterproofing layer.
- The material has a low-temperature resistance.
- The material is resistant to chemical attack, corrosion, microbial attack.
