What is polypropylene

Polypropylene fabric is a non-woven textile, which means it is made directly from the material without any spinning weaving.

 

Properties of Polypropylene Fabrics

The main advantage of polypropylene as a fabric is its ability to transfer moisture; this textile can not absorb any moisture. Instead, the moisture passes completely through the polypropylene fabric, so this fabric is very popular in textiles.

Polypropylene fabric is one of the lightest synthetic fibers available and is incredibly resistant to most acids and alkalis. Also, this substance has a lower thermal conductivity than most synthetic fibers, making it ideal for cold weather and outdoor furniture protection.

This fabric is highly abrasion-resistant and also resistant to insects and other pests. Moreover, with thermoplasticity, it is easy to form various shapes and patterns, and it is not easy to crack.  

 

How to use polypropylene

Polypropylene fabrics are commonly used in the textile industry where moisture transfer is required. For example, this type of plastic is used to make top layers such as throw pillows, placemats or floor mats to ensure that there is no moisture contact, thus protecting the interior of the product. It is also widely used in diapers for infants and young children, through polypropylene to ensure that no moisture comes into contact with the baby's skin, there by reducing the possibility of developing a rash.
