What are the characteristics of polypropylene short fibers?

Polypropylene staple fiber will be used in all walks of life, widely used in Geotextile, non-woven fabric, non-woven fabric, wool, polypropylene yarn, carpet and other textile industries. PP polypropylene staple fiber is a fluffy fiber with specified size and length, which is made of polypropylene resin as the main raw material through melt spinning, drafting, crimping, drying, shaping, cutting and packaging.


Characteristics of polypropylene staple fibers:

1. Low density

Among all Synthetic fiber, the density is relatively low, about 0.91g/cm3, so its weight is very light, and the area covered by fibers per unit weight is large.

2. Polypropylene short fibers have high strength

The strength of polypropylene staple fiber is similar to that of high strength Synthetic fiber such as polyester and nylon, but the wet strength is almost unchanged, superior to that of nylon.

3. Polypropylene short fibers are not only wear-resistant but also corrosion-resistant

The flat wear resistance is second only to nylon, but the bending wear resistance is slightly poor. Corrosion resistance: it has obvious stability to Mineral acid and alkali.

4. Almost non hygroscopic.

Polypropylene fiber is almost non hygroscopic, with a moisture regain of less than 0.03%, a low shrinkage rate of the fabric, and a strong wicking effect of fine denier polypropylene fiber.

5. Excellent conductivity and insulation

Polypropylene short fibers have high electrical resistivity (710cm) and low thermal conductivity. Compared with other chemical fibers, polypropylene fiber has good electrical and thermal insulation properties, but is prone to generating static electricity during processing.

6. Anti aging

Low melting point of olefins (165-173), poor stability to light and heat. So it has poor heat resistance and aging resistance, and is not resistant to ironing. But the anti-aging property can be improved by adding antioxidant in the spinning process.


Hubei Botao Synthetic Fiber Co., Ltd., founded in October 2000 and located in Jingmen City, Hubei Province, is specialized in the production and sales of polypropylene fiber, polyester fiber, composite fiber and polylactic acid staple fiber. Its products are mainly used in non-woven fabric, automobile interior, Geotextile, carpet, filtration and other industries. The company has introduced multiple imported fiber production lines, with fixed assets exceeding 300 million yuan, annual production of 100000 tons of polypropylene short fibers, 20000 tons of polyester short fibers, and 10000 tons of composite fibers, with an annual output value exceeding 800 million yuan. Focusing on the field of Synthetic fiber for more than 20 years, Botao Synthetic Fiber has won outstanding market achievements and extensive honors with the attitude of excellence and honest development.
