Polypropylene yarn: Outstanding properties of synthetic fiber material!

Polypropylene yarn, as a synthetic fiber yarn, is made of polypropylene as the main raw material through a specific spinning process. Polypropylene is a common thermoplastic polymer with a wide range of sources and relatively low cost, which gives Polypropylene yarn a unique economic advantage among many fiber materials.

Polypropylene yarn has many excellent characteristics. The first is the excellent lightweight, its density of about 0.91g/cm3, is one of the lightest varieties of common fibers, this feature makes the use of polypropylene yarn made of products significantly reduced weight, in some applications with strict weight requirements, such as outdoor sports equipment. Secondly, the strength of polypropylene yarn is high, the wear resistance is good, the fabric or products made are not easy to break in daily use, and can withstand a certain degree of friction and pulling, extending the service life. Moreover, Polypropylene yarn has good chemical stability and strong tolerance to chemical substances such as acid and alkali, and can be used to make filtration materials and protective supplies in the chemical industry. In addition, it also has a good core suction effect, that is, it can quickly transfer moisture from one side of the fabric to the other side, and the moisture drainage is strong, which makes the clothes made of polypropylene yarn dry and comfortable, suitable for sports clothing and some functional clothes that need to sweat quickly. At the same time, Polypropylene yarn also has the characteristics of good electrical insulation and good heat preservation.

The production process of Polypropylene yarn mainly includes slice spinning and melt-jet spinning. Chip spinning is to make polypropylene raw materials into slices, through drying, melting, spinning, stretching and other processes, and finally form polypropylene yarn. The polypropylene yarn produced by this process has stable quality and uniform fiber thickness, and can be used to weave a variety of conventional fabrics, such as clothing fabrics and industrial fabrics. Melt-jet spinning is the use of high-speed hot air to melt polypropylene directly blown into very fine fibers, and in the spinneret near the mutual adhesion to form nonwoven fabric, this process to produce thinner polypropylene fibers, often used in the production of respirator filter layer, hygiene products and other products with high requirements for fiber fineness and filtration performance.

Polypropylene yarn has a wide range of applications. In the field of clothing, it is often used to make sportswear, thermal underwear, etc., using its wet and fast drying and warm characteristics to provide consumers with a comfortable wearing experience. In the industrial field, it can be used to manufacture ropes, fishing nets, geotextiles and so on. Ropes and fishing nets need to have high strength and wear resistance, Polypropylene yarn just meet these requirements; Geotextile makes use of the chemical stability and good mechanical properties of polypropylene yarn, which plays a role in strengthening, filtering and drainage in water conservancy projects, road construction and other projects. In the medical and health field, non-woven fabrics made of Polypropylene yarn are used to produce disposable surgical gowns, masks, sanitary wipes and other products, and their good filtration performance and chemical stability ensure the quality and safety of medical and health products. In addition, in the field of decoration, polypropylene yarn can also be used to make carpets, curtains, etc., to add beauty and practicality to the home environment.

With the continuous progress of science and technology and the improvement of people's requirements for material properties, the performance of polypropylene yarn is also constantly optimized and improved. In the future, Polypropylene yarn is expected to play an important role in more fields, providing strong support for the development of various industries.
