How is polypropylene fibre made?

However, as opposed to other commodity fibres, its use as apparel and household textiles has been rather limited; the bulk of the fibre produced is used for industrial applications. WHAT IS POLYPROPYLENE? Polypropylene (PP) is a thermoplastic. It is a linear structure based on the monomer CnH2n. read more

Polypropylene fibre burns and presents much the same risks as most other man-made textile fibres. It is difficult to ignite, and is defined as combustible but not highly inflammable. It can, however, be rendered flame-retardant by the incorporation of additives. read more

Polypropylene (PP), also known as polypropene, is a thermoplastic polymer used in a wide variety of applications. It is an addition polymer made via chain-growth polymerization from the monomer propylene. read more

PP fiber is a made by polymerization of monomer propylene with the help of the catalyst. Propylene is the base monomer and is gaseous at room temperature which is used for PP production. There are many commercial technologies that are used for making pp polymer. read more
