Polypropylene fibres are synthetic fibres made from Polypropylene. The most important properties of polypropylene fibres are its low density and low softening temperature range and its hydrophobic nature and for many years its low cost. Recently the rising global Propylene price has tended to reduced its competitiveness with other fibres – particularly Polyester Fibre. Polypropylene is used as staple and filament fibres, film tapes and spun bonded fabrics. Major uses are in rugs and carpets both as face fibre and primary and secondary carpet backing and in non-woven fabrics for hygiene products where it’s very low absorbency and softness make it first choice for coverstock. It is also used in non-woven fabrics for medical uses, for geotextiles and for bulk storage bags.
