How much do you know about the development history of PP fibre?

The relative density of PP fibre is 0.91g/m3, which is 40% lighter than cotton and 34% lighter than polyester. It is the least dense fiber and the only fiber that can float on the water surface. Moreover, since the heat conductivity of the polypropylene itself is very low, the temperature can be kept to a maximum extent, and the fabric of the warmth series made of polypropylene is used. In the 21st century, polypropylene will become more than the world's second chemical fiber. Among them, the development speed of polypropylene fine-denier filaments is the most remarkable.

At present, PP fibres have been increasingly favored by people, especially in recent years, due to the gradual reduction of world cotton production, the price of cotton fabrics has also increased, and polypropylene is the most in addition to cotton, linen, silk and other fabrics. The close-fitting fiber, its breathable, light weight, warmth, single-guide wet, deodorant and antibacterial properties, polypropylene fiber fabrics are sought after and it is understandable.

Polypropylene, the raw material of PP fibre, is also greatly improved due to the development of industrialization in China. At present, China's annual production and processing of polypropylene has exceeded 100 tons, accounting for only 1/10 of the proportion of all chemical fiber, while polypropylene mining in the United States accounts for 34% of the total, and in the West it is mostly 27%. From this point of view, China's polypropylene market prospects are very broad and there is a lot of room for development. The international price of polypropylene filament has reached 20,000 US dollars / ton. Due to the excellent properties of polypropylene filament, it has become a hot spot in the world.

Although there are still shortcomings in technology and production, we believe that China's polypropylene market will have unlimited prospects in the future!
