Application Areas | edit

The all-round properties of polypropylene fibre and the ability to ‘tailor’ its properties to meet particular end-use requirements makes it ideally suited for many applications.

Duralene polypropylene yarn is strong, colourfast, and inherently resistant to stains and soils, abrasion, mildew, perspiration, and inclement weather. These qualities make it an ideal fibre for home upholstery, automotive, contract furniture, carpets, apparel and industrial applications. Polypropylene applications for apparel include denim jeans, activewear, undergarments and socks, and industrial products such as ropes, webbings, filter fabrics, and geotextiles.

About Polypropylene | edit

Polypropylene has the lowest specific gravity of all fibres (0.91), making it the lightest of all textile fibres. Low specific gravity also means that it takes 20% to 41% less polypropylene fibre to produce “fill” and densities equivalent to fabrics made from nylon,acrylic, polyester, rayon/acetate, cotton or wool.
