PP staple fiber also called polypropylene staple fiber, GT have manufactured PP fibers for many years with consistent quality & competitive cost. PP fiber owns a number of advantages over other man-made fibers, and now GT have produced PP fiber for a wide range of application in nonwoven, such as geotextile, automotive industry, concrete reinforcement etc.
Below is specification range for PP fiber:

ADVANTAGES OF PP FIBER :
1. low specific gravity, so it provides more bulk and warmth for less weight
2. lowest thermal conductivity among all natural or synthetic fibres, so polypropylene fibres have excellent insulative properties in apparel, and combined with its hydrophobic nature keeps wearer dry and warm.
3. excellent anti static performance
4. Resistant to bacteria and micro-organisms
5. recyclable, ecologically freindly
6. quick drying
7. good resistance to acids, alkalis and other chemicals, as well as to rot, mildew, and bacterial
8. colorfastness, when color is introduced in the melt (solution dyed) the color is inherent in the produce, it will not bleed or fade.
Product Use
Due to the advantages of PP staple fiber, it is widely used in below fields:
1. hygiene products
2. geotextile
3. commercial or technical carpets
4. spunlace
5. fabrics
6. concret reinforcement
