Polypropylene fiber, also known as polyethylene fiber, can be divided into long and short fibers and spun bonded and melt blown non-woven fabrics. The long and short fibers have better luster and feel more comfortable. They are mostly used to make high-end sports clothes. Spunbonded and melt blown nonwovens are commonly used in the fields of medical or thermal materials.
Polypropylene fiber is characterized by light texture, suitable for making skiwear and other clothing fabrics, good strength, the same in dry and wet state, good elasticity, can restore to the original state in time, also very resistant to friction and corrosion, generally not damaged, with good insulation and warmth retention.
But the heat resistance of polypropylene fiber is poor, so the clothes made of polypropylene fiber generally can't be ironed, and it's easy to age, and it's not easy to dye polypropylene fabric, because the fabric is not easy to wet.
