ACMA00031829 |
| Description |
A manufactured fiber in which the fiber-forming substance is a long-chain synthetic polymer composed of at least 85% by weight of propylene units. |
| Melting Point |
~330°F / 165°C |
| Application |
Short cut Polypropylene fibers are used for toughness, tear resistance, stiffness, and bulk in nonwovens and specialty papers. |
| Cut Length |
1/4” (6mm); other lengths available upon request |
| Feature |
One of the lightest of all fibers. Low moistureabsorption. Retains 100% tensile strength when wet. Not attacked by microorganisms, mold or mildew. Excellent resistance to acids and alkalis. Low thermal conductivity. Very little tendency to aquire static charge. |
| Moisture Content |
Average Moisture Absorption: <0.1% |
| Notes |
Shrinkage, 130°C, 10 min: <4.0% |
| Packaging |
Fiber is packaged in corrugated boxes with polyethylene liners. Custom packaging available upon request. |
