What is PP Spunbond and how it's made?
PP spunbond, also known as polypropylene spunbond, is a non-woven fabric made from polypropylene fibers. The process of creating PP spunbond involves extruding molten polypropylene through fine nozzles, which then solidifies and forms filaments. These filaments are then laid down in a random pattern and bonded together using heat and pressure.
PP spunbond has many applications due to its properties, such as being lightweight, strong, and breathable. It is commonly used in the manufacturing of hygiene products like diapers and sanitary napkins, as well as in the medical industry for items such as surgical gowns and face masks. It is also used in the construction industry for roofing and insulation, as well as in agriculture for crop coverings and weed barriers. Additionally, it can be used in various packaging applications, such as for wrapping furniture and electronics, and in the production of shopping bags.
ExtraTEX offer PP Spunbond in weight range between 10 g/m² to 180 g/m² and width between 2 cm and 320 cm.
PP spunbond can be made in different colors by adding masterbatches to the polymer resin before it is extruded. The masterbatches are blends of pigments and additives that are specifically designed to be compatible with the polymer resin. ExtraTEX uses the following base colours for nonwoven spunbond:
