Features, advantages, and benefits
POLYPROPYLENE yarn has myriad benefits which have made it a popular material choice amongst manufacturers and Buyers likewise.
Stain resistant – No fear of dropped food and spilled drinks like coffee or red wine; smudges are easy to wipe off with a damp cloth.
Chemically Inert – PP is almost a non-reactive fiber, having excellent chemical resistance to acids and alkalis.
Water resistant - Do you have a swimming pool outside? Consider covering the patio around it with a polypropylene rug. The moisture regain of polypropylene fibers is so small as to be insignificant, and water has almost no effect on tensile strength, nor does it cause any noticeable degradation in the fibers.
Resistant to mold and fungi – Polypropylene fiber does not support the growth of mildew, fungi, or bacteria. It cannot be digested by insects and related pests, such as white ants, dermestid beetles, silverfish, and moth larvae.
Solution dyed & color fastness– The only possible way to dye the polypropylene fiber is solution/ dope dyeing. It cannot be dyed conventionally. Hence, the colors stay vibrant for a very long time.
Light Weight – The density of polypropylene is quite low (0.91 g/cc), compared to other synthetic, polyester (PET) for instance (1.38 g/cc). The diameter of PP fiber is therefore proportionally higher than the polyester fiber of the same denier. As a result, thicker and bulkier Rugs are made with PP, for a given count of yarn and area density.
Durable and strong - made to handle extreme weather conditions, and messes; polypropylene rugs are good choices for an outdoor environment.
Easy to clean - they are easy to maintain as don’t absorb the grime and dirt particles stay above.
Effect of sunlight – The addition of UV stabilizers during the solution dyeing process helps polypropylene fibers resist polymer degradation in UV light
