1. What is
Polypropylene
Spunbond Fabric?
Polypropylene spunbond fabric (PP Non woven Fabric) is a nonwoven fabric
made from polypropylene fibers. It is a versatile and widely used material due
to its unique properties and cost-effectiveness.

2. Understanding the
Manufacturing Process
1
Extrusion
Polypropylene pellets are melted and extruded through a
spinneret to create continuous filaments.
2
Laying
The filaments are laid down in a web, forming a continuous
sheet of fibers.
3
Bonding
The fibers are bonded together using heat or chemical
treatment to create a strong, nonwoven fabric.

3. Key Properties of Polypropylene Spunbond
Strength & Durability
High tensile strength and tear
resistance make it suitable for
various applications.
Lightweight & Breathable
Its lightweight nature and breathable
properties are ideal for applications
requiring airflow.
Water Resistance & Moisture
Barrier
Polypropylene spunbond is inherently
water-resistant, offering a barrier
against moisture.

4. Applications of Polypropylene
Spunbond Fabric
1
Agriculture
Used as row covers, ground covers, and weed barriers in agriculture.
2
Construction
Serves as a protective layer for insulation, roofing, and waterproofing.
3
Packaging & Shipping
Used for bags, sacks, and wrapping materials, protecting goods during
transport.
4
Medical & Healthcare
Used for gowns, drapes, masks, and other medical supplies.
