What are the application fields of polypropylene FDY network filament?

polypropylene FDY network filament has been widely applied in multiple fields due to its high strength, good adhesion, chemical resistance, lightweight and other properties. The following is a detailed introduction to its main application scenarios:

I. Industrial textiles field

This is the most core application field of polypropylene FDY network filament, due to its outstanding mechanical properties and environmental resistance advantages:

Geosynthetics: They are used in the production of geotextiles, geogrids, etc. With their high strength (breaking strength can reach 4-8 CN /dtex) and resistance to acid and alkali corrosion, they play a role in reinforcement and isolation in scenarios such as water conservancy projects, highway subgrade reinforcement, and landfill anti-seepage.

Filter materials: Made into filter cloth and filter screens, they are used for industrial wastewater filtration and air dust removal (such as desulfurization filtration in power plants). Their surfaces are smooth, not prone to adhering impurities, and have heat resistance (able to withstand temperatures above 100℃ for a short period of time), making them suitable for most industrial environments.

Packaging materials: Base fabric for producing bulk bags and ton bags. The cohesion of the network filament ensures the stability of the fabric structure. The lightweight feature reduces transportation costs, while the puncture resistance protects the goods inside (such as granular chemical raw materials and ores).

Ii. Decorative and home textile fields

Curtains and sunshade fabrics: Fabrics made of polypropylene FDY network filament have excellent UV resistance and weather resistance, making them suitable for outdoor sunshades and balcony curtains. Moreover, they have strong color stability (can be colored through color masterbatches and are not prone to fading).

Carpets and floor MATS: The fluffiness and wear resistance of web fibers are moderate, and they are often used in low-end to mid-range carpets (such as car floor MATS and door floor MATS). Their easy-to-clean and mold-resistant properties are superior to some natural fibers.

Sofa cover and cushion fabric: Made through weaving or knitting processes to imitate cotton and linen styles, it is both crisp and lightweight, suitable for modern and simple style homes, and the price is lower than that of similar polyester and nylon products.

Iii. Agriculture and Fishery Sector

Agricultural covering materials: We produce insect-proof nets and sunshade nets. The breathability and anti-aging properties of the network wires (the service life can reach 3-5 years after adding antioxidants) meet the needs of crop seedling raising and sun protection, and the cost is lower than that of polyethylene nets.

Fishing nets and aquaculture nets: The density of polypropylene material is less than that of water (0.91g/cm³), and the fishing nets made from it have floating properties, making them suitable for freshwater aquaculture or nearshore fishing. The nodules of the network filament have high strength, better impact resistance than nylon mesh, and are resistant to seawater corrosion.

Iv. Clothing and Home Textile Accessories Field

Interlinings and linings: Used for clothing interlinings and suit interlinings, the stiffness and low shrinkage rate (boiling water shrinkage rate 3%-5%) of polypropylene FDY network filament ensure the stability of the clothing pattern, and its lightweight feature enhances wearing comfort.

Sewing thread and hemming thread: The cohesion of the web thread prevents the thread from fuzzing or breaking, making it suitable for sewing clothing with medium and low strength requirements (such as sportswear and children's clothing), and its cost is lower than that of polyester high-strength thread.

V. Other special fields

Medical and health care products: The fabric for making disposable surgical gowns and isolation suits, the chemical resistance (resistant to disinfectants such as alcohol and iodophor) and hydrophobicity of polypropylene can provide basic protection, and the network filament structure can also enhance the breathability of the fabric.

Automobile interior: The interlayer fabric used for the backrests of car seats and the inner linings of door panels has flame retardancy (reaching UL94 V-2 grade after adding flame retardants) and temperature resistance that adapt to the interior environment, while reducing the weight of the interior to save energy consumption.

Summary of Application Advantages

The core competitiveness of polypropylene FDY web filament lies in its high cost performance (raw material cost is lower than that of polyester and nylon) and strong functional adaptability (it can be modified to meet the needs of different scenarios). Especially in fields that are sensitive to cost and have requirements for strength and weather resistance (such as industrial fabrics and agricultural web materials), it is irreplaceable. With the upgrading of technology (such as fine denier and functional modification), its application scope is also expanding into high-end fields (such as high-end filter materials and environmentally friendly packaging).
