Among various synthetic fibers, this short fiber made from polypropylene is quietly emerging as an "invisible champion" in multiple fields such as textiles, non-woven fabrics, and engineering materials, thanks to its unique combination of properties. What exactly is it capable of and what changes can it bring to your industry?

Core advantage: Outstanding performance derived from the material

The success of polypropylene staple fibers is rooted in their material nature. It is lightweight and is one of the lightest common fibers, effectively reducing the weight of the final product. It has excellent hydrophobic and moisture-wicking properties, can quickly sweat and keep dry. This characteristic makes it highly favored among functional fabrics. Meanwhile, polypropylene has excellent resistance to acids, alkalis and mold, and is more adaptable to the environment. More importantly, compared with other synthetic fibers, its production process is relatively energy-saving and in line with the trend of green manufacturing.

Application Deepening: Blooming in multiple areas from daily life to high-end

With these characteristics, the application of polypropylene staple fibers has long surpassed traditional understanding:

In the textile field: It is a key additive component for functional fabrics such as sportswear, underwear, and socks, enhancing comfort. The products modified by dyeing are also widely used in home decoration fabrics.

Non-woven fabric industry: As a basic raw material for hygiene materials (such as baby diapers and sanitary napkins), medical protective supplies, and filtration materials, it stands out for its outstanding cost performance.

Industrial materials: They play a significant role in geotextiles and engineering reinforcing materials, thanks to their durability and stability.

Filling material: It is the preferred choice for filling cotton in sofas, cushions and toys, being fluffy and easy to care for.

Key selection: Focus on indicators and match demands

How to select high-quality polypropylene staple fibers? Key focus:

Fineness and length: Precisely selected based on the subsequent spinning or non-woven fabric process requirements.

Strength and elongation: They are related to the durability and shape stability of the final product.

Curling and friction coefficient: Affect the cohesion and processability of fibers.

Special functions: Whether anti-static, antibacterial, flame-retardant and other modified functions are required.

At present, the polypropylene staple fiber industry is developing rapidly in the directions of fine denier, functionalization, high performance and environmental protection. Through blending, modification and other technologies, the application boundaries are constantly broken through.

Hubei Botao Synthetic Fiber Co., Ltd. was established in November 2002 and is located in Jingmen High-tech Industrial Development Zone, covering an area of 300,000 square meters. It has five subsidiaries. Our company is a professional manufacturer and seller of polypropylene, polyester, composite fibers, polyethylene fibers, polylactic acid staple fibers and various non-woven fabrics. Our main products are widely used in automotive interiors, geotextiles, carpets, filtration, hygiene, spinning and other industries. By 2024, the company's production capacity of polypropylene staple fiber will be over 150,000 tons and that of polyester staple fiber will be 20,000 tons. After more than 20 years of unremitting efforts in the manufacturing of polypropylene fibers, it has ranked among the top three in terms of sales revenue and market share for five consecutive years. It is currently one of the top three suppliers in terms of the production capacity of polypropylene staple fibers. On December 25, 2024, the company received a letter of approval for listing from the National Equities Exchange and Quotations Company.
