Requirements for raw materials of non-woven fabrics - PP(Polypropylene)

2022-02-25

1.Polypropylene chips are commonly used in spunbond non-woven fabrics and melt blown non-woven fabrics

The raw material of polypropylene chips used in spunbond and meltblown production line is spinning grade polypropylene (PP) chip, and its specific properties are as follows:

(1).Melt index(MFI):25 ~ 40g / 10min for spunbond method   400~1500g/10min for meltblown method

(2)Relative molecular weight distribution width(Mw/Mn):<4~5

(3)Melting point:164~170℃(The melting point of pure isotactic polypropylene is 176℃)

(4)Density:0.91g/cm3

(5)Isotacticity:Not less than 96%

(6)Ash content:Not more than 0.025% (weight)

(7)Moisture content:Not higher than 0.05%(weight)

(8)The appearance is smooth, the particle size is uniform, and there is no continuous particle phenomenon.


2.Selection of raw materials

The raw materials used in the nonwoven production line are related to the market positioning and purpose of the products. When producing products in the low-end market, due to the low requirements for raw materials, inferior raw materials can be selected in order to reduce production costs. vice versa.

Most spunbond nonwoven fabric production lines use granular polypropylene (PP) chips, but a considerable number of small nonwoven production lines use powdered PP raw materials, and some nonwoven production lines use recycled polypropylene raw materials. In addition to granular raw materials, the meltblown nonwoven fabric production line may also use spherical raw materials.

The price of slice is directly related to the size of MFI value. Generally, the larger the MFI value, the higher the price. Therefore, we should comprehensively consider the production process, equipment characteristics, product use, product sales price, production cost and other factors to select the raw materials.
