Polypropylene
is one of those rather versatile polymers that serve double duty,
both as a plastic and as a fiber.
The
most important property of polypropylene is its versatility. It
can be tailored to many fabrication methods and applications. Excellent
chemical resistance, the lowest density, highest melting point (in
the family of olefin fibers), and moderate cost make it an important
fiber in industrial applications.
