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.

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