PROPERTIES OF PPSF

PPSF has following unique properties :
1.  Lowest specific gravity of 0.91 (provides excellent covering).
2.  Negligible Moisture absorption (0.05%).
3.  Provides very warm feel (warmer than wool and acrylic).
4.  Fabric containing PPSF wicks away moisture from skin to atomsphere due to the capillary action.
5.  PPSF is resistant to many acids, alkalies and solvents.
6.  PPSF is resistant to attack of mildew/moths/insects and a wide range of      bacteria.
7.  Not prone to static charge generation.
8.  PPSF is dope- dyed in various shades/colours and there will not be any      variation between fibre lots of the same shade.
9.  Not subject to light degradation, if UV Stabilized.
10. Highly resilient fibre.
11. PPSF is available in round cross-section and also in Trilobal shape (for      superior sparkle/luster.)

Fibre Applications :
Finer Denier PPSF Denier range of 2.5 to 3 in Natural white is used for spinning yarns which go into Filter Fabrics. Also, finer denier PPSF is used in non-woven Geo-Textile and in Hygenic Products.
Other major applications of finer denier PPSF are in thermal bonded fabrics, thermal insulations, Dref-2 yarns for Filter Cartridges, Blankets, carpet backing yarn etc.

Coarser Denier PPSF of 10 to 15 Denier is used in floor non-woven carpets, automobile floor mats etc.
PPSF cut into smaller cut lengths like 6mm, 10mm, and 20mm, are used in the building construction industry and also in asbestos sheet/pipes.
