Polypropylene fabrics for industrial filters
Technofabric: Custom production of Polypropylene fabrics
Polypropylene is a type of plastic that is made from the polymerization of propylene, a gas derived from petroleum. This plastic has many qualities that make it useful for doing many different things in industry.
This plastic weighs little, has a density of about 0.9 g/cm3 which is less than other plastics such as polyethylene or PVC. In this way, more material can be used with the same weight and save on production and transportation costs .
Polypropylene resists heat because it melts only at about 160 °C, which is more than other plastics such as polyethylene or PVC. Thus it will not warp or be damaged if it is exposed to high temperatures. It also resists many chemicals, such as alkaline solutions, weak acids, alcohols and oils. So it can be used in environments where there are substances that can attack other plastics.
It is a material that can be easily processed. In fact, it can be made into various objects using processes such as extrusion, injection, blow moulding or thermoforming. In this way you can give the material the shape and size you want.Polypropylene can also be oriented, that is, stretching the molecular chains in a preferred direction. Thus one can improve its mechanical qualities, such as strength or stiffness.
Polypropylene can also be oriented, that is, stretching the molecular chains in a preferred direction. Thus one can improve its mechanical qualities, such as strength or stiffness. Many items in the industrial sector can be made with polypropylene: packaging, textiles, mechanical components, sanitary ware.
Some technical characteristics of Polypropylene fabrics for industrial filters are:
They are lightweight, because polypropylene has a low density compared with other plastics.
They are heat resistant, because polypropylene has a high melting point compared with other plastics.
They are resistant to many chemicals, such as alkaline solutions, weak acids, alcohols, and oils.
They are easily processed, because polypropylene can be made into various products by processes such as extrusion, injection, blow moulding, or thermoforming.
They are orientable, that is, they can increase their mechanical properties by stretching molecular chains in a preferred direction.
Industrial filters made of polypropylene are used in various sectors of industry, including:
The food industry, to protect and preserve food products from contamination or alteration.
The chemical industry, to filter or separate liquid or gaseous substances.
The textile industry, to filter or purify water used in textile dyeing or washing processes.
The health care industry, to filter or sterilized air or fluids used in medical or surgical devices.
Technofabric S.p.A. is a textile company specialized in the production of a wide range of fabrics for industrial and technical applications. Our strength is vertical integration, which means that we have control over the entire production process, from yarn production to the creation of finished fabrics. This allows us to maintain high quality standards and provide customized solutions to our customers.
Technofabric works with various types of yarn, including aramid, nylon, high tenacity polyester, carbon, and cotton. Each type of yarn has its own unique properties and applications, and Technofabric exploits these materials to create fabrics with specific characteristics and performance. Technofabric's expertise lies in turning ideas into functional, high-performance fabrics. We have the ability to develop tailor-made fabrics to meet customers' particular needs, whether it be durability, strength, flexibility or otherwise.
In addition to their technical capabilities, Technofabric prioritises the value it provides the customer. We are committed to understanding their needs and goals, and then creating fabrics that not only meet those requirements but also exceed expectations in terms of quality, performance, and reliability.
