Polypropylene

Applications
Fibers and Fabrics



Polypropylene yarns and fabrics perform well in a broad range of fiber and textile applications including cordage, netting, and woven bags. For fabrics, polypropylene provides moisture wicking properties for added comfort in outdoor apparel.

Product Attributes
  • Outstanding product consistency: pellet to pellet and lot to lot
  • High speed spinning capability
  • High tenacity products

Typical Applications
  • Carpet backing
  • Woven bags
  • Upholstery
  • Sports apparel
  • Tying and baling twines


Slit Film Tapes

Careful tailoring of polymer properties and components result in very low die-drool, low water carryover, excellent gauge uniformity, and tensile properties of slit tapes produced with ExxonMobil polypropylene. These properties help you manufacture slip tapes with high material consistency and predictable, stable performance.


Continuous Filament Yarns

ExxonMobil polypropylenes are very well suited for high-speed processing of moderate to high tenacity continuous filament yarns. Our polypropylene offerings have been tailored to perform well in both partially oriented yarns (POY) and fully oriented yarns (FOY). Achieve propylene polymers, produced using ExxonMobil's Exxpol technology, have a narrow molecular weight distribution and extremely low levels of oils and waxes. Achieve propylene polymers also allow faster processing speeds and provide higher yarn tenacity than conventional resins.
