When we find webbing or ropes, we may look the difference between the material between nylon, polyester, polypropylene and cotton. Now lets learn more about polypropylene, what are the characteristics of polypropylene and how strong is polypropylene ?

The strength polypropylene

Polypropylene is Strong and Rigid – like stainless steel, the material holds its strength quite well how strong is polypropylene

  • excellent cold weather flexibility
  • ultraviolet stability-20 years service life as exposed membrane guaranteed
  • light, easy to spread into place
  • completely homogeneously bonded seams with no seam edge or flap
  • easily repaired from mechanical damage with simple field tools or tape
  • can be provided in panel sizes ranging up to 35,000 square feet
  • excellent flexibility to “form-fit” pond shapes
  • excellent tensile, tear and elongation mechanical properties to ensure a long service life

The uses of polypropylene

Polypropylene is used in both household and industrial applications. Its unique properties and ability to adapt to various fabrication techniques make it stand out as an invaluable material for a wide range of uses. Another invaluable characteristic is polypropylene’s ability to function as both a plastic material and as a fiber (like those promotional tote bags that are given away at events, races, etc). Polypropylene’s unique ability to be manufactured through different methods and into different applications meant it soon started to challenge many of the old alternative materials, notably in the packaging, fiber, and injection molding industries
