Product Description

he fibres cannot hydrolyse, the only chemical weakness being a susceptibility to oxidising agents. Other than that they can be used almost universally provided the temperature is below *0°c.

The fibre is of a low density (it floats in water) and so a given denier of fibre is much larger in diameter than the polyester equivalent. This leads to felts being quite thick, almost *0% thicker than for the same polyester weight.

Typical applications for polypropylene needlefelts are:

• Galvanising
• Food
• Oil
• Liquid
• Chemical
• Detergents

The fibre is very prone to static build up so the felts are often augmented by the incorporation of either conductive fibres or a conductive scrim or a combination of the two. This then helps to dissipate potential static electric discharges.
