DESCRIPTION
SABIC® PP 511A is a polypropylene homopolymer resin specifically designed for extrusion applications like spun bond and continuous filament spinning resulting in excellent non woven tensile properties.The narrow molecular weight distribution of SABIC® PP 511A is obtained by balanced controlled rheology. SABIC® PP 511A is compatible with all existing spun bond/continuous filament machine technologies producing different non woven compositions, produced with narrow distributed molecular weight polypropylene resins. SABIC® PP 511A has a special developed anti gas fading formulation to minimise discolouration of the fibers.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
SABIC® PP 511A is typically used for the production of non wovens and fibres used in: Diapers, feminine care, crop/flower protection, concrete reinforcement, protective clothing, ground stabilisation in civil applications like road and railway construction work, liners in automotive, apparel clothing and flooring.
