Spunbond polypropylene (PP) nonwoven fabric has many common applications. Some of the major uses include:

Geotextiles

Spunbond PP is widely used for geotextile applications like road construction, erosion control, drainage, filtration and separation. It is durable, permeable and resistant to damage from weather, chemicals and microorganisms.

Medical

Spunbond PP is used for medical applications such as surgical gowns, drapes, masks, wipes, swabs and sterilization wraps. It is low cost, non-irritating, bacteria resistant and provides barrier protection.

Agricultural

Spunbond PP geotextiles are used for applications like mulching, weed prevention, drainage and erosion control in agriculture. They help retain moisture in soil and control weed growth while still allowing air, water and root penetration.

Filtration

The small pore size and uniform structure of spunbond PP makes it useful for filtration applications like air filters, liquid filters, microfilters and oleophobic filters. It can filter out contaminants by size and hydrophobicity.

Hygiene

Spunbond PP is used for hygiene products such as baby wipes, wet wipes, diaper liners, feminine hygiene pads and pet wipes. It is highly absorbent, durable and resists tearing.

Packaging

Spunbond PP is used for packaging like paper towel tubes, bottle wraps, bag inserts, attachment strips and cushioning materials. It provides strength, cushioning and moisture resistance.

Laminates

Spunbond PP is often laminated with films like polyethylene or polypropylene film to produce enhanced materials for applications like medical drapes, tents, greenhouse covers, tarpaulins and geotextiles. The laminate provides increased strength, water resistance, or barrier properties.

Roofing Underlayment

Spunbond PP nonwoven fabric is used as roofing underlayment or roof sheets. It acts as a protective layer under roof shingles or tiles, providing moisture barrier, wind break and covering board properties. It is durable, UV resistant andwaterproof.

Car interiors

Spunbond PP is used for components of vehicle interiors such as trunk liners, door panels, dashboard covers, seat covers and headliners. It provides durable yet lightweight insulating and acoustic properties.
