The spunbond process, used to produce nonwovens, is the fastest-growing method for the production of applications such as medical and hygiene articles, geotextiles and filtration items.
While initial investments in spunbond conversion equipment can be significant, the process is very economical and easy-to-use as a single-stage method with high output.
At high spinning speeds and large output rates, spunbond technology requires tailored polyolefins that perform uniformly and consistently. Polypropylene's excellent cost/performance characteristics have opened up a vast number of application areas for nonwovens
Our Moplen and Pro-fax polypropylene resins exhibit high bonding strength and a wide bonding window. When very fine filaments, high tenacity and excellent wet and dry strength are needed, customers choose Metocene polypropylene grades, based on LyondellBasell’s latest-generation metallocene catalyst technology.
