Polypropylene Homopolymer for Production of Fine Denier Staple Fibers For Nonwoven Thermobonded Fabri cs . Product Description: • Fabrics made with Parslen ZH5540 are characterized by softness, textile-like appearance and high tear resistance. • In comparison with standard Polypropylene types for thermobnding applications, Parslen ZH5540 offers better processability with the long-spinning technology resulting in high and uniform fiber quality and less down-time. Application: • The fabrics are particularly suited for the production of fabrics for feminine care products, diapers, incontinence pads, medical disposables, wipes and other applications include filters and fabrics for the automotive, clothing and furniture industry.
