Olefin/Polypropylene fiber | Manufactured fiber Olefin
Olefin or Polypropylene Fiber
FTC (Federal Trade Commission) Definition-A manufactured fiber in which the fiber forming substance is any long-chain synthetic polymer composed of at least 85% by weight of ethylene, propylene, or other olefin units, except amorphous (non-crystalline) polyolefins. Commercially it was first produced by Hercules Incorporated(A chemical manufacturing company).
