Why Olefin
Polypropylene, also known as Olefin in the markets for many years, is a synthetic resin built up by the polymerization of propylene. Often polypropylene is molded or extruded into many plastic products in which toughness, flexibility, lightweight, and heat resistance are required. It can be spun into fibres for employment in industrial and household textiles.
The polymer shares some of the polyethylene properties, but it is stronger, stiffer, and harder, and it softens at higher temperatures. A large proportion of polypropylene production is melt-spun into fibres. Polypropylene fibres can be found in home furnishings such as upholstery and indoor-outdoor carpets. Numerous industrial end uses, including fishing gears, rope and cordage, disposable nonwoven fabrics for diapers and medical applications, and nonwoven fabrics for ground stabilization and reinforcement in construction and road paving, are around our daily life.
These applications take advantage of the toughness, resilience, water resistance, and chemical inertness of the polymer.
Mackintosh® Inside
• Mackintosh® is an advanced built-in technology that offers superior water and stain protection while using fewer chemicals, water, and energy in the production process.
• It infuses the most advanced PFAS-free DWR polymer melting additive into the blending process with polypropylene pellets and high UV color master batch through the solution dye process.
• The filaments are extended, separately textured, and spun to be unique Mackintosh® PP yarns that embed superb repellency and maintain longevity performance after times of rain showers and laundry.
• Benefiting from low-temperature finishing, Mackintosh® Solution-Dyed Olefin is softer to the touch, stronger in chemical structure, and easy to maintain and clean.
• All products are now PFC-Free and PFAS-Free ready.
