about
Polypropylene

Polypropylene is a lightweight, moisture-resistant synthetic fibre commonly used in activewear and technical textiles

Polypropylene is a lightweight thermoplastic polymer made from the polymerisation of propylene gas, a derivative of crude oil, making it a non-renewable material. Initially used for mass-producing plastic goods, it is now commonly manufactured into fibres and textiles.

The production process involves high temperatures and various chemical additives, some of which may be hazardous to human health and the environment. Polypropylene fabrics are not biodegradable and contribute to persistent plastic pollution.
