Crinlene
100% Polypropylene Monofilament
Density 910 Kg/m3
Diameter range 0,065 - 1,00 mm
Count range 30 - 7.147 dTex

This monofilament is produced with an isotactic PP homopolymer specially designed for the manufacture of yarns.
The special production process implemented by Sider Arc has drastically reduced fibrillation, which is typical of polypropylene monofilaments.
A particular careful packaging with different available supports, enables a smooth unwinding of the monofilament by either deroulé or defilé. The result is very good processability of the yarn, both in warping and weaving at high speed, without any dust formation.
The ideal mechanical features, low specific weight and water absorption as well as very good resistance to most chemical agents make this product suitable and economical for many applications. These are the production of filter and reinforcement fabrics, technical fabrics, hook and loop fasteners (Velcro® strips).
It can be used in contact with food (FDA) and in biomedical applications.
