Multifilament PP Yarn is made by extruding polypropylene polymer through spinnerets into very thin, multiple filaments/fibres, which are then spun and converge into a multifilament yarn. The thickness of each filaments determines the denier of the yarn. The colour of the yarn is changed through the use of SAPY’s colour masterbatches.
SAPY manufactures a variety of multifilament PP yarn products for semi-industrial applications including narrow-webbing, curtain tape, mattress tapes, upholstery, filtration fabrics, hose manufacturing, braiding and ropes. We can supply you a custom colour product, or you can make a selection based on our yarn chart.
