    At present, due to the spread of the new non-coronavirus pneumonia epidemic, masks have become in short supply


    .


    Polypropylene (PP for short) is a polymer produced by addition polymerization of propylene.
    It is colorless, odorless, non-toxic, translucent waxy solid, and is the main material for the production of masks


    .


    Polypropylene (PP for short) is a polymer produced by addition polymerization of propylene.


    Medical masks generally use a multi-layer structure, referred to as SMS structure: a single-layer spunbond layer (S) on both sides, and a single or multi-layer meltblown layer (M) in the middle
    .


    Many advantages and wide use

    Many advantages, many uses, many advantages, many uses

    Because polypropylene has the characteristics of chemical resistance, heat resistance, electrical insulation, high mechanical strength, etc.
    , in addition to being used in the production of masks, it is also used in machinery, automobiles, electronic appliances, construction, textiles, packaging, agriculture, forestry, fishery and food industries.
    It has been developed and applied in many fields
