Polypropylene (PP)
Polymerisation is used to form the polymer. The polypropylene fibres are spun using a melt spinning process.
Polyethylene (PE)
Polymerisation is used to form the polymer. The polyethylene fibres are produced using a melt spinning process.
Para-aramid (P-AR)
Para-aramids are manufactured by polycondensation and spun using the wet spinning process.
Polyamide (PA)
Polymer formation occurs in PA 6.6 through polycondensation and in PA 6 through polymerisation. The fibre is obtained through the melt spinning process.
Polyester (PES)
Polymer formation takes place through polycondensation. The fibre is obtained through the melt spinning process.
Product-dependent quality criteria
