PP woven bags are very popular in the plastic industry. We will see some aspects of this packing type.
What is PP woven bags
PP woven bags are bags made of PP plastic in the woven method.
Woven, or weaving is a method by many threads or tapes woven in two directions (warp and weft), to form a fabric for plastic industry needs.
Polypropylene (PP), is one kind of thermoplastic resin material produced by the polymerization of propylene.
Woven polypropylene is polypropylene strips/threads that have been woven in two directions (warp and weft) to create a light, but strong and heavy-duty material.
Woven polypropylene bags: Build with circular woven polypropylene fabric, one side sewn as the bottom, leave the other side open, the simplest woven polypropylene bags are done.
Benefits of using PP woven bags
- Woven cloth is flexible.
- It is able to retain its shape well.
- Woven fabrics are strong, therefore, bags can be reused multiple times.
- Bags can be put in the washing machine.
- It can be designed in a laminated or matte finish. Non-laminated woven bags are not recommended as they will have a cheap look.
- The bags do not degrade when wet.
- They are naturally resistant to tearing.
- Bags can be printed on one side or both sides.
- Bags allow the contents to breathe until air-dried.
- These bags have better burst strength than plastic bags.
- PP woven sacks can be laminated as the vapor and moisture barrier.
- Moreover, bags can be partially transparent for an outstanding presentation.
- Bags also can be side gusseted to accommodate bulky items easily.
Applications of PP woven bags
- Agricultural product packaging: PP woven bags are largely used in storing and transporting agricultural products such as aquatic products, feeds, fruits, vegetables, etc. PP woven bags used in the agricultural industry typically include feed PP woven bags, chemical PP woven bags, fertilizer PP woven bags, vegetable weaved bags and fruit mesh bags.
- Food packaging: PP woven bags are increasingly used to pack food. Common food woven bags include rice PP weaved bags, flour PP woven bags, maize woven bags, etc.
- Geotechnical engineering: PP woven fabrics are extensively used in the construction of irrigation works, roads, railways, ports, mines, buildings, and more. Having the functions of filtering, draining, isolation, and anti-seepage, PP woven fabrics are one of the most popular geosynthetics.
- Tourism and transport: Temporary tents, sunshades, and various travel bags can be made by PP woven fabrics. In addition, plastic woven fabrics can also be used as fences and screens during construction.
- Daily necessities: PP woven bags are almost used by everyone, whether workers, farmers or cargo agents, etc. You can find plastic woven products (such as shopping bags, logistics bags, etc.) in stores, warehouses and houses, nearly everywhere.
- Flood control products: Woven bags play an important role in reducing or preventing the detrimental effects of floodwaters. They are widely used in the construction of dams, river banks, roads, and railways. Woven polypropylene sandbags are widely used all over the world.
- The special woven bags: The special woven bags also are used to serve some special purposes. For example, UV resistant woven bags have UV protection and anti-aging function, allowing them a longer lifespan in the sunlight. Woven polypropylene tube with UV protection can be used for earthbag buildings.
