PP Fabric Gaining Popularity For Cement Packaging

The global market for PP woven bags was valued at US$3421 in 2017 (this was the minimum), and its forecasted growth is 4.2% between 2018 to 2028.  

In India, the demand for PP woven fabric is on the rise and has found application in various industries, such as the agriculture, food packaging, tourism, daily necessities, geotechnical packaging and food control products. When it comes to the cement industry, then PP fabric is one of the foremost picks here because of its strength, higher corrosion resistance, chemical resistance and tear resistance properties. 

India, being the top producer of cement in the world, consumes woven bags for cement packaging primarily. On the other hand, the world has some better and sustainable options. 

Paper bags with plastic coating is one of them. In India, the drift of the cement packaging industry toward PP woven fabric is not because of the cost as most people think. It has a strong foundation. Let us have a look at the same.

It is a Cost-Effective Solution - Cost of packaging is a factor manufacturers take into account because this affects their profit ratio. The woven bags made from PP fabric are low cost in comparison to other options available. And in addition to being a low-cost option, it offers all the functionalities and features that manufacturers look for in packaging bags, such durability, high strength, sustainability, availability, etc.  

Highly Customizable - The PP woven fabrics are customizable. Cement bag manufacturers leverage this property of PP fabric to bring up innovative products. The woven bags with lining and lamination are a few inceptions. And the latest one is the modular bag for the automotive bagging system. 

Packaging of material has shifted to the automotive mode for most stuff. Cement also comes in the same category. The new woven bags synch with the system perfectly. The top benefit of this bag is a sharp reduction in wastage. The perforation on woven bags is the place from where excess air and moisture present in the cement releases in the traditional bags. The same perforation becomes a cause for cement wastage during packing and transportation. In the new cement bags, manufacturers have removed the perforation on fabric with BOPP lamination and replaced it with an open mouth that automatically seals the bag after releasing the trapped air. It has reduced the wastage of cement significantly. In addition to that, the BOPP film laminated on woven bags aids branding.

Spill-Proof Packaging - A packaging material cannot be said excellent until it is hundred per cent spill-proof. It is because spilling of material means wastage of material, which results in profit loss. The woven bag has been made spill-proof with the hemming process, lamination, liner, etc. All these features have been added to the cement bags as well. So, the present-day cement bags are spill-proof. Furthermore, the wear and tear resistance of PP woven fabric makes it even safer for the packing and transportation of cement. 

The PP bags or sacks with liners are easy to handle, stronger than basic woven bags and more resistant to moisture. 

Easy Transportation - Cement bags must have an exceptional strength because these bags get transported to different places and exported. PP woven bags are durable, and the addition of lamination on the PP woven fabrics warrants an extra layer of protection to bags. It makes it safe for goods transportation in different conditions such as water, heat, air, etc. 

Cement is a sensitive material that turns into useless concrete, even with slight contact with moisture. Therefore, its protection during transportation becomes imperative. PP woven fabrics encompass all the qualities to safeguard it. Further, the woven fabric manufacturers are working with the PP fabric to develop innovative products with higher functionalities.

The best part about polypropylene woven bags is that all these customizations have not made it pricy. And it would not be wrong to say that these bags are cheaper than other bags, more feature-full, efficient in reducing wastage, durable and sustainable, and at the same time, less harmful to the environment because of being recyclable, reusable and decomposable.

How Strong Is The Polypropylene Bags And How This Property Benefits Users

Through different mediums such as reading posts on the internet, one-to-one communication, advertisement, marketing, we have been receiving information that PP woven fabric is a strong material. It has created a general perception for polypropylene bags/sacks which talks about it’s toughness as well as durable material. If your knowledge about polypropylene is the same, let’s check how strong the pp woven bags are, made from PP woven fabric roll in real. Tensile Strength  - Polypropylene is often compared with (polyvinyl chloride), which is a highly rigid material used for coating custom wire baskets. The tensile strength of polypropylene is very high. It is somewhere 4,800 psi. The high tensile strength allows the material to hold heavyweight despite being low in weight. Moisture Absorption  - Polypropylene is a water-resistant material. It absorbs less water. In the 24-hour soak test, the material absorbed less than 0.01 per cent of moisture. This property makes PP wov...

Why Polypropylene Bags Are Considered As The Best Bulk Packaging Bags

Packaging bags are widely used for bulk storage. Manufacturers produce packaging bags using different materials. For example, jute bags, paper bags, polythene bags, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bags, and polypropylene (PP) bags. Polypropylene sack is the most sought after bulk packaging bag. PP is a kind of plastic that possesses all the desirable qualities for bulk storage. Types of polypropylene-based bags Bulk storage bags made using thin strips of polypropylene. Depending on the process of manufacture, the bags may be woven or non-woven. Woven sacks are made of PP woven fabric. It is a textile formed by weaving on a loom, made of many threads or strips woven on a warp and a weft. P olypropylene w oven bags are the toughest packaging bags. Non-woven bags result from fusing strips of polypropylene together. Uses of polypropylene-based bags These bags because of being strong are widely used to pack materials for the grain, milling, and sugar industry. Woven bag...
