Q1: What filler is most commonly used in PP non-woven bag production?
A: Calcium Carbonate (CaCO₃) is the most widely used filler because it lowers cost, increases stiffness, and improves dimensional stability during processing.
Q2: Why do manufacturers prefer Calcium Carbonate over Talc?
A: CaCO₃ has better stiffness enhancement and is more cost-effective, making it ideal for mass-produced shopping bags, gift bags, and promotional non-woven bags.
Q3: Can Talc be used in PP non-woven fabrics?
A: Yes. Talc improves surface smoothness, flowability, and fiber uniformity, but it is usually used as a supplementary filler, not the main one.
Q4: How much Calcium Carbonate is typically added to PP non-woven fabric?
A: The usual loading is 5–30%, depending on the required hardness, thickness, and cost targets.
Q5: Does adding fillers affect the strength of non-woven bags?
A: When used at the correct ratio, CaCO₃ can maintain or even enhance the structural rigidity of the bag without compromising performance.
