HL-242-2
PP single side brushed thermal textile
Polypropylene brushed knits made of polypropylene fiber and brushed on one side. Polypropylene fibers are lightweight, soft, and durable. The single-side fluffing treatment makes one side of the fabric forming a fluffy structure. These fibers are piled for extra warmth and softness while adding to the feel and texture of the fabric. In addition, it is also breathable and quick-drying to help keep the body comfortable and dry.
Polypropylene does not absorb any water. it can quickly eliminate moisture with the shortest drying time. The thermal conductivity of polypropylene is the lowest among all synthetic and natural fibers, because the fiber conducts heat very slowly, the heat loss also slow down, with post-raising processing, the warmth retention of the fabric will be greatly improved.
Suitable for water sports, cold-proof wet suits or warm clothing in high-cold areas.

Does your wetsuit lining stay wet and heavy, reducing your customers' comfort and warmth in cold water?
Polypropylene fiber absorbs zero water and has the lowest thermal conductivity of any synthetic or natural fiber — meaning Hong Li's PP brushed knit lining dries faster and retains heat longer than conventional lining fabrics. With a fluffy single-side raised structure for added insulation and a smooth reverse for lamination compatibility, this fabric is purpose-built for wetsuit performance.

Beyond thermal performance, this polypropylene knit fabric excels in moisture management and functional comfort. Because polypropylene does not absorb water, it achieves the shortest drying time among comparable fibers, rapidly wicking and expelling moisture away from the body to keep the wearer dry and comfortable during intense water sports activities. Its breathable, quick-dry, and antibacterial properties make it equally well-suited for performance base layers, warm clothing in high-altitude or cold-region environments, and protective gear linings.
