1.PP Cotton
The main composition is polypropylene fiber,PP cotton is a type of synthetic chemical cotton fiber,there are two kinds of Pp cotton,one is ordinary fiber,another is hollow 3D fiber,its features resilience,fluffy,smooth touch,thermal property.Pp cotton does not contain chemical irritants such as formaldehyde and fluorescent agents. Therefore, factories often use it as a filling material for plush toys, pillow cores, and other items.Pp cotton is washable,but PP cotton can easily deform or clump over time.
