Bicomponent Fibers
- Dual-Functionality: Combines two polymers in one fiber for enhanced performance and versatility.
- Thermal Bonding: Ideal for non-woven applications, providing strength without additional adhesives.
- Soft & Durable: Offers a balance of softness and durability, perfect for hygiene products and textiles.
- Customizable Properties: Tailored for specific applications, including apparel, home furnishings, and industrial uses.
Description
Bi-component fibers can be defined as “extruding two polymers from the same spinneret with both polymers contained within the same filament.” A close relative is “co-spun fiber,” which is a group of filaments of different polymers, but with a single component per filament spun from the same spinneret.
The term “conjugate fibers” is often used, particularly in Asia, as synonymous with bicomponent fibers. The main objective of producing bicomponent fibers is to exploit capabilities which do not exist in either polymer alone.
Bicomponent fibers made of polyethylene sheath and polypropylene core are important fibers for the nonwoven fabric market.
