Beaulieu Fibres International prioritises sustainable partnerships at INDEX 20
The BICO-fibres are made with polyethylene in the sheath and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in the core, and are the latest addition to its hygiene portfolio.
With the trend for comfort in hygiene, Meraspring enables non-wovens to combine softness and loftiness that provides a cushioned and even a ‘wellbeing’ experience for end-users.
The fibres are available in a range from 1.7-8.9 dtex with hydrophilic, hydrophobic and wellbeing finishes depending on the properties required in the final product. TiO2 can be added to improve opacity and give a cotton-like appearance.
Maria Teresa Tomaselli, General Manager, said: “We are delighted to launch our new pilot line, extending our capabilities as a reliable partner for product development. It will enable us to support each customer in reducing the time-to-market of new products, clustering their requirements in new fibre solutions that can be thoroughly tested to ensure they will hit the mark in answering their end-market needs and challenges before any production is upscaled.”
The fast-growing filtration market will also feature, as Beaulieu Fibres International presents a whole new range of MONO and BICO fibres that comply with global food contact standards. Additionally, a new range of dry PP fibres for use in electret filtration applications will also be promoted.
Additionally, UltraBond enables production of a 100 per cent PP self-supporting pleatable filtration media with excellent filtration performance and which can be made fully recyclable. UltraBond is amongst the innovations shortlisted by EDANA for the INDEX 20 awards. A technical presentation and non-woven samples will be available at Stand 1340.
