Fiber Non Woven is a fabric-like material made by spinning process, bonding, entangling, or fusing fibers directly together (using heat, chemicals, or mechanics) rather than weaving or knitting them into yarn. These materials are cost-effective, versatile, porous, and often disposable, serving as a popular, flexible alternative to traditional fabrics in applications like medical masks, wipes, diapers and industrial filters.
BioGENIE® for Fiber Non Woven grades
|
Property |
Typical Specification Range |
Importance for fiber |
|
Carrier Resin |
Matched to base polymer (e.g., PP carrier for PP fiber) |
Ensures complete compatibility and dispersion in the final product. |
|
Dosage (Let-down Ratio) |
Typically 1%, depending on required biodegradable period |
Dictates cost-effectiveness and processing parameters. |
|
Physical Form |
Free-flowing pellets, dust-free processing |
Ensures ease of handling, clean processing, and consistent automated dosing. |
|
Melt Flow Index (MFI) |
Close to the base resin MFI |
Guarantees proper dispersion within the extruder without causing processing issues. |
|
Filterability |
Low Filter Pressure Value |
must exhibit low filter pressure values, indicating minimal screen pack build-up and long, continuous spin performance |
|
Particle Size Distribution |
Typically 50 – 60 microns |
Critical for maintaining minimal screen pack changing |
|
Thermal stability |
Must withstand the high processing temperatures of fiber without degrading or burning |
Avoiding decompose additive during extrusion. |
