What is polyester nonwoven?  Polyester nonwoven fabrics are a type of nonwoven material made from polyester fibers. These fabrics are known for their strength, durability, and versatility, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.       Production Process Fiber Preparation: Polyester Fibers: The primary raw material is polyester, which can be in the…

What are bicomponent fibers? Bicomponent fibers are created when two distinct polymers are extruded together to create a fiber. Both the polymers used and their geometric arrangement can be changed based on the desired property profile. The geometry of our bicomponent fibers is sheath-core. A sheath composed of a polymer with a lower melting point,…

Viscose, Modal and Lyocell: Complete Guide to Regenerated Cellulosic Fibers — and How They Compare to Polyester Viscose, modal, lyocell, and Tencel are four names that appear constantly in sustainable textile sourcing conversations — and are frequently confused with each other, conflated with cotton, or incorrectly classified as either natural or synthetic fibers. None of…

What is viscose? Viscose fiber comprises two categories: viscose filament fiber and viscose staple fiber. Viscose fibers are classified as cellulose fibers derived from natural materials such as cotton and other plant-based sources. Regenerated cellulose fiber, known as viscose fiber, utilizes natural cellulose as its primary raw material. The process of making soluble cellulose xanthate…

What are natural fibers? Traditionally, natural fibers have been used in all cultures for making utilitarian products. Different parts of the plant are used. Fibers can be extracted from the bark (banana, jute, hemp, ramie), stem (banana, palm, bamboo), leaf (palm, screw pine, sisal, agave), husk (coir), seeds (cotton), and grass (sikki, madhurkati, benakati, munj)….

What is polyester fiberfill made of?  It is usually made from polyester and other recycled materials. Fiberfill stuffing is inexpensive to make, and its insulating and filler properties make it ideal for different projects and purposes. Fiberfill stuffing is normally made from polyester, a synthetic fiber that is very cheap and easy to recycle. Fiberfill…

Spinning fibers into yarn involves two primary methods: ring spinning and open-end (OE) spinning. Each method has its own set of processes and applications, and they yield yarns with different characteristics. Here’s a detailed overview of the production of ring-spun and OE-spun yarns using polyester staple fiber (PSF): 1. Ring Spinning Process Overview Opening and…

What is needle-punched nonwoven?  Needle punched nonwoven is a type of nonwoven fabric produced through a mechanical process called needle punching. This process involves the entanglement of fibers by repeatedly inserting and withdrawing barbed needles, which bond the fibers together to form a cohesive fabric. We sell needlepunch (felt) nonwovens, which are strong fabrics made…

What is Airlaid nonwoven?  Airlaid nonwoven is a type of fabric made using the airlaid process, which involves the dispersion of fibers into an air stream and then collecting them on a moving belt or screen to form a web. This process is especially effective for creating fabrics with high absorbency, softness, and uniformity. Here’s…

What is chemical bonding nonwoven?  Chemical bonding nonwoven, also known as chemically bonded nonwoven, is a type of fabric made by binding fibers together using chemical binders. This process involves applying a bonding agent to a fiber web, which then holds the fibers in place, creating a cohesive fabric. Thermal bonding is a method used…
