Bicomponent

Bicomponent

Bicomponent filament or fiber is comprised of two different polymers within the same fiber or filament, extruded from the same spinneret in many patterns and combinations. Our Bicomponents are arranged in Core and Sheath pattern. The Core consists of Polypropylene and the Sheath of Polyethylene. The advantage of having Bicomponents of this configuration is that while the Polypropylene Core gives strength to the filament, the outer Polyethylene Sheath gives a soft silky feel. 

All of our Polypropylene products can be made Bicomponent. Due to its soft nature it is widely used in Hygiene and Medical applications.
