WIELSBEKE, BELGIUM, October 21, 2015-

Beaulieu Fibres International, the leading European polypropylene staple fibre supplier, continues to extend the Meraklon specialty fibre portfolio with the introduction of polyolefin BICO-fibres combining softness and strength for nonwovens.

The new Meraklon BICO fibres are based on a Polypropylene (PP) core and Polyethylene (PE) sheath. The PE offers excellent softness in the nonwoven. High strength and thermal stability is ensured by the solid PP core. In addition, PE's low melting temperature at 130°C supports low bonding temperatures during processing. First customer trials confirmed the good performance of the fibre.
