Fitesa announces the development and commercialization of a new elastic spunmelt fabric. The fabric results from the combination of Fitesa’s bicomponent technology and advanced elastic polymer chemistry.
This technology provides the flexibility to tailor a spunmelt nonwoven to meet requirements that are currently fulfilled by complex nonwoven/stretch film laminates.
Potential applications include hygiene stretch components including but not limited to waistband, ear, and tabs, medical applications including face masks, cuffs, wraps and bandages, and other application where stretch and recovery are important.
Fitesa also announces the development and commercialization of a new 100% sustainable, 100% bio-based, spunbond nonwoven for the hygiene and personal care markets.
This new nonwoven is composed of not one, but two bio-based polymers in a sheath-core, bicomponent configuration that takes full advantage of each polymer’s unique features. The spunbond fibers consist of a polyethylene (PE) sheath, which is produced from sugar cane and a polylactic acid (PLA) core produced from corn. The resultant nonwoven is extremely soft, due to the PE outer sheath, yet remains strong and robust due to the PLA core.
