    Beaulieu Fibres Shows New Fiber Platform at INDEX

    Meralux fibers offer higher loft and bulk in nonwovens

    Beaulieu Fibres International, a polyolefin fiber supplier, will unveil a pioneering new fiber-platform at INDEX and offer first detailed insights into the future-focused hygiene products arising from its on-going investment in innovation and manufacturing capabilities.
 Beginning in
 May, Meralux fibers will be added to the Meraklon product portfolio. First test results show that nonwovens made with the new Meralux fiber combinations have a higher loft/bulk. Meralux’s coverage is unique and provides nonwovens with a very closed surface, without containing additives like TiO2. With the higher loft and unique coverage, softness will be provided by the choice of raw materials. Equipped with all these features, Meralux allows basis weight reductions without losing performance.

    In line with the further diversification of its products, Beaulieu Fibres International is set to produce short cut fibers for hygiene applications as of summer 2017. These will be available in cut lengths of 3-24mm in polypropylene (PP) mono and bico.
 
To add to its new products for 2017, the Meraklon portfolio will expand further with the launch of new polyester (PET) core bico fibers. They will come on stream with Meraklon’s new state-of-the-art, long line at the company’s site in Terni, Italy. The €30 million investment to extend production capacity is currently underway and is scheduled to commence operations during this year.



    Petra Bohle-Stricker, global sales director of hygiene, Beaulieu Fibres International, comments: “Beaulieu Fibres International is continuing to strengthen its position as a global supplier for polyolefin fibers. Investment in fibers production is an important driver for ensuring we meet future challenges and customers’ needs. In the four years since Meraklon’s takeover, Beaulieu Fibres International has successfully adapted it to the level required to be a leading market player. We have broadened the portfolio significantly to better serve the future market needs and are continually innovating to ensure we go the extra mile for the nonwovens industry.”
