New offerings to the market from FiberVisions and ES FiberVisions include the development of a broad range of speciality fibers that enables various different features in nonwovens. Each feature can be powerful on their own, but a strong advantage comes with blending; combining the speciality features from various different fibers (mono and bico) to design an optimal solution.    

Each individual ES FiberVisions and FiberVisions fiber platform is engineered to enhance specific characteristics in a nonwoven. By utilization of blending, the nonwoven can be custom designed to meet specific requirements, as an optimal blend of various fiber technologies. ES FiberVisions has developed the next generation bi-component staple fibers to deliver superior softness into top sheet and cover stock applications.

The ES FiberVisions new Soft Bico is based on polypropylene/polyethylene bicomponents fibers containing new chemistries to provide built-in softness, durable hydrophilicity and wettability.

Optimum fiber properties are achieved by combining the physical properties of the fiber with our advanced finish technology. This gives outstanding liquid acquisition performance in the nonwoven.
