BicoBio® is a bico stable fiber comprised of biobased PE mix with recycled PET, all with PrimaLoft® Bio™ inside, designed to compost in specific environments, including ocean water, wastewater, landfills, and soil*.
A future proof bicomponent fiber core sheath construction, developed from materials based on an additive technology that reimagines how fibers can be produced and used.
We are proud to offer this fiber option.
The fibers are available from 1,5 – 3 deniers and is available in short cut for airlaid as well as longer cutting lengths for carded applications such as air through for hygiene applications, e.g. top sheet as well as industrial applications for insulation. It is engineered to bond to both synthetic and natural fibers.
*Biodegradable: 93.8% biodegradation in 646 days under ASTM D5511 conditions (landfill environment); 88.5% biodegradation in 2313 days under ASTM D6691 conditions (marine/ocean environment). 85.5% biodegradation in 1213 days under ASTM D5210 conditions (wastewater environment); 88.1% biodegradation in 973 days under ASTM D5988 conditions (Soil environment). The stated rate and extent of degradation does not mean that the product will continue to degrade.
1GRS certification indicates that the fiber includes recycled content and that the relevant supply chain steps have been audited in accordance with the Global Recycled Standard. The certification does not make claims regarding environmental benefits, product performance, or overall environmental impact.
And neither does nature. PrimaLoft® Bio™ has been tested on 20 fibers and fabrics in more than 150 independent tests, and we continuously update the test results as new information becomes available. You will always find our latest result right here.
