Biodegradable, virgin and recycled fibers

PrimaLoft® Bio™ biobased Polyolefin

Biobased PE/rPET BICO is modified polyethylene sheath polyester core thermalbondfiber. This fiber has a low melting point, thermoplastic and self-adhesible properties. When 100% carding to web and heat-treated to non-woven fabrics, this fiber has better strength, wash fastness, and easy care.

*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.
