100% biobased fibers

PolyPlant® BICO

100% biobased bi-component (BICO) fibres combine the best qualities of two different polymers to enable innovative new uses. This material, a modified version of low-melting polyester, is utilized for adhesion purposes. Its low melting elements are designed to melt and bond when subjected to heat processing. It’s unique ability to adhere at a relatively low temperature (around 130℃) and demonstrates remarkable capacity to retain its shape after being combined with other materials.
