PrimaLoft® Bio™ LMF

First ever biodegradable* 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. The fiber is able to adhere at a relatively low temperature (around 110℃) and demonstrates remarkable capacity to retain its shape after being combined with other materials.

*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.
