FIBERPARTNER, one of the leading suppliers of staple fibres for nonwovens, after several years of extensive tests and developments, commercialized its new range of bico fibres for airlaid.

The calculations done by the professionals of England based PCI fibers state that the demand of the polyester and other man-made fibers has outpaced the demand of cotton fibers in the textile industry. More specifically, the requirement of polyester fibers among the public increased more than the cotton fibers in the year 2002 and the need of these fibers is growing significantly.

Polyethylene terephthalate is commercially used in the form of filaments and fibers for various applications like home furnishing, fiberfill, textiles, and nonwovens. From electronics and construction to automotive and hospitality, the demand for hollow polyester fiber is rising in every industry and it is expected to cross 100 Billion by 2020.

Polyester Staple Fiber at Fiber Partner is used in the manufacture of many products, including clothing, home furnishing, industrial fabrics, computer and recording tapes and electrical insulation. Polyester fabrics have certain advantages over traditional fabrics such as cotton. It doesn't absorb moisture, it doesn't absorb oil; this quality makes polyester the perfect fabric for the application of soil, water and fire- resistant finishes. The low absorbency makes it naturally resistant to stains. Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods. The one used depends on the form the finished polyester will take. The four basic forms are filament, staple, tow and fiberfill. In the filament form, each individual strand of polyester fiber is continuous in length, producing smooth surfaced fabrics. In the staple form, the filaments are cut too short, predetermined length. In this form, polyester is easy to blend with other fabrics. Tow is a form in which continuous filament are drawn loosely together. Fiberfil is a voluminous form in which continuous filament used in the production of quilts, pillows and outerwear. The two forms used are most frequently filament and staple.

Polyester is defined as a category of polymers that compromises of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET). It is a synthetic polymer that is made from PTA and MEG and is mainly used to produce yarn. This yarn is made from any synthetic polymer and is best known for its association with polyester fabric, which happens to be resin centric, wrinkle resistant and fabric of fibers. Fiber Partner's Hollow Polyester Fibers is one such type of polyester fiber that has the quality of producing fabric which is light compact and absolutely non-see through at the same time. The hollow polyamide fiber makes it naturally breathable and moisture wicking ensuring extreme comfort to the end user. The air contained inside the hollow fiber ensures a high thermal insulation, keeping the body temperature steady; the fabric therefore optimizes the natural human thermo regulation process and reduces energy consumption. Fabrics made of Fiber Partner's Hollow Polyester Fibers also provide excellent UV protection.
