Binder Fibers       

Binder fibers are the most efficient way to impart strength to a nonwoven fabric.  Binder fibers are bicomponent fibers with a sheath of one polymer and a core of another polymer.  The binder fibers' sheath melts at a relatively low temperature, and the core melts at a higher temperature.  Nonwoven fabrics made with binder fibers can be bonded together simply by heating the fabric to melt the sheath but not the core of the binder fibers.  Upon cooling, the molten sheath freezes, gluing the other fibers together and producing a strong fabric.  Fiber Innovation Technology specializes in making bonding fibers with a wide variety of melting temperatures, and other important performance features.  We also make other specialty fibers and filaments.  Using our production versatility, we can make fibers that are customized for your specific needs.
