Using PVOH for nonwovens


CIRCNF

Using our innovative PVOH, for melt spun fibres and spunmelt nonwovens offers high funtionality and versatile end of life options:

  • Allows high hydrolysis, water-soluble, polyvinyl alcohol fibres to be processed via melt spinning, without polymer modification, maintaining full polymer functionality and end-oflife biodegradation
  • Staple fibres can be used as functional fibres or in combination with others, such as biopolymers and cellulosics, with high affinity and synergistic effects. The fibres also enable reuse/ recycling, anaerobic digestion and marine biodegradation
  • Functional properties include high mechanical strength, liquid management, UV resistance and flushability
