Beaulieu Fibres investing in new hygiene fibre line

Through the new investment, Beaulieu will for the first time produce polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polypropylene and PET fibres.

The investment is expected to support its worldwide hygiene and personal care sector customers, who use these fibres in nonwoven applications like baby diapers, adult incontinence products, feminine care and wipes.

According to the company, nonwovens made with these fibre combinations have a higher loft or bulk and a good resilience.

“The higher melting temperature of the PET in the core of the fibre allows a broad bonding window during the production process,” Beaulieu said. (AR)
