Fibrix: Fiber Blends.
At Fibrix, we use state-of-the-art computerized equipment across multiple blend lines coupled with the latest advances in fiber processing to custom blend fibers to meet our customers’ exact specifications and requirements.
Custom Fiber Blends Capabilities
Custom fiber blends allow for greater customization by incorporating unique features such as hydrophobic and hydrophilic characteristics for high-absorbency, fast-dry, nonwoven products. Our teams of dedicated professionals work with each client to develop a complete understanding of their needs and design cost-effective and customized solutions in:
- Absorbency
- Denier and Cut Length
- Density and Loft
- Special Additives
- Dual-Blend Capabilities
Recycled & Virgin Fibers
Recycled polyester is a more sustainable and environmentally friendly option over standard virgin fibers. It takes roughly 10 plastic bottles to make a pound of recycled fibers and Fibrix buys more than 10 million pounds of recycled PET each year.
Recycled polyester provides the same strength, durability, and elasticity while keeping tons of plastic waste out of landfills and waterways. Advances in PET recycling ensure these fibers retain all the characteristics associated with fibers manufactured using raw materials while reducing carbon footprints and appealing to environmentally conscious consumers.
Recycled Polyester
Using 100% recycled polyester fibers helps reduce reliance on nonrenewable resources while protecting the environment from harmful plastic waste.
Polyester Conjugate
Polyester conjugate is a fiber blend ideal for high-use applications where loft durability is vital for long-term comfort.
Bicomponent
Bicomponent fibers are created using two distinct materials to create a single fiber with characteristics of both and are most often used with thermal bonding to ensure consistent quality.
Virgin Fiber Blends
When recycled fibers aren’t compatible with our client’s needs, such as high-end furniture manufacturing where perfect color consistency is important, we have extensive capabilities to create 100% virgin polyester and bicomponent fiber blends customized to exact specifications.
Benefits of Polyester Fiber Blends
Due to advancements in technology and understanding, polyester fibers are an economical, hypoallergenic, and vegan-friendly solution to costlier alternatives like down and wool. When compared to natural fibers, such as cotton, polyester is stronger and more durable, allowing it to retain its quality longer. Synthetic fibers also allow for greater customization by allowing us to alter the composition of each blend to meet our clients’ exact specifications and requirements.
