Komitex Geo produces two types of staple fiber – polyester and polypropylene. Polyester fiber is made from recycled shredded plastic bottles (flakes). Polypropylene fiber is made from virgin polypropylene granules.
Polyester staple fiber
Full cycle production of polyester staple fiber starts from collecting of plastic waste (bottles) and results in manufacturing of fiber from flakes. Polyester staple fiber is highly popular due to its relatively low cost. Polyester fibers are in demand in many industries, from automobile to linoleum production.
The following range of polyester staple fiber is always in stock:
| Fiber type | Linear density, tex | Fiber length, mm |
Tensile strength, mN/tex not less than |
Elongation, % not less than | Number of twists per 1 cm, pcs, no less than |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Polyester staple fiber | 0,33 | 66 | 300 | 40 | 3,0 |
| Polyester staple fiber | 0,67 | 66 | 250 | 40-80 | 3,0-3,8 |
Standard colors: white, beige, transitional color (mix).
Polypropylene staple fiber
Polypropylene staple fiber is in demand for sufficiently high technical characteristics.
| Fiber type | Linear density, tex | Fiber length, mm |
Tensile strength, mN/tex not less than |
Elongation, % not less than | Number of twists per 1 cm, pcs, no less than |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Polypropylene staple fiber | 0,33 | 60 | 370 | 30-80 | 3,0-4,0 |
| Polypropylene staple fiber | 0,6 | 60 | 350 | 40-100 | 3,0-4,0 |
Standard colors: white, black.
