Crosslinked PE fibres (patented fibre)
The carbon chains of the modified and patented fibres are crosslinked by a
special process. The carbon chains of PE polymers can be crosslinked to
different degrees from lightly to heavily, depending on the intensity of treatment.
Crosslinked PE fibres differ from standard fibres by an entirely different melt behaviour, a.o. Standard PE fibres melt as thermoplastics. The melt of light crosslinked fibres is more viscose. Conversely, strongly crosslinked PE fibres
do not melt at all. They have an elastic and rubberlike property when heated.
Greater heat stability for fibres and greater viscosity for fibre melts can be set individually. The heat distortion temperature of crosslinked fibres is higher. |
|
PP fibres with heavily reduced melt viscosity (patented fibre)
These PP fibres are of interest if a heavily reduced viscosity that cannot be achieved by standard fibres with a melt flow index (MFI) of 15-40 is required.
The MFI of fibre melts can be set according to customer specifications in multiples up to a value of significantly over MFI 1000. |
