rPET/PTT Double-hollow Composite Elastic Fiber

2025-03-18News 830

Reasons for recommendation

The combination of recycling and bio-based material is low-carbon

and environmentally friendly, fitting seamlessly into sustainable

development. The innovative “8”-shaped double-hollow component

composite imparts lightweight, thermal-retention, comfort, and

elasticity properties, etc., to the fabric, ensuring excellent conformality

of the product.

Preparative technique

With rPET and bio-based PTT as raw materials, the optimal rPET/PTT compound system has been optimized. Asymmetric and multi-dimensional deformed side-by-side composite spinneret assemblies are adopted to produce the fiber through melt composite spinning process.

The downstream application guidance

Weaving: Can be interwoven with other fibers to produce both knitted and woven fabrics.

Dyeing and finishing: Use dispersive dyes. The gray fabric needs to be pre-shrunk and pre-set before dyeing. The recommended dyeing temperature is 125℃.

Application of fibers

Clothing textiles：Leisure wear/Sportswear/Down jacket/High-end ready-to-wear

Home textiles：Carpet/Sofa fabric

Industrial textiles：Outdoor product

Q: Why does the 8-shaped hollow structure design have more advantages compared to single-hole hollow fiber and conventional two-component elastic fiber?

A:Compared to single-hole hollow fiber, the 8-shaped hollow structure design exhibits superior performance in terms of thermal insulation and rebound resilience. The double-hollow structure distributes the supporting force evenly,enhancing the cohesive force and thermal-retention properties of the fiber, and increasing the bending modulus of the fiber effectively. While compared to conventional two-component elastic fiber, the fiber with an 8-shaped hollow

structure possesses more prominent three-dimensional effects and fluffiness.Furthermore, this fiber integrates bio-based materials with recycled materials,achieving a perfect combination of greenness, low-carbon, and environmental protection, and fitting into sustainable development.
