Eastman expands Cyphrex range

摘要

In response to the nonwovens market's need for expanded formulation options with fine fibers, Eastman Chemical Company is enhancing its platform capability with a 4.5-micron diameter PET microfiber, specifically designed for wetlaid processing. This addition to the family of Eastman Cyphrex microfibers comes less than a year after the successful launch in April 2013 of its commercially available 2.5-micron diameter microfiber. When blended, the company says these highly uniform microfibers can allow the formulator to help pinpoint permeability and control pore size, resulting in greater precision for targeted functionality.
