Polymer Group (PGI) has initiated a new platform technology for the production of nonwovens containing submicron fibres that can deliver improved performance properties for healthcare, industrial, filtration and new emerging market applications.
PGI’s proprietary Arium technology produces a matrix of fibres predominately sized under one micron in diameter. The submicron fibres contained in materials produced with the new technology can provide higher surface area, biosafety and tunable porosity that enhance performance benefits such as absorbency, adsorption, opacity, softness, barrier protection, acoustic performance and high-efficiency filtration.
