Ingeo 6500D for Softer, Biobased Nonwoven Hygiene Applications
Ingeo 6500D offers a softer feel and improved tensile strength over general polylactic acid (PLA). This solution can be combined with our hydrophilic fibers coating technology, which delivers enhanced fluid management with improved strike-through, re-wet, and run-off for better comfort on skin.
Creating a more breathable, reusable mask
A partnership between NatureWorks and the Nonwovens Institute at North Carolina State University has resulted in a new spunbond nonwoven technology that will enable faster production of highly breathable, reusable surgical masks and respirators.
