What is Low melting fiber Market?
Low melt fiber is an eco-friendly and alternative to chemical adhesives. It has low melting point which is 110 degrees when compared to regular polyester fiber having melting point 265 degrees. Low melting fiber has wide range of applications such as automotive materials, bedding and furniture, and hygiene products. It is blended with polyester fiber with melting point of 110 to 180 degrees. Moreover, the low melting fiber is referred to as bi component fiber which is used as a thermal bonding fiber and has sheath core type structure.
The market study is being classified by Type (Melting Point ≤130 and Melting point>130), by Application (Mattress, Bedding, Padding, Car molding and Others) and major geographies with country level break-up.
