POLYLACTIC ACID-FIBERS BASED NON-WOVEN, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THEREOF

A non-woven fabric comprising bicomponent fibers. The nonwoven fabric has a core containing polylactic acid (PLA-1), coated with an envelope containing polylactic acid (PLA-2). The fibers are characterised in that PLA-1 is a copolymer of lactic acid monomers L1 and lactic acid monomers Dl, and PLA-2...

More Information
Summary:A non-woven fabric comprising bicomponent fibers. The nonwoven fabric has a core containing polylactic acid (PLA-1), coated with an envelope containing polylactic acid (PLA-2). The fibers are characterised in that PLA-1 is a copolymer of lactic acid monomers L1 and lactic acid monomers Dl, and PLA-2 is a copolymer of lactic acid monomers L2 and lactic acid D2, whose D2 monomers rate is greater than the monomers rate D1 of PLA-1. The core further contains a polymeric plasticizer. The non-woven fabric may be used for making coffee filters and / or capsules via a thermoforming process for use in a percolating apparatus.
