Low Melt Fiber (LMF)
Eco-Friendly Bi-Component Bonding Solutions
Advanced Bonding Solutions.
100% Virgin & GRS Certified.
clover® Low Melt Fiber (LMF) represents the pinnacle of thermal bonding technology. Engineered with 100% Virgin Polyester for maximum purity and consistent melting points, our fibers ensure superior adhesion strength and structural integrity in high-end industrial applications.
Committed to the circular economy, we also provide GRS Certified Recycled options that maintain the same rigorous performance standards. By leveraging advanced bi-component Sheath-Core technology, we deliver eco-friendly bonding solutions that eliminate the need for chemical adhesives, serving global markets with unwavering quality and sustainability.
Bico Technology.
Our Low Melt Fiber (LMF) is engineered with a high-precision Sheath-Core structure. By utilizing a modified co-polyester sheath that melts at lower temperatures while keeping the PET core intact, we achieve perfect thermal bonding without chemical resins.
This advanced bi-component process ensures maximum structural integrity, excellent resilience, and superior shape retention, making it the most sustainable and efficient choice for modern high-end non-woven manufacturing.
High Performance.
Designed for versatility, our fibers are available in specialized 110°C and 180°C melting points. This flexibility allows for seamless integration into various production speeds, ensuring optimal thermal stability and high-speed carding efficiency.
Whether for automotive interiors, premium bedding, or industrial filtration, Clover® Low Melt Fiber provides the uniform adhesion and durability required to meet the world’s most demanding industrial quality standards.
