New brands and products of PHP Fibers
The upcoming need for sustainable products is for today’s technical textiles as important as tensile performance! Enka® Nylon BIO yarn is their first sustainable drop-in alternative for fossil-based technical polyamide yarns at almost zero CO2 emission balance for its polymer synthesis. In addition, it provides less sensitivity to humidly pick-up. With its good fatigue resistance in MRG, it outperforms fossil-based PA 6.6 reinforcements at the same time.
PHP Fibers took over the BREATHAIR® activities from Toyobo Europe GmbH in Europe in 2019. Breathair® is the latest innovative 3D structure nonwoven solution for everywhere you sit, lay down and relax. From a slim, flexible protective layer to a thick cushioning, BREATHAIR® is an excellent option for multiple applications. Being highly water repellent, exceptionally air-permeable and lighter than polyurethane at the same level of hardness plus its rubbery elasticity makes BREATHAIR® exceptionally durable.
