IFG PE are developed specifically as bonding fibers for carpets and to be processed into fleeces for Geotextiles (landfill). It is a more environmentally friendly alternative to latex in carpet applications. Depending on construction and specific product requirements, the blending ratio (approx. 20%) of PE fibers with for example PP fibers can vary. A thermal treatment of approximately 125°C is required to create a bonding effect.

IFG PP fibers in a melt spun process for almost 50 years. Thanks to our vast experience in manufacturing, we have become experts in polypropylene fibers. A wide range of spundyed colors are available. IFG’s in-house color department is on hand to create a variety of shades in close cooperation with our customers. All spun-dyed fibers have a minimum order quantity. There are multiple additional properties available, including: flame retardant, UV stability, thermally stabilized, food contact approval, hydrophobic, hydrophilic and antimicrobial.

IFG rPP fibers show a further step forward and commitment towards our drive to increase sustainability. IFG rPP consists of virgin PP combined with mechanically recycled PP (5 - 50%) and is available in raw white, gray or black.

IFG PA are melt-spun and specially designed for nonwoven floor coverings, but also excel in automotive applications. The main properties of PA-fibers include outstanding abrasion resistance, good resilience, excellent adhesion to latex, good chemical resistance and good dye-ability and printing options. IFG color technicians can provide a wide range of customized colors and shades, including black and white fibers. IFG have an in-house color department which creates shades in close cooperation with our customers.

IFG FR include flame retardant additives adjusted to the final application. All FR-fiber versions are non-halogenated in accordance to IMDS – International Material Data System. Depending on the final application, different LOI’s (Limited Oxygen Index) are available. Equally important is the percentage of FR-fibers involved, the type of blending components as well as the burning behavior of the fiber material. The construction and density of the final product may also influence the FR-performance. Depending on the application, raw-white & various colors are available.
