Industry Analysis and Forecast 2016 - 2022”.

Split fibers are microfiber having linear density less than 1 dtex (decitex). Although production

technology has been available to manufacture split fibers, powerful demand for split fibers did

not start until 1980s. Toray was first company in the world to launch Micro Fibers followed by

DuPont, ICI. Polypropylene is the material used to produce split fibers because of ease of

processing and perfect mechanical properties. The major properties of polypropylene are

stiffness, high tensile strength, lower elongation and very fibrillation length. Polypropylene also

used with other olefins in form of blends to increase the fibrillation tendency. The split fibers are

produced by treating bi-components filaments physical and chemical processes. Bi-components

has the two types of polymers. Polyamide/ Polyester and polyester/ Polyolefines are the suitable

combination for splittable bi-component filament spinning. Split fibers are produced in various

steps such as tape production, stretching process, and splitting process. Applications areas of

Split fibers are carpet backing fabrics, canvas over tarpaulin, sacks, bags, ropes, twine, release

fabrics, filter fabrics, household textiles and reinforced fabrics.

Increasing demand to improve fiber properties will drive the global split fiber market. Split fibers

has opened the innovative product development opportunities in filtration systems which will

further boost the demand in global split fiber market. Global Split fibers prescribes high prices.

Cost of manufacturing of split fibers is high as compared to common...
