MADALINE® Bico Microfilament Hydro-entangled Fabric.

Madaline uses state-of-the-art patented bico technology with unique filament designs that are sheared and subjected to high pressure water jets to simultaneously fibrillate and entangle and consolidate the microfilaments.

Microfilaments are up to 100 times thinner than a human hair which is the key to Madaline's unique properties.

Its dense structure provides very good barrier and filtration properties. And thanks to microfilaments it is very absorbent, but quick to dry, and breathable (good moisture management) and washable. It also exhibits very good thermal insulation, wind resistance and UV protection.

Madaline’s properties make it uniquely applicable for processes such as finishing, dyeing, printing, cutting and stitching just like any traditional textile. This unique technology provides very smooth fabric hand that is closest to textiles with excellent dye capability and durability.

This technology uses 2 different filament shapes either in form of’’ hybrid Mixed Media” or ‘’multilobal’’ form which provides:

• Higher tensile and tear strength (create a rip-stop)
• Higher permeability
• Lower energy costs
• No delamination as in multiple beam systems

Madaline® fabrics can be used for a wide range of different applications such as;

• Clothing (sportswear,jeans, leisure wear, uniforms and workwear)
• Home textiles
• Industry
• Digital large-format printing media for signs and advertising and printed labels
• Mattress covers (anti-allergy and dust mite properties)
• Dry wipes and towels (sports towels, industrial cleaning cloths
• Filtration
• Technical packaging
• Sun protection (tents, shelters, awnings, truck covers) and window blinds
• Coating substrates and synthetic leather backing
• Wall covering
• Automotive applications (interior seat covers)
• Acoustic insulation for cars and building applications
