Polyester Staple Fibre (PSF)

Recycled Polyester staple fibre is a synthetic man made fibre made from PET/Polyester waste and post consumed PET bottles. It is used in Non-Woven carpets, wadding, filtration industries, as a polyfill for stuffing cushions, pillows, soft toys, quilts. Its also used for spinning yarns and making geotextiles. Hollow Polyester staple fiber gives good resilience properties and is used to make premium pillows, cushions and quilts.

Recycling of PET/Polyester waste and used PET bottles is essential to maintain cleanliness of environment.

These dried flakes are then taken to Extruder for spinning. Spinneret are available to make either hollow or solid PSF of varying denier (1.5Den 50Den). Filaments coming out of spinning are collected in cans or bobbins. This completes the spinning. Hollow and Solid PSF can be treated to make Siliconized, conjugated, polyfill, harsh, bouncy, anti static, anti fungal. In second step these cans are taken to Creel area where many cans or bobbins are combined to make tow and stretched several times in a chemical hot bath to make fibre. These fibres are then dried and relaxed in a relaxer and cut in various cut length before bale packin g.

FR Polyester Staple Fiber (PSF): Type PET-FR Flammability OF PET-FR

PET-FR is the new Flame retardant Polyester Staple Fiber (PSF) developed based on current safety requirements. Special Flame Retardant Nonhalogen antimony free

Phosphorous based FR additive is added during extrusion process. Thus, the fibre is inherently flame resistant. Compared with post processed FR applied products, it is more stable against general washing or dry cleaning.

Due to its Fire self extinguishing features, if PET-FR products would catch fire, fire will not spread wildly. Product gets ignited but is extinguished in a short time when flame is removed away. It provides the products LOI value of 28.

Burning PET-FR based products would pass Indian and International standards of Flammability requirements for Automotive vehicles (IS 15061) as well as other standards. The fabrics made thereof have Flame Retardant properties. Burning usually stops when the ignition source is taken away.

In the laboratory vertical Flame test, thick Polyester fabrics ( max thickness 12.7mm ), do not burn with flaming for 30 seconds or longer after each application of the test flame.

SAFETY OF PET-FR Polyester Staple Fiber (PSF):

PET-FR products are not required to be burnt, but, if accidentally burnt would not emit halogen based gases. Most of the gas produced after burning is carbon dioxide and, thus, not poisonous.

Being organic material, drips would be formed, but would not stick to the skin. Phosphorous based FR compound added in Polyes ter Staple Fiber (PSF) when burnt do not cause skin allergy. Thus, PET-FR is safe to handle and gives safe products.
