Description
A texturized synthetic fiber that is formed by spinning two different polymers into a single thread. Bicomponent fibers are made usually by extruding the two components side-by-side. As the combined filament is drawn, the two polymers respond differently to the stress resulting in a permanetly crimped, but stretchable, fiber.
Synonyms and Related Terms
