What is Bemliese™
Bemliese™ is a cellulose continuous filament spunbond nonwoven material that uses 100% upcycled cotton linter and is fully biodegradable. The continuous filament structure with no staple fibers sets Bemliese™ apart from other materials. The cotton linter delivers extraordinarily high liquid absorption, retention, purity, and is nearly lint-free. Bemliese™ is available in a wide range of patterns and filament diameters to allow for customization.
Why use Bemliese™
BemlieseTM provides current and upcoming products with premium performance and quality. Product development and manufacturing require a solid commitment to sustainability and innovation. BemlieseTM offers three main unique categories: sustainable beauty, dry vs. wet, and absolute sustainability, showcasing decades of research and development.
Sustainable Beauty:
Cosmetic facial masks made from Bemliese™ have made waves in sustainable beauty throughout Asia, attracting world-class cosmetics developers with their unrivaled absorbency and performance. Cosmetic face sheets made from Bemliese™ absorb and hold formulas effectively while contouring to the face; from the moment it touches the skin it stays in place. This allows for the even application of the formula to the skin, yielding superior results. In addition, unlike traditional face sheets that commonly contain plastics, Bemliese™ touts a 100% sustainable source, clean production, and fast biodegradability. Bemliese™ has resonated in the industry, where consumers have begun abandoning their usual products in favor of more environmentally friendly ones.
Dry vs. Wet:
Unlike traditional cotton products, Bemliese™ leaves virtually no lint, scratches, or chemicals on any surface it touches, making it incredibly useful for cleaning equipment, especially in the manufacturing, electronic, and medical industries. It is incredibly absorptive in its dry state, boasting a higher absorbency than wipes made from pulp, rayon/PET, or nonwoven cotton. Conversely, it becomes extraordinarily soft when moistened and covers complicated contours while leaving no abrasion, making it an ideal product for hygiene and cosmetics applications.
Advantages
High Biodegradability
Because Bemliese™ is made from a naturally derived material, it is highly biodegradable and can be decomposed by living organisms.
-
High Transparency
When Bemliese™ is wet, it becomes highly transparent.
-
High Adhesion
Bemliese™ becomes soft from absorbing liquid. Making it an ideal material for facial sheet masks due to its perfect fit to the skin along facial contours.
-
High Purity
Bemliese™ is completely free of additives, oil solution or binding agents.
-
High Liquid Absorption & Retention
The filament structure is designed for superior liquid absorption and is able to retain liquid 13 times its own weight.
-
Low Particle/Low Lint
Continuous filament Bemliese™ significantly reduces lint compared to many short fiber materials.
-
Low Electrostatic Charge
Since moisture contained in the Bemliese™ filaments releases static electricity into the air, the filaments are not easily charged.
-
High Heat Resistance
Bemliese™ withstands temperatures up to 260℃. It is free from softening and decomposition characteristics of synthetic fabrics.
-
Non-Abrasive
Since the cross-section of the Bemliese™ filament is nearly circular in comparison to other filaments, it reduces friction and abrasion damage when rubbed.
