  • NONWOVEN WEB COMPRISING POLYLACTIC ACID, ITS MANUFACTURING PROCESS AND FOOD PACKAGING COMPRISING SUCH A NONWOVEN WEB
    Publication number: 20230374711
    Abstract: A heat-resistant nonwoven melt-bonded web, in particular by spun bonding, comprising at least: —a first layer comprising first fibers —a second layer comprising second fibers in which at least one of the first fibers of the first layer (1) or the second fibers of the second layer (2) comprise a polylactic acid stereocomplex representing at least 20% by volume relative to the total volume of the constituents of the first or second fibers.

  • POLYLACTIC ACID-FIBERS BASED NON-WOVEN, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THEREOF AND ITS USE FOR MAKING COFFEE AND/OR CAPSULES IN PERCOLATING APPARATUS
    Publication number: 20210371144
    Abstract: A non-woven fabric comprising bicomponent fibers. The non-woven fabric has a core containing polylactic acid (PLA-1), coated with an envelope containing polylactic acid (PLA-2). The fibers are characterised in that PLA-1 is a copolymer of lactic acid monomers L1 and lactic acid monomers D1, and PLA-2 is a copolymer of lactic acid monomers L2 and lactic acid D2, whose D2 monomers rate is greater than the monomers rate D1 of PLA-1. The core further contains a polymeric plasticizer. The non-woven fabric may be used for making coffee filters and/or capsules via a thermoforming process for use in a percolating apparatus.
