Feedstock:	Different Materials
Product:	Biocomposite

Textile fibre spinning is a process where natural, man-made or synthetic fibres are spinned to texile fibres and yarns. The feedstock fibres are drawn out, twisted, and wound onto a bobbin for further processes in textile or fabric production.

Origin and composition

For textile fibre spinning different types of fibres of biogenic or synthetic origin can be used. This includes e.g. plant or man-made fibres, silk, wool or other animal fibres or synthetic or mineral fibres (glass, carbon). Beside natural fibres from plants and animal-based fibres, several others can be produced from biomass resources. Especially man-made fibres like viscose or lyocell, but also fibres from bio-based polymers like PLA, PHAs, cellulose acetate or bio-based drop-in polymers like polyethylene are possible examples. Also carbon fibres can be of biogenic origin.

Product

Products of textile fibre spinning are twisted textile fibres or yarns that can be used for further processing to produce fabrics, textiles or non-woven fibre materials.

Senbis has two company activities, namely providing third party research to the plastic industry and producing and selling our own developed sustainable products. Our own products are made out of biodegradable plastics made for applications that have a high likelihood of ending up in nature, where they cause lasting harm to our environment. Senbis is the continuation of the former R&D department of Akzo Nobel. The combination of decades of experience in fiber and yarn development, the flexibility of a start-up, and extensive modernized lab and pilot plant facilities give us unique innovation potential. We expect to grow our business in the coming years. The public discussion around the plastic soup is becoming more intense and so will the legislation around the sustainable use of plastics. We have a proven track record of developing high performance biobased & biodegradable solutions for the horticulture, sports, marine, textile, agriculture & greenery sector.
