Cellulose Fiber Biomid™

100% HIGHLY CRISTALLINE CELLULOSE FIBER
Made of Lumber Industry by-products
Obtained by mechanical process(unlike Viscose rayon which is obtained by chemical reaction)
BIOMID® is a 11µ filament diameter , 183 Tex roving Bobbins of 1 / 3 / 4.5 kgs

Main Features of BIOMID®Fiber

Almost half the weight of glass fiber, on-par in density with Aramid fiber
Stable to 360°C, or about double most thermoplastics and native natural fibers
Specific properties of BIOMID® laminates are often higher than those made of glass fiber
Much less abrasive than glass fiber
Translucent and Odourless (not opaque like traditional natural fibers)
Volume of 183 Tex BIOMID® is similar to
- 3K Carbon fiber
- 1420 denier Aramid fiber
- 940 denier HMPP fiber
- 300 Tex e-glass roving

Comparison of BIOMID® Fiber with Glass and Bast Fibers

Property	Glass Fiber	BIOMID®	Traditional Natural Fibers	Comments
Light weight	2.54	1.5	1.5	Almost Half the weight
Renewable	No	Yes	Yes	Glass is a mineral fiber
Abrasive	No	Yes	Yes	Better worker comfort
