Reicofil and Biax-Fiberfilm announced a new collaboration today at IDEA10. The two companies signed an agreement cooperation concerning meltblown technology in February to develop a line technology offering a perfect process at all times.

The Reicofil technology works with air laterally blown onto the complete row of boreholes while the Biax technology enables air to be blown around the circumference of each individual filament. The different between these two processes has a significant effect on filament strength, porosity, hydrohead and filter separation degree of the meltblown fabric.

The two companies are working to combe their technologies to offer the highest possibility to cover a broad spectrum of applications. Reicofil customers will be able to retrofit their existing lines with the switchover technology in a process that takes about two to four days.
