Multifilament Fiber Cutting

Are you having trouble getting your multifilament yarn or tow cut to the lengths your customers desire with consistent, high-quality results? Are you trying to find a particular type of fiber in short cut lengths, but your suppliers claim it can’t be done? MiniFIBERS has been cutting fiber for almost 60 years, and we routinely find ways to cut fiber that other companies can’t. Some of the specialty multifilament fibers MiniFIBERS has cut include aramid, fluoropolymer (PTFE and PVDF), liquid crystal polymer (LCP), oxidized PAN, polybenzimidazole (PBI), polyoxadiazole (POD) , spandex or elastane fibers, and high performance polyethylene (UHMW / HMPE).

Multifilament Yarn Extrusion

MiniFIBERS offers custom production of specialty multifilament yarns via the melt extrusion process. Using polymers provided by our customers, as well as any additives or spin finishes required, our custom built equipment can produce yarns made to your specifications. Our on site laboratory is able to accurately test and report a wide variety of parameters such as denier, elongation, tenacity, modulus, shrinkage, and other properties as required. We also offer pilot trial services to prove new or novel polymers. We can take your project from a pellet to a yarn and, if desired, convert it into short or staple length fibers for use in a wider variety of applications.

Staple Fiber Crimping & Cutting

MiniFIBERS has the ability to mechanically crimp and cut a variety of specialty yarns such as Dyneema®, Vectran™ and other technical fibers to convert them into staple fibers for yarn spinning or nonwoven applications. We also have a unique proprietary process for opening fiber bundles to promote more effective carding or distribution of fibers in your end process.

Fiber Finishing

MiniFIBERS offers a variety of specialty fiber finishes which can be applied during the extrusion or cutting process to improve the performance of the fibers in specific processes or applications. We can also apply custom finishes supplied by our customers.
