Biodegradable

The filaments meet the requirements to be used in 100% biodegradable textile structures or hybrid structures where a part of the yarns are bio-degradable and a part not, to give a permanent mechanical support after degradation of the biomaterials.

The degradation time of the filaments depends on;

  • Polymer type
  • Molecular weight and viscosity
  • Processing (°C, draw ratio,…)
  • Location of the implant (humidity, cellular activity,…)
