01 Knowledge centre

A smoother surface

A siliconised finish gives fibres a smooth, low-friction surface that helps them move against each other. This contributes to a soft feel and easier redistribution.

Choose between virgin hollow conjugated siliconised fibre and Unicurl fibre balls for your filling application.

02 Knowledge centre

Unicurl fibre clusters

Unicurl consists of rounded polyester fibre clusters that create lightweight bulk in pillows, cushions, sofa backs and pet beds.

The smooth finish can help limit excessive clumping. Loose filling can still move, so it is not a guarantee that a finished product will never clump.

03 Knowledge centre

Specify the application

Describe the manufactured product and desired loft, feel and recovery. Confirm current characteristics and availability. Unicurl is supplied by kilogram in bales; evaluate filling quantity and product construction together.
