[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] Toray Advanced Materials announced on the 7th that it has developed 'Bico' nonwoven fabric for mask lining, which drastically improves the issue of pilling.

The Bico nonwoven fabric applies Toray Advanced Materials' proprietary material composite technology to reduce pilling that can occur when the nonwoven fabric comes into contact with the skin. Accordingly, the company explained that even when wearing a mask for a long time, it maintains a soft wearing sensation and minimizes skin irritation.

This product also meets the mask nonwoven fabric standard regulations newly established by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety last year, allowing it to be applied to health masks with only notification, without a separate approval process.

The Bico nonwoven fabric is produced by melt-blending two raw materials, polypropylene and polyethylene.

Toray Advanced Materials, the number one nonwoven fabric company in the Asian market, has previously launched mask nonwoven fabrics that increase mask production speed by five times, as well as colored masks and droplet-blocking mask nonwoven fabrics.
