Microfiber technology

Microfiber is an extremely thin fibre, with a thickness of less than one denier (0.3–0.9 dtex). To put this in perspective, silk fibers are about twice as thick (1.24 dtex), cotton fibers three to four times as thick, and human hairs are one hundred times as thick as microfibers. One gram of microfiber can be up to 50 kilometres in length. These fine fibers are woven to form a fabric and this fabric is then subject to a special process that splits it again into several small fibers. This procedure creates a high density and a larger fiber surface area. It also creates several minute cavities in the fibers. These cavities can hold water and thus give the fibers five times the absorbency of cotton. In microfiber cleaning cloths, for example, the super-fine fibers work like so many tiny brushes, simply brushing up the dirt. This can cut down on cleaning products by up to 80% good news for the environment!
Microfiber fabrics are extremely soft and hold their shape very well. They are produced from a range of materials, although polyester and polyamide are the most frequently used.

All bellanet microfibers are fluff-free, extremely absorbent and produced in an environmentally-friendly process.

In order to ensure consistent high quality, bellanet regularly supervises its production locations and long-standing suppliers in Europe and Asia.
