A review of developments in microfiber manufacturing technology focuses on polyester "supermicrofibers" that are initially produced as bicomponent fibers and then split apart using alkali treatments. Currently, there are two ways to manufacture supermicrofibers: by splitting a fiber in a multiradical manner or by dissolving sections away from a central core. The advantages of the first process include good firmness and low weight; advantages of the second include better uniformity and a softer hand when woven into fabric. Kanebo's research with the Belima-X bicomponent microfiber led to the introduction of water repellent Belseta fabric and Bellseime imitation leather. Kanebo's lightweight Nazca fabric, spun from the firm's Cosmo-Alpha bicomponent microfiber, is intended for women's summer dresses and blouses and exhibits a supple yet soft hand and excellent drape characteristics. 1 ref.
