Bemliese™ nonwoven line has now been certified for industrial compost, home compost, soil biodegradability, and marine biodegradability by TUV AUSTRIA Belgium NV.
Bemliese™ is a nonwoven fabric sheet made from cotton linter, tiny hair-like fibers on cotton seeds.
Through science, Asahi Kasei is the only company in the world that has developed a clean proprietary process for treating this linter to produce sheets that can be integrated into a diverse array of product designs.
Cosmetic facial masks made from Bemliese™ have made waves in sustainable beauty throughout Asia, attracting world-class cosmetics developers like L’Oréal and KOSÉ Group with their unrivaled absorbency and performance. These face sheets made from cotton linter absorb and hold formulas that rejuvenate skin far more efficiently and stick to every contour of the face from the moment it touches the skin and stays in place.
When dry, Bemliese™ leaves virtually no lint, scratches, or chemicals on the surfaces it touches, making it an ideal material for cleaning equipment in the industrial, laboratory, or medical environments that must remain contamination-free. Its high purity keeps the material free from excess oils or chemicals inherent in similar materials.
