MiniFIBERS, Inc. is the leading manufacturer and marketer of specialty fiber products to the specialty paper, filtration, textile, coatings, adhesives, sealants, composites and construction markets around the world. The company is family owned, and founded in 1967 based on proprietary technology designed to precision cut synthetic fibers, eliminating the defects which previous technologies typically produced.MiniFIBERS business today is based in four technologies. We remain the leading producer of precision cut synthetic fibers, producing and marketing a wide range of length based on many synthetic yarns. In addition, we are happy to custom cut fibers provided to us by our customers. Our second technology is based on our long relationship with Mitsui Chemicals, as their partner distributing the synthetic wood pulp product Fybrel. This high density polyethylene (HDPE) highly fibrillated fiber is used in many specialty paper, filtration, and fiber cement applications. MiniFIBERS takes Fybrel to produce our proprietary dry additive fiber called Short Stuff. Short Stuff is a very effective property modifier for coatings, adhesives, sealant and construction applications; improving crack resistance, ductility, strength, and dimensional stability. In addition, Short Stuff provides excellent rheological performance contributing outstanding sag resistance with optimum flow and leveling. Our last technology is the production of specialty, melt spun, partially oriented (POY) yarns. Products based on PPS, Kynar, Hytrel, Low Melt Polyethylene, LLDPE, and PBT are available.
