... these fibers are widely used as bonding fibers in nonwoven industry. The sheath of the fiber is of a lower melting point than the core and so in elevated temperature, the sheath melts, creating bonding pints with adjacent fibers, either also bicomponent or monocomponent. First commercial application of sheath-core binding fibers has been in carpets and upholstery fabrics.  1, record 1, English, - sheath%2Dcore%20binding%20fibers

Sheath-core fibers : ... are those fibers where one of the components (core) is fully surrounded by the second component (sheath). Adhesion is not always essential for fiber integrity. This structure is employed when it is desirable for the surface to have the property of one of the polymers such as luster, dyeability or stability, while the core may contribute to strength, reduced cost and the like. A highly contoured interface between sheath and core can lead to mechanical interlocking that may be desirable in the absence of good adhesion.  1, record 2, English, - sheath%2Dcore%20fibers
