Booth 1012
Sharing a booth with sister companies from the Indorama Ventures Group, Trevira is making a first appearance as an exhibitor at IDEA. The manufacturer of polyester specialties is taking the global route with its fiber business and ranks among the leading suppliers of fibers for nonwoven applications. The main focus for this business is in the domestic market, Europe, and in North America.
At the show, Trevira will present PET specialties. With homopolymer fibers there is clear focus on customer-specific developments which can offer evident added value for customers and partners; to which end use the fibers are put to is less decisive here.
Trevira intends to further expand its program for shortcut fibers, e.g. for paper and filtration materials. These fiber types are also available in a flame retardant variant.
As a specialist in polymer modification, Trevira has recently brought a new development onto the market, one that supplies the fibers with a particularly soft handle. The modification in raw material employed can be used for all polymers and is already commercially available for polyester and PLA. It is anticipated that, alongside technical applications, potential for the new development is expected primarily in the field of hygiene.
Trevira will also showcase bicomponent fibers. Today’s standard fiber program already contains a whole series of raw material combinations such as PET/Co-PET, PET/PE and PET/PBT. Trevira is currently working on new modifications, in order to offer suitable products to meet the needs and technical demands of customers. These include, for instance, flame retardant modified bicomponent fiber types for technical applications or fine titres for the filtration sector.
Also on display will be the company’s PLA fibers. In 2010 Trevira introduced PLA fibers into its program, as part of its sustainability concept, using the biopolymer raw material Ingeo by NatureWorks. This product range is a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based fibers, and since then the business has progressed very successfully. The range comprises a series of different fiber types, including bicomponent variants.
Trevira offers PLA fibers for all classic processing technologies such as carding, spunlace, wetlaid and airlaid. Fields of application are hygiene products and technical end uses, including fresh areas as well: niche products and materials with added functions, food packaging, the paper industry and fillings.
