They are a great choice for many applications due to their versatility and performances. The global demand for high-performance technical fibers and textiles is escalating, addressing critical requirements across diverse industries. This ranges from heavy-duty architectural textiles to anti-slip treatment of conveyor belts, via airbags for the automotive sector.
