Kelheim, one of the leading producers of viscose speciality fibres, has announced that its Viloft viscose short cut fibre has been chosen as the finalist for IDEA16 achievement award.

The award will be presented at IDEA16, the world's preeminent event for nonwovens and engineered fabrics at Boston convention and exhibition centre, from May 2 to 5, 2016. Viloft short cut fibres have been chosen as a finalist of the IDEA16 achievement awards in the raw materials category.

Kelheim offers fibres that are exactly tailored to meet the requirements of the end product and enable the production of wet wipes that distinguish themselves from others. Strength, softness, and bulkiness are the relevant criteria, and Kelheim's products allow these to be controlled precisely during the production process. At the same time, the short cut speciality fibres can be easily incorporated into the wet-laid process and deliver excellent processability, according to a press release.

Kelheim will present short cut fibres and other viscose specialities at IDEA16, section 1, booth 1019.

Sebastian Basel, business manager at Kelheim Fibres said, “Our fibres, in particular our Viloft short cut fibres, enable the manufacture of wipes that by far exceed the requirements of the current INDA/EDANA Flushability Guidelines and disperse completely within a very short amount of time.” (GK)
