Mitsui Chemicals has developed AIRYFA, the first flexible nonwoven with high strength by exploiting its proprietary polyolefin spinning technology. AIRYFA is a high-performance nonwoven that is gentle on skin, simultaneously materialising softness and strength. It is an eco-friendly nonwoven since it reduces the amount of plastic used as a raw material.

By capitalising on the company’s proprietary polyolefin spinning technology and producing this thin textile with a hollow structure that is characterised by a superior soft feeling and evenness, Mitsui Chemicals has simultaneously realised both softness and strength, which the conventional technology could not achieve.

This is an eco-friendly nonwoven that takes global environmental issues into consideration since the thin textile with a hollow structure reduces the amount of plastic used as a raw material. The name AIRYFA is intended to represent airy (very light and soft) fabric.

Mitsui Chemicals has developed various high-performance nonwovens, such as bulky and highly flexible nonwovens, nonwovens with excellent elasticity, and the new nonwoven AIRYFA for sanitary goods, including disposable diapers. To reinforce its leadership in Asia, Mitsui Chemicals, as a solution provider capable of meeting customers’ requests for quality improvement, will continue to contribute to an enhanced Quality of Life while further developing new high-performance nonwovens, the company said.
