Teijin Limited, Japan’s fibre making firm, is set to exhibit a variety of advanced materials and solutions at Asia Nonwovens Exhibition (ANEX) 2015, one of the global nonwoven industry’s top three shows, to be held at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center in China from May 13 to 15, 2015.

The Teijin booth will present the various proprietary polyester materials and related high-performance solutions at the expo, like Nanofront, the world’s first 700-nanometer ultra-fine polyester fibre that features superior fitting, slip resistance, heat and light shielding, and filtering properties. It is used for diverse applications, including clothing and industrial applications such as filters and heat-shielding sheets.

The Japanese company will also showcase ultra-fine short-cut fibre engineered specially for wet-laid nonwoven fabrics. It offers high-level processing, excellent water dispersion and customization. It is used in papermaking and many other products, Teijin informs in a media release.

Teijin will display elk, a lightweight, durable, cushiony and breathable material that serves as an excellent substitute for polyurethane in a range of cushioning applications. The Teijin display will also include a desiccating, humidity-conditioning thin sheet made of high-performance moisture-absorbing fibre that effectively inhibits condensation. Highly durable, it can be used repeatedly for moisture absorption and release.

Filament nonwoven fabric that conforms effectively to moulded shapes that offers high-level heat-sealability and printability, will also be exhibited.

High-performance, value-added composite materials are one of the four key businesses pillars targeted under the transformation and growth strategies in Teijin’s current medium-term business plan. Fields that offer promising opportunities for Teijin’s high-performance fibres include safety, infrastructure and energy, functional paper and filters, and mobility.

Teijin is a technology-driven global group offering advanced solutions in the areas of sustainable transportation, information and electronics, safety and protection, environment and energy, and healthcare. Its main fields of operation are high-performance fibres such as aramid, carbon fibres & composites, healthcare, films, resin & plastic processing, polyester fibres, products converting and IT. (GK)
