Invista opens polyamide salt facility
20/02/2013
The expanded site will serve the company’s European fibre and plastic customers, with the polymer used in functional activewear for hiking, cycling and running, and intimate apparel and hosiery.
Kurt Burmeister, executive vice-president of Invista Engineering Polymers, said: “The addition of a salt facility in Rozenburg will provide our customers a security of upstream, local supply, while further improving our responsiveness to market needs. With our ability to produce salt, polymer and compounded products in our own European facilities, we can develop new products to meet those needs.”
Invista’s Engineering Polymers business provides reinforced and unreinforced polyamide polymer under its Torzen brand. It recently acquired a polyamide compounding and recycling facility in Born, the Netherlands.
Invista is one of the world’s largest integrated producers of polymers and fibres, primarily for nylon, spandex and polyester applications.
