Nationally significant Chinese fibre innovation pilot readies for start
13/06/2022
Local media have described the national-level centre as the first of its kind to be led by a private enterprise in China. Key milestones thus far in its history include the development and industrial-scale application of antimony-free polyester fibre, according to its website.
This month, though, the facility will officially commence production at a newly constructed pilot plant, specifically designed to move its research and development forward by providing a dedicated local space for testing early-stage innovations in functional and “high-end” fibres.
Reports from within the country suggested that protective and flame-retardant fibres are among those expected to be put into pilot production initially.
