Performance materials developer Teijin Frontier has announced that it will increase production capacity at its factory in Thailand.

It said it would increase the number of spinning and drawing machines at the factory to grow its capacity for producing conjugate filaments, for which Teijin said there was rising global demand.

Conjugate filaments are produced by simultaneously spinning two different polymers from a divided spinneret, resulting in a single fibre. 

The expanded facility will commence full-scale production before the end of September.
