INVISTA
announces the start-up of
the new production line at Tuas site in Singapore
to serve the growing innovation needs
of the Asian regions
for producing Specialty Lycra products
with improved heat set efficiency and
targeted for use with sensitive fibers such as
silk or cellulosics as well as
for use in moulded applications such as bra cups
By heating these fabrics at a lower temperature,
the risk of thermal degradation reduces
as well as the fabric yellowing under the heat.
