"Differentiation" going beyond synthetic and natural fibres Textile products move from garments into the industrial field
In the fibre and textile business, Unitika enhances the applications of industrial fibres by further promoting a shift to advanced materials. For application to civil engineering and construction, we provide sheets for construction work, mesh sheets for ground reinforcement, sealing sheets, etc. In the PVA market, which has grown considerably over recent years, PVA short fibres which are used for reinforcing cement and as a substitute for asbestos, and Super Mewlon, which has a strength 1.5 times greater than that of conventional PVA, are expected to play an active role.
