At Index 2014, Trevira presents polyester and bicomponent fibres for nonwoven applications in hygiene products, filtration, insulation, construction, the paper industry, composites and other materials. 
 
Trevira’s range of staple fibres for nonwovens includes:
-Bicomponent fibres: Used for thermal bonding, used in hy giene products such as napkins and lady care, as well as in technical nonwovens, e.g. for insulation and filtration materials in the automotive sector.
 
-Short cut fibres: Used airlaid and wetlaid applications, e.g. hygiene products or the paper industry. A part of this range is also available as bicomponent, PLA (Ingeo) and permanently flame retardant fibres.
 
-PLA fibres (Ingeo): The biodegradable (compostable) fibres made from renewable plant compounds are currently available in various versions. Trevira is producing different types applicable for spunlace, wetlaid and carding applications. Possible end uses are wet wipes (e.g. cleaning cloths), hygiene products and technical nonwovens.
 
-Special types for hydro-entangled nonwovens: These are not only employed in the manufacture of wet and cosmetic wipes, but also increasingly in technical end uses
Trevira’s product range for technical applications is completed by a vast range of flat and textured filament yarns, either in raw white, spun-dyed or yarn-dyed. They include permanently flame retardant types and hybrid versions with a low-melt component as well as elastic yarns and suit all kinds of specific technical applications.
