“The new products will comprise complex fibres, filaments and web formations as well as chemical treatment and printing applications,” a Mogul press release stated.
The high grade production lines include processes such as splittable bi-component filaments as well as cross-lap spunlace and are scheduled to become operational during the second half of 2016.
Mogul plans to leverage their experience in spunbond and spunlace to evolve new products using the latest bico and microfilament technology.
Mogul specifically addressed this goal by acquiring patents for unique micro-filament structures from North Carolina State University.
Mogul's first venture into bico technology was with its Buffalo brand fabrics which required development of expertise uniquely separate from common fibre extrusion processes.
“This technology produces cloth-like fabrics to address markets such as clothing and upholstery including suitability for ink jet printing as well as wipes and other technical applications,” Mogul added in the press release.
The new cross-lap spunlace technology compliments Mogul's existing spunlace fabric offerings and targets demand in automotive, artificial leather, dry wipes, depilation pads, roofing and medical and hygiene markets.
“The cross-lap line will incorporate latest technology in-line impregnation for fabric padding, acrylic binding, water and alcohol repellent treatments, flame retardant treatment and fabric colouring,” it stated.
CEO Serkan Gogus said, “At Mogul we pursue our business aggressively throughout all its facets and associated technological advancements.”
“This is how we remain competitive in our markets, by utilising our knowledge to evolve new products which respond to market needs,” he added.
“With our new venture, we aim to obtain more durable, efficient and natural comfort fabrics which will open new frontiers for us,” Gogus added.
According to Mogul, this is the first stage investment of a three phase investment plan for the Luleburgaz plant intending to eventually triple initial capacity. (AR)
