Polyolefin Based Products: Monocomponent and Bicomponent Fibers
Indorama Ventures develops, manufactures, and markets polyolefin fibers for nonwoven, textile and industrial applications. Our fibers are used in nonwovens made by carding, wet lay and air laid web formation processes and consolidated by thermal bonding, air through bonding, needle punching and spunlacing.
Indorama Ventures is the global leader in developing, manufacturing and marketing polyolefin staple fibers for nonwoven applications. Through our joint venture ES Indorama Ventures, we are also the world’s leading supplier of bicomponent fibers.
We use proprietary technology and state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities to supply innovative products to customers in industries such as hygiene, textiles, automotive and construction. With the broadest product portfolio of any polyolefin staple fiber company and manufacturing sites around the world, we can supply you with the products you need where you need them.
