FRANKFURT, Germany and SEOUL, South Korea, April 24,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Kolon Industries Inc.(KRX:
120110), top chemical materials and textile maker in South Korea, proposes a sustainable future
through the presentation of carbon reduction technologies and
eco-friendly products at the world's leading international trade
fair for textiles and nonwovens.
Kolon Industries announced on the 24th that it will showcase
aramid Heracron®, PET(Polyester) nonwoven Finon®, and PET leather
Chamude® at Techtextil 2024 to be held in Frankfurt, Germany from April 23 to 26. Techtextil is the world's largest
exhibit for showcasing groundbreaking industrial textile materials
and technologies.
Kolon Industries shares innovative use cases of aramid with
customers. Last year, the company actively implemented digital
transformation within the production process when expanding its
aramid production to 15,310 tons. Realization of faster deliveries,
optimized quality controls and energy monitoring led to lower
carbon emissions and increased customer value. Furthermore, the
company plans to enhance its aramid pulp production energy
efficiency and manufacture products with 30% fewer carbon
emissions, through its production expansion to 3,000tons in the
second half of this year. Aramid pulp is manufactured by cutting
and grounding aramid yarn.
Sustainable products made from recycled water bottles will also
be exhibited. PET non-woven spunbond is expanding its market share
in Europe for carpet applications
by achieving global eco-friendly certifications such as GRS and
EPD. PET leather prioritizes eco-friendliness accredited by GRS and
Oeko-Tex, a European certification system demonstrating zero harm
to the environment and humans. Through these products, Kolon claims
to increase connections with customers in the European and North
American market for flooring and automobile interior materials.
"Techtextil is a good opportunity to showcase our various
textile technologies in the global market," said Chief Operating
Officer Choi Yoeng-baeg. "The European market is especially driving
eco-friendly transitions and we will actively demonstrate our
sustainable technologies," he added.
