EnglishA CONTRIBUTION TO THE ECOLOGICAL FUTURE
Man-made fibres are used in several technical applications and also help solve with environmental problems.
Light weight by Man-made fibres
Man-made fibres are indispensable raw materials for light weight constructions. Synthetic fibres are precursors for carbon fibres that are processed into modern composite materials, for use as metal substitutes. With the use of composite materials in aircraft and automotive industry high reduction in weight and significant decrease of fuel consumption can be achieved
Insulating materials save energy
Up to 80 million tonnes of CO2 emissions can be avoided annually with insulating materials. Man-made fibres are processed into nonwovens – for use in buildings as insulating and sealing materials in facades, floors and windows or as roofing sheets. Energy savings achieved with innovative products based on man-made fibres are higher than the energy input needed in the production of these products and fibres
Strong presence in environmental protection
At the workplace, in production, in exhaust gas and air purification. Almost always in the background, unseen and unnoticed – man-made fibres make active contributions to clean water and air. As nonwovens, man-made fibres filter liquids, collect solids and e. g. purify waste air from power plants by removing pollutant particles. Only man-made fibres can resist such a wide range of thermal and chemical strains.
Man-made fibres are the solution
Humans and the environment must adapt to changing conditions that come with climate change. Man-made fibres are the solution. As nonwovens, wovens and nets they make foundation materials for roads on less stable ground and also help reinforce ways, dams and heaps
