Invista hikes carpet fiber capacity in the US

A $30 million dollar expansion at Invista’s fiber manufacturing plant in South Carolina will enable the company to rapidly respond to small-lot, carpet fiber demands. The investment represents the industry’s first-ever offering of one-step, small-lot capability specifically for solution-dyed nylon 6,6.

Mill customers and the design community rely on Invista to offer a palette of hundreds of solution-dyed nylon 6,6 colors for each of their unique design preferences. The new technology will expand Invista’s capability to offer sophisticated color families while at the same time improving service.

Invista developed the innovative, proprietary small-lot technology by working closely with equipment manufacturer Truetzschler, which will supply Invista with the highest quality of BCF extrusion technology for this important expansion.

The variety of small-lot nylon 6,6 fibers will initially be offered under Invista’s Antron Lumena brand to serve the global, growing solution-dyed nylon BCF markets.

US-based Invista, is one of the world's largest integrated producers of intermediate chemical products, polymers and fibers, primarily for nylon, spandex and polyester applications. Invista is the owner of the brands Lycra, Coolmax, Cordura, Stainmaster and Antron. The company’s cutting-edge nylon, spandex and polyester technologies are used to manufacture apparel, carpets, automobile components and other products.
