STAPLE FIBRE
RadiciGroup’s latest staple fibre products have been developed with sustainability in mind. At Domotex 2013, RadiciGroup is launching dorix® PA6.10, a new PA6.10-based staple fibre manufactured with a polymer made of 64% natural materials by weight. The polymer is produced by Radici Chimica SpA (a company belonging to the RadiciGroup Chemicals Business Area) starting from hexamethylenediamine and sebacic acid. Thus the new staple fibre ensures a high level of sustainability, in addition to excellent performance. “Since the acquisition of the German firm dorix GmbH,” said Filippo Bona, R&D manager of Radici Yarn, “we have concentrated our efforts on expanding our staple fibre range so as to offer our customers an increasingly more complete and differentiated selection of products. Starting in 2013, we will offer not only raw and solution-dyed PA6 staple fibre but also an eco-sustainable nylon-6.10 line under the dorix® brand name. We would like our loyal customers to recognize this brand as synonymous with ever high quality, flexibility and performance, as well as low environmental impact.” “Collaboration with our downstream customers and partners,” said Daniele Zanoletti, sales manager of Radici Yarn, “is central to our product development work. Our new dorix® PA6.10 staple fibre – produced using the know-how of RadiciGroup Chemicals in Novara, Italy – is just one example of our commitment to supporting our customers in the sustainability challenge by developing, with and for them, new products with a smaller environmental footprint.”
