The challenge of man-made fiber production

The production of fiber products that meet market needs nowadays confronts producers with a range of challenges. Ever greater throughputs combined with continuously growing quality demands mark the trend on the fibers market, as do ever larger plant capacities and rising spinning speeds.

For Sachtleben, the specialist in Hombitan anatase microcrystals, this signifies the need to master and optimize the complex high-tech process, the guarantor of innovative, high-quality products. With its top-quality Hombitan anatase microcrystals for a range of man-made fibers, Sachtleben is the world's acknowledged quality leader in the field of spun fiber delustering.

As if that were not enough. Every future-oriented strategy also needs revolutionary innovations. To survive on the market, it is necessary to continually develop new fibers for ever more applications. Sachtleben's functional additives enable textiles and fiber manufacturers to create products with completely novel characteristics. E.g. polymercatalysts based on highly effektive titanium for the production of polyester.

For Sachtleben, this means working together with the customer on the development of new products and introducing tailor-made specialities. This is the strategy which enables us to meet the extreme challenges of cost reduction and quality improvement jointly with our customers, on the basis of intensive cooperation from the very start.
