Fibers and Textiles Other Fiber & Textile Materials
In addition to selling Kuraray Group's highly functional textile materials, we develop products that add high value to the materials.
From products closely related to daily life such as agriculture, housing, and clothing to industrial applications, we are developing products that meet a wide range of global needs and enhance the sustainability of society.
Business Features
VECTRAN™ High-performance fiber
VECTRAN™ is a polyarylate-based high-strength fiber made from liquid crystalline polymers with extremely strong molecular bonds.
Its greatest feature is that it is difficult to break even when pulled (high strength). In addition, it is "low water absorbent" (low moisture absorption), "elongation-resistant" (dimensional stability), and "abrasion-resistant" (wear resistance), contributing to the development of diverse industries in various parts of the world.
Agricultural Materials
We handle the following materials.
- For shading, insect control, and salt damage prevention for outdoor vegetables Agricultural plant cover.
- For a problem with ammonia or other bad odors Ammonia odor-dissolving mesh.
- Spider mite insect traps Preliminary inspection materials.
Main Products
VECTRAN™ (filament)
It is a high-strength fiber with low moisture absorption and dimensional stability. We deal in finenesses from 28 dtex to 1670 dtex. We also offer color development using solution-dyed, enabling us to provide products that meet customers' requirements.
VECTRAN™ (woven fabric)
We offer a wide range of fabrics, from 100% VECTRAN™ to ripstop fabrics used for outdoor activities.
Reticulated bags for ballast
Ballast packing bag made of VECTRAN™ and polyethylene with a raschel weave.
Agricultural Plant Cover
Agricultural Plant Cover, which uses PVA fiber, has the ability to retain moisture due to the material's water absorbency, protecting plants from leaf scorch and dryness. The fine fluff provides insect repellency and good light shielding.
Ammonia odor-dissolving mesh sheets
Ammonia odor-dissolving mesh sheet with two types of finely powdered deodorants kneaded into PVC resin. It is characterized by its long-lasting deodorizing effect through repeated adsorption and decomposition of odor molecules.
