More than half of the annual production of 45 million tons of PET used today is processed into manmade fibres. These make wrinkle-free and tear-resistant textiles, which absorb very little water. They are, therefore, ideal for clothing that needs to dry quickly and such fibres are also used in geotextiles for stabilising roads and dams. - See more at: http://www.innovationintextiles.com/fibres-yarns-fabrics/technology...

Technology transfer: From manmade fibres to plastic bottles 0 comment Today, over 200 billion bottles of water are drunk every year and bottles made of synthetic materials have virtually replaced glass as a packaging material for water and other drinks. Bottles made of synthetic polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are not only practical and unbreakable but because of their low weight, transporting them also consumes less energy. A further advantage is that the material can be easily recycled. More than half of the annual production of 45 million tons of PET used today is processed into manmade fibres. These make wrinkle-free and tear-resistant textiles, which absorb very little water. They are, therefore, ideal for clothing that needs to dry quickly and such fibres are also used in geotextiles for stabilising roads and dams. Oerlikon Barmag, a division of the Oerlikon Group's Manmade Fibers Segment, is a specialist in the manufacturing of equipment for the production of such fibres and with its high level of technological expertise in the production and handling of synthetic materials, the company has recently enabled a customer in Egypt to establish itself in the growing market for bottle grade granulate by constructing a plant from planning to commissioning. -
