Indorama Ventures was pleased to exhibit the Trevira CS® brand together with 17 Trevira CS partner companies at the Heimtextil trade fair in Frankfurt, Germany.
This year Trevira CS is celebrating its 45th anniversary! In 1980 Trevira CS® was launched on the market, at that time a pioneer for permanently flame retardant textiles whose flame retardant properties neither wash out nor are lost through ageing or use. They are characterised by the fact that they meet all essential fire protection standards without the need for a chemical finish.
Fabrics made from specially produced flame-retardant polyester can be labelled as Trevira CS after passing a brand test. Samples, brochures, pictures and short anecdotes from 45 years of Trevira CS was on display in a special area of the exhibition stand, inviting visitors to browse and smile.
In the anniversary year the focus of the Trevira CS® joint stand was on permanent flame retardancy and the sustainability approaches of Trevira CS fabrics, which are known for their outstanding properties and versatility in the textile industry.
Not only was the latest yarn and fabric developments from the 17 partners presented, the three sustainability approaches from 1. pre-consumer recycling, 2. the Trevira CS take-back concept in cooperation with the company ALTEX Textil-Recycling GmbH & Co. KG in Gronau, Germany and 3. developments from chemically recycled raw material, but also all submissions to the Trevira CS Fabric Competition 2025.
This encouraged Trevira CS participants to explore the interfaces between permanent flame retardancy, textile design, functionality and safety and to submit articles for five different categories.
The BREATHAIR® brand, a 3D upholstery material, was also presented at the trade fair. This innovative and recyclable product has been specially developed for the upholstery industry and offers new possibilities for sustainable and comfortable furniture designs. Thanks to the nature of BREATHAIR®, it can be recycled at the end of its life cycle. Visitors to the trade fair had the opportunity to experience the unique comfort of BREATHAIR® up close in a seating lab. Four stools were available at the Indorama Ventures stand, which are designed in different Breathair variants (height and compression hardness). There was also a stool equipped with conventional upholstery material.
Erpo Möbelwerk GmbH, a "manufactory for seating culture" based in Baden-Württemberg, presented two extraordinary armchairs at the Indorama Ventures stand - classics in a modern cubic design with innovative upholstery materials. The recyclable Breathair® in the seat and back cushions creates an incomparable sitting experience that enables ergonomically comfortable seating with consistent quality for many years to come. With the swivel base, the armchairs invite you to communicate, focus and linger at home as well as in lobbies and lounges.
The Deja™ brand is an integral part of Indorama Ventures' commitment to long-term sustainability through recycling and bio-based materials. The product portfolio includes chips, as well as various staple fibers and filament yarns in multiple titer and yarn specifications.
In cooperation with Auping and TWE, Indorama Ventures and Deja™ developed an innovative mattress consisting of two basic components. This new design allows for easier disassembly and therefore more efficient recycling. The partnership aims to promote the circular economy and reduce the environmental impact of mattresses. By using recyclable materials and reducing waste, the companies are actively contributing to a more sustainable future.
