摘要

Polymer group, inc. (pgi) recently unveiled a new platform technology to produce nonwovens containing submicron fibers that can deliver improved performance properties for healthcare, industrial, filtration and new emerging market applications. Pgi's proprietary arium technology produces a matrix of fibers predominately sized under one micron in diameter. "arium is a completely new technology platform for the industry that will enable us to meet the market need for increasingly cost-effective fabrics with improved performance at a value proposition unmatched by any other submicron fiber technology," said veronica "ronee" hagen, pgi's chief executive officer. "just as we did with our apex and spinlace technologies, pgi is leading the industry and investing in game-changing platforms."
