摘要

INVISTA celebrated the successful start-up of its recently expanded air bag fiber manufacturing plant in Qingpu District of Shanghai. With this expansion, INVISTA becomes the first air bag fiber producer in Asia to exceed the 20 kiloton per year production capacity for a single site. INVISTA established its air bag fiber presence in this location in 2008 to manufacture super-high tenacity nylon 6,6 fibers for automotive air bag applications. With the rapid growth in automotive air bag demand in Asia, the company announced the expansion plan in 2011. In April 2013, expansion was completed and production started.
