Mr Dave Hill
Technical Absorbents Ltd (TAL) is owned by Bluestar Fibres Ltd, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of China National Bluestar Corporation – which in-turn is wholly-owned by ChemChina. Since inception in 1993, TAL has witnessed many changes within the nonwovens industry – predominantly with regards the use of its Super Absorbent Fibre® (SAF®).
In addition to the manufacture of SAF®, TAL also toll manufactures nonwovens, yarns, woven fabrics and finished consumer goods – all containing SAF®. This is as a result of the relationships it has built with some of the world’s leading specialist fibre converters, roll-goods producers and end product manufacturers. It is these networks that have allowed TAL to keep its hands on the pulse of the nonwovens industry.
TAL has noticed a huge growth in the nonwovens industry over recent years in traditional and new specialised application areas. TAL is experiencing tremendous market interest in exploiting the benefits of a fibrous superabsorbent across all sectors of the nonwoven industry. SAF® can be easily converted via the majority of existing web-forming processes producing nonwovens that have an extremely even distribution profile of superabsorbent.
