Goulston Technologies', Chris Hagler described the company's latest advances in Ingeo fiber surface modification for fibers and nonwovens, emphasizing Goulston's core strength in tailoring the finish chemistry to meet the specific application demand. Goulston now has a formal relationship with Polyvel, which has been a long-time provider of additives for a wide variety of Ingeo packaging applications.

Fiber Innovation Technology co-founder, Dr. Jeff Dugan, described his organization's long relationship with NatureWorks since it became the first Ingeo fibers master licensee partner in 2003. Fiber Innovation Technology has extensive experience with and knowledge of Ingeo fibers and processing, and Dugan shared the latest innovations and ongoing work on producing Ingeo (PLA/PLA) binder fibers with significantly improved bond strength.

The fibers and nonwovens conference track was moderated by Robert Green, NatureWorks' business director for Ingeo fibers and nonwovens. Green said, “In addition to the individual advances shared in Dallas, an overarching takeaway from the session is that there is now increasing momentum throughout the supply chain in terms of the technology and expertise required to process Ingeo fibers and nonwovens.”
