Indonesia's PT Asia Pacific Fibers gets UV STANDARD 801 certification

This achievement provides high confidence to compete in the global market for the best awnings with the beneficial advantage of UV protection, as stated in a press by TESTEX, a globally operating, independent Swiss testing and certification organisation with a focus on textile and leather testing.

The UV STANDARD 801 is a certification system for clothing and shading textiles. It provides reliable sun protection for consumers and has the world’s strictest testing standard for sun protective garments and textiles. The testing procedure determines the ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) of textiles. The UV STANDARD 801 also ensures that textiles are tested in both, a new and used condition to represent their realistic use (stretched, wet, mechanical wear and tear and laundering).

The Indonesia-based integrated polyester player manufactures and markets polyester chips, staple fibres, filament yarns and fleece fabrics along with captive purified terephthalic acid (PTA).

They have evolved into Indonesia’s most progressive, flexible, and fully integrated polyester producer, ranking among some of the best in the world.
