Invista Europe Polymer & Resins renews commitment to innovation

Leveraging its strengths in innovation, in its assets and its operational excellence, the Invista European DMT and Polyester business is looking at each aspect of the business for further growth opportunities and improvements.

The key focus areas for the business remain innovation and creating value for its customers by providing high-value packaging resins, like PolyShield® resin, specialty polymers and DMT sales, as well as a portfolio renewal of technically-challenging polymers. While continuing to provide its customers with the existing range of high quality products and services, Invista is also further developing its wide-range of polymer products by adding new features for new market applications.

The primary production facility in Europe for Invista Polymer & Resins is situated in Gersthofen, Germany. A wide-variety of DMT- and PTA-based polyesters (Homo-, Co-Polymers, traditional and alternative catalyst systems, varying IV’s) for technical, textile, film and packaging applications are manufactured at this site.

The continuous pilotscale polyester polycondensation line at the research and development center in Gersthofen offers the flexibility to produce customized polyesters via DMT or PTA. This line allows the scaling-up of supply from small trial quantities to various bulk market quantities from one source, depending on the customer’s needs. Invista Polymer & Resins is also offering this R&D service to the market.
