Trevira, a European manufacturer of branded fibres & filament yarns, has been named winner of ‘Brandenburg Innovation Award for Plastics and Chemistry 2019’ by Brandenburg ministry of economic affairs for its new flame retardant, UV-resistant polyester yarn. The yarn, which is available in a variety of colours, is specially designed for outdoor applications.

Trevira’s yarn was selected for the award by a jury of five, with the prize-giving ceremony taking place at Cluster Conference Plastics and Chemistry on November 21.

Trevira GmbH’s innovative new yarn combines multiple qualities in a way never before achieved for a polyester textile. The yarn features permanently integrated flame retardancy and UV protection, along with durable colour that is highly resistant to washing. It has immense potential for numerous applications in highly regulated outdoor sectors – for example in areas such as lounge furnishings for cruise ships.

“We are extremely pleased that our innovative development has been recognised by the jury of the Brandenburg Innovation Award. Our product demonstrates the enormous talent and potential of our development department,” said CEO Klaus Holz of Trevira.

Five companies were nominated for this year’s innovation award, which carries a €10,000 prize. As part of the selection process, each company was invited to meet the jury in person to talk about their product. The Brandenburg ministry for economic affairs described the prize as rewarding outstanding ideas and solutions by Brandenburg start-ups and companies, along with creative solutions from cross-sector partnerships between companies and research institutions.

Trevira has a worldwide reputation for fibres and yarns for flame retardant polyester home textiles (Trevira CS), for its fibre specialties for hygiene products and technical applications as well as for low-pill fibres for functional apparel.
