INVISTA Polymers and Resins also includes a recycle business unit devoted exclusively to post-consumer disposal and trading.
INVISTA Polymer and Resins is committed to being the world's most reliable, responsive and value-focused supplier of polyester intermediates and polymer. INVISTA's standard and customized polymers and PET resins create value for customers by providing the specific product characteristics, and performance that allows them to be most profitable. Listening to customers' needs has led to the development of an array of diverse products for numerous industries and applications, including the POLYCLEAR® resin line of products, PERFORMA™ film and sheet, and POLYSHIELD ® resin. With 50 years of manufacturing experience across the polyester chain, INVISTA has a truly unique degree of expertise within the industry. INVISTA is known for its manufacturing consistency and reliability, as well as for providing unequalled technical expertise and a highly trained customer service staff. Product innovations have helped to create new markets where polyester previously did not perform well or was not economically competitive. The POLYCLEAR® resin family of PET polymers serve a variety of markets including carbonated soft drink, water, beer, juice, food and custom container applications. Containers made from POLYCLEAR® resin offer pristine color, clarity and gloss and provide optimum consumer appeal. In addition, POLYCLEAR® resin can be reclaimed in available PET recycling chains. POLYSHIELD® resin technology delivers a superior monolayer PET bottle for barrier packaging applications. Packaging manufacturers can now provide high barrier, lightweight containers without the need for extensive capital investment or costly operator training. Monolayer bottles made from POLYSHIELD® resin are truly exceptional in providing fresh taste throughout the entire shelf life and exhibiting superior clarity. In addition, amber and green bottles made from POLYSHIELD® resin are less expensive to produce than traditional containers. With the addition of an additive, POLYSHIELD® resin technology allows packaging manufacturers to use standard preform injection molding equipment.
INVISTA also offers a range of high-performance polyester staple fibers for nonwoven and industrial applications, and continuous filament tow. The fibers are engineered for diverse markets and applications, including hygiene and absorbent products, filtration, automotive products and carpets. INVISTA Type 295™ polyester staple fiber combines exceptional whiteness, uniformity, processing ease, loft and recovery, and excellent bonding with chemical resins or low-melt binder fibers. In addition, POLARGUARD® continuous filament polyester fiber is recognized for durable, thermally efficient sleeping bags and outerwear.
