Davy Textiles supply fibres as staple, recycled or short cut fibres with outstanding quality control throughout processing.

Staple Fibres – 30mm – 150mm (Virgin and Recycled grades)

Recycled Fibres – 20mm-150mm – opened, garneted, pulled, carded

Short Cut Fibres – 3mm – 20mm

High performance Staple and Recycled Fibres are usually supplied to Spinning and Nonwoven manufacturers developing products with high performance properties.

Short Cut Fibres are usually sold for reinforcement, composite, compounding, wet-laid and filling applications.

High performance fibres are fibres that are primarily used for technical products. The fibres are driven by their exceptional mechanical and physical properties. Each technical fibre often has a niche where it has an advantage over other fibres.
