Recron FS polyester to get a sustainable edge & enhanced fire retardant properties with Nofia technology

"Recron FS is manufactured at state-of-the-art facilities, having one of the most environment-friendly conditions and is a part of the responsible care products that RIL offers," said Hemant D. Sharma, sector head at polyester business, RIL, adding that the company is proud in bolstering Recron FS on safety and technical parameters with FRX's Nofia technology.

"We are committed to deliver exceptional fire safety without compromising health, environment, and aesthetics," he said.

Sharing similar sentiments, the CEO of FRX Innovations Marc Lebel said the company is proud to be selected by the world's largest polyester fiber and filament yarn producer. He said consumer interest in sustainability has been increasing for years now.

"It is rewarding to see Nofia being deployed in such high-visibility consumer products. With ever-increasing pressure to deliver sustainable products to the market, we believe that FRX Innovations is well positioned to grow with sustainably minded customers around the world such as Reliance," he said.

Last month, it was reported that RIL would acquire the polyester business of Shubhalakshmi Polyesters Ltd. and Shubhlaxmi Polytex Ltd. The acquisition would be done through RIL's wholly-owned subsidiary Reliance Petroleum Retail Ltd., which now operates as Reliance Polyester Ltd.

Network18, the parent company of CNBCTV18.com, is controlled by Independent Media Trust, of which Reliance Industries is the sole beneficiary.
