Taekwang Industrial and Daehan Synthetic Fiber will unveil a large-scale collection of next-generation industrial textile solutions on the global stage.The two companies plan to participate in Techtextil 2026, the world’s largest industrial textile exhibition, held in Frankfurt, Germany, from April 21 to 24. During the event, they will showcase a significantly expanded product portfolio to accelerate their push into the global industrial textile market.Techtextil, held biennially, is a global trade fair covering industrial textiles and nonwovens. it serves as a business exchange hub where companies from around the world gather to share the latest technological trends and present innovative materials applicable across various industries, including construction, automotive, medicine, and protective clothing.While the 2024 exhibition focused on promoting technical expertise centered on two items—Aramid and LMF—the 2026 exhibition will expand the display to four core product groups for more strategic promotion and sales activities: Para-Aramid, LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer) fiber, PET automotive interior and filter materials, and high-strength industrial nylon (PA66, etc.).First, Taekwang Industrial’s representative high-performance material, Para-Aramid, is a "super fiber" with higher tensile strength than steel and excellent heat resistance. It maintains its physical properties even at high temperatures and possesses superior wear resistance, making it widely used in fields requiring high reliability in extreme environments, such as fiber optic cables, industrial rubber reinforcements, and bulletproof/protective products. Taekwang Industrial aims to secure a total production capacity of 5,500 tons by 2026 through a 4,000-ton facility expansion, actively responding to global customer demand based on stable quality and price competitiveness.The LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer) fiber introduced by Daehan Synthetic Fiber is a next-generation material targeting the high-value-added market. Slated for full-scale commercialization in 2026, LCP fiber is spun in a liquid crystal state, boasting high strength and dimensional stability. It is also characterized by minimal moisture absorption, making it highly resistant to humidity changes. Due to these properties of high strength, wear resistance, and dimensional stability, it is gaining significant attention in specialized industrial fields such as marine ropes, cables, round slings, industrial composites, and electrical/electronic components.PET automotive interior and filter materials, which combine eco-friendliness with high functionality, will also be featured. ACEFINE, a sea-island fiber that replicates the texture of natural suede, is easy to clean and will target the automotive interior and car seat markets. Alongside this, Daehan Synthetic Fiber’s specialized product ACEBON is an eco-friendly material that enables bonding between fibers through heat treatment without the use of harmful adhesives. It is currently in high demand in the water treatment and air purifier filter markets.Additionally, Taekwang Industrial will launch full-scale marketing for its industrial nylon (PA66) material, known for its durability and versatility. PA66, which offers drastically improved durability and wear resistance compared to conventional nylon (PA6), is suitable for products exposed to harsh environments, such as bags, military gear, and extreme sports equipment. By utilizing its domestic production base, Taekwang Industrial plans to expand its market share by enhancing customer convenience, including support for certificates of origin.a

Improved quality stability through advanced composite spinning of heterogeneous polymers Bio-based material adopted for eco-friendly synthetic leather in domestic car interiorsDaehan Synthetic Fibers, a textile and petrochemical affiliate of the Taekwang Group, announced on the 29th that it has successfully commercialized a bio-based polyester yarn for automotive interiors by applying its advanced composite spinning technology to bio-derived raw materials.The newly commercialized yarn is a high-performance, eco-friendly polyester made from plant-based bio materials. By adopting a composite spinning process, the company has achieved enhanced quality stability. The yarn can be used as a sustainable synthetic leather material, offering a texture similar to natural suede while providing excellent anti-soiling properties.Composite spinning is a sophisticated technique that produces yarn by simultaneously extruding different types of polymers. In contrast to conventional spinning—commonly used for microfiber production but prone to reduced productivity and quality—composite spinning protects ultra-fine filaments during production, improving overall yarn quality and stability. Daehan Synthetic Fibers already applies this spinning method to products such as headosa, PN split yarn, latent crimp yarn, and LMF yarn.The new bio-based yarn is expected to be applied to upcoming vehicle models from a leading domestic automaker. In addition to this, Daehan Synthetic Fibers has also been supplying recycled PET-based materials for automotive interiors. As the automotive industry places greater emphasis on eco-friendly materials, Daehan’s bio-based yarn is emerging as a key partnership element for automakers. The company plans to participate as a R&D partner in expanding the use of sustainable materials across global production sites of Korean car brands.A Daehan Synthetic Fibers spokesperson stated, “This development demonstrates not only the use of bio-based raw materials and recycled resources but also the real-world industrial application of sustainable solutions,” adding that the company will continue expanding applications beyond textiles and interiors to automotive interiors, water filtration, and other industrial sectors. Founded in 1963 as Daehan Synthetic Fiber Co., Ltd., the company has developed polyester yarns and composite materials for over 60 years. In line with Taekwang Group’s sustainability-driven business expansion and bio-based fiber production strategy, Daehan Synthetic Fibers aims to lead the eco-friendly materials market in automotive interiors.

Daehan Synthetic Fibers, a polyester specialty subsidiary of the Taekwang Group, is set to expand its presence in the summer apparel market with its high-performance functional yarn, “NOVICH.”NOVICH is a multi-functional yarn that combines UV protection, anti-see-through, and cool-touch features, offering a comfortable wearing experience even in hot and humid conditions.Equipped with UV-blocking properties, NOVICH helps minimize skin damage during prolonged outdoor activities. Its unique spinning structure enables rapid heat dispersion from the skin, providing a refreshing cooling sensation.The anti-see-through function prevents silhouettes from showing through under intense sunlight—an advantage especially noticeable in white clothing—making NOVICH suitable for a wide range of summer fashion applications. From golfwear and outdoor apparel to sportswear, it is gaining attention as a premium yarn that delivers both functionality and style.At the same time, Daehan Synthetic Fibers is renewing the product’s hangtag design to enhance consumer communication and effectively convey NOVICH’s key benefits and brand message.

Taekwang Industrial, a textile and petrochemical affiliate of the Taekwang Group, announced on the 23rd that it has launched ACECOOL-BIO, an eco-friendly nylon yarn made from plant-based materials, marking the first of its kind in Korea.This product improves upon the shortcomings of conventional synthetic fibers by enhancing moisture absorption and breathability. It is expected to be highly applicable in sportswear, functional innerwear, and summer workwear, helping maintain comfort even in hot and humid summer conditions.Notably, the manufacturing process of ACECOOL-BIO emits less than half the carbon compared to traditional cooling fibers. It also offers superior dyeability and vibrant coloration compared to conventional nylon. The company explained that it has also reduced energy consumption by shortening the dyeing process.Starting with this product, Taekwang Industrial plans to release additional new fiber brands in the second half of the year.A company representative stated, “With the launch of this product, we aim to meet the growing demand for eco-friendly textiles and contribute to the expansion of ESG management in the fashion industry. We will continue to lead the high-performance yarn market and strengthen our position as a premium eco-friendly brand.”
