The Microfibre Consortium (TMC) facilitates the development of practical solutions for the textile industry to minimize fiber fragmentation and release to the environment from textile manufacturing and product life cycle.

Sustainable Solutions Performance

Whether you are thinking about starting, or continuing, in-house plastisol production, be sure to weigh the following factors when determining the best solution for your business.

The Solution Reducing weight while maintaining structural integrity is at the top of the engineering challenge list for any product, but it’s an especially difficult hurdle for vehicles.
