    Brugnoli, The Lycra Company and Pissei have developed a high-performance cycling fabric containing 89% bio-based materials, combining Renewable Lycra fibre with bio-based polyamide. The composition targets cycling apparel, where the bio-based content share is the stated material metric.

    Manufacturing & Process Note: Bio-based polyamide and renewable Lycra blends require close monitoring of moisture regain and spin-finish compatibility on existing knitting lines; qualification lots should verify dye uptake and elongation consistency before scaling, as feedstock cost premiums and certification lead times remain the primary supply-chain constraints.

    Arclin Invests in Asturias Facility to Expand Nomex Floc Production Capacity

    Arclin announced a multimillion-dollar investment to expand floc production capacity at its Asturias, Spain facility, strengthening its global Nomex paper manufacturing network. The company is delivering record paper volume in 2026 and expects continued supply growth in 2027, with construction completed by the end of 2027 and full commissioning planned for early 2028. The expansion targets rising demand across aerospace, electrical infrastructure, defense, and transportation markets.

    Manufacturing & Process Note: Expanding Nomex floc capacity in Asturias will shorten lead times for aramid paper used in electrical insulation and aerospace honeycomb, but plant managers should monitor qualification timelines for new production lines to avoid supply gaps during the 2027–2028 transition.
