Jayalakshmi Enterprises debuts cotton for technical textiles products

South India-based Jayalakshmi Enterprises has developed mechanically processed cotton varieties suitable for use in absorbent technical textile products. Globally, the nonwovens sector is looking for new fibers that are sustainable. To fulfill this need and to develop absorbent and other specialized technical textiles products Jayalakshmi has released two different types of processed cotton that can be used in nonwoven manufacturing processes, such as needlepunching and hydroentangling.

Recently, Jayalakshmi diversified to develop cotton-based high-tech products, such as oil sorbents. The company has been in the cotton textiles business for more than five decades.

Velmurugan, Jayalakshmi’s general manager says they are in a phase of diversification. Developing cotton products that can fulfill the needs of the growing nonwovens and technical textiles sector is a natural growth process for everyone. Of the two types of cotton developed by the company, one variety has a soft, silky touch and represents the high-end new product. Till now the company has developed specialized cotton yarns and allied cotton products. Chennai-based Wellgro Tech trading will be marketing the cottons for nonwovens and technical textile industry customers.

According to Nambi Srinivasan, marketing in-charge at Wellgro, they will be looking towards domestic nonwovens wipe manufacturers and international players as its potential customers. Indian companies will have to develop their nonwovens sector right from fibers to fully finished products that can be available at retail outlets. Such endeavors by conventional textile groups such as Jayalakshmi are much needed to advance the technical textiles sector in India.
