An Aditya Birla Group Company Thai Acrylic Fibre Co (TAF) has collaborated with garment manufacturer World Knitting Textiles to develop a new fabric range for innerwear and base layers with the combination of wool and Pilbloc, the everlasting anti-pilling acrylic fibre.

As per Sombat Chatromyen, Managing Director, World Knitting Textiles, the new anti-piling fabric has a unique inherent function. It has a soft touch that makes it very comfortable for consumers. Ashwini Chotani, Chief Marketing Officer, TAF adds, the Pilbloc and its anti-pilling function is generated with a specially engineered process that ensures its longevity and durability. The company initially used the function to produce the fabric in coarser deniers, but now, it also offers micro denier which makes Pilbloc perform even better and can be used for circular knit and very light-weight fabrics that are suitable for innerwear and base layers.

Established in 1986 under the name World Knitting Industries, World Knitting Textiles is a garment manufacturer and exporter with the major markets in the US, EU, and Japan. Later in 1990, it set up the knitting department and expanding into dyeing and finishing by 2004.
