Cotton for absorbent textiles

Jayalakshmi Enterprises, based in South India, has developed two mechanically processed cotton varieties for use in absorbent technical textiles products. One has a soft silken touch and the other variety is high end.

The products will be marketed for the nonwovens and technical textile sectors by Chennai-based Wellgro Tech trading group. They will be looking towards domestic nonwovens wipe manufacturers and international players as potential customers.
