CHT Group to present DURON fiber auxiliaries for nonwovens at index™26 in Geneva
The CHT Group will present its latest solutions for the nonwovens sector at index™26, taking place in Geneva from May 19 to 22, 2026. Visitors can meet the company at Booth 1259, where it will showcase its DURON fiber auxiliaries and a range of chemical solutions designed for nonwoven applications.
Nonwovens have become a key part of everyday life, though they often remain unnoticed by end users. They are used in a wide range of applications including baby diapers, crop covers, insulation materials, roofing systems, filtration products, medical gowns, and surgical drapes.
Meeting the performance requirements of these applications depends on efficient manufacturing technologies such as drylaid, spunlaid, meltblown, needlepunched, hydro-entangled, and thermobonded nonwovens. These processes require reliable chemical support to ensure consistent product quality and functionality.
The CHT Group supports nonwoven manufacturers through its DURON range of fiber auxiliaries. The portfolio includes process agents and chemical solutions that help optimize fiber treatment and nonwoven functionalization. These solutions are developed to meet the practical requirements of machinery manufacturers, brand owners, converters, and regulatory standards.
A key focus at index™26 will be solutions for absorbent hygiene products. The company offers permanently hydrophilic finishes for fibers and nonwovens that provide softness and support effective liquid management. These finishes help transfer liquid quickly from the topsheet into the acquisition distribution layer and then into the diaper core, helping maintain dry skin conditions.
The DURON range is also designed to deliver long-lasting hydrophilic performance, even after extended storage. This addresses growing market demand for stable product performance while also supporting the increasing use of bio-based raw materials in hygiene applications.
Sustainability remains a central part of the company’s strategy. The CHT Group continues to focus on energy efficiency, climate protection, responsible sourcing, resource management, and environmentally conscious production processes across its operations.
At the exhibition, visitors will have the opportunity to discuss specific application needs with CHT specialists and explore tailored solutions for textile material functionalization. The company’s team will be available throughout the event to present its latest developments for the evolving nonwovens market.
