Birla Cellulose, the Cellulosic Fibres division of Grasim Industries Ltd, is pleased to announce a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) with LNJ Bhilwara Group Companies (RSWM Limited & TACC Limited). This collaboration marks a significant step forward in developing graphene technology for textile applications.
Advancing Textile Innovation with Graphene
Graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, is renowned for its exceptional strength, conductivity, and lightweight properties. While widely used in electronics, energy storage, coatings, composites, and construction materials, its integration into textiles presents new possibilities for durability, performance, and sustainability.
Key Aspects of the Collaboration:
- TACC Limited will supply graphene derivatives to Birla Cellulose.
- Birla Cellulose will integrate TACC’s graphene derivatives into the production of viscose fibres.
- RSWM Limited will utilize these graphene-enhanced viscose fibres for textile manufacturing.
This partnership will drive cutting-edge textile innovation, enhancing durability, functionality, and sustainability in fabric production.
