Having such specialized equipment enables Palmetto Synthetics the opportunity to custom design the right fiber type, right color, and most any other special property. Other properties may include, but are not limited to, flame retardants and anti-microbials. |

| This can be achieved through both internal and/or topical treatments and finishes. Palmetto Synthetics invites their clients to visit their plant and bring samples of the products they are needing to make. |

| The fiber produced by Palmetto Synthetics has many uses — from apparel to automotive to industrial applications. Some of the end products include scouring pads for the abrasive market. Other markets include geotextiles fabrics for erosion control, roofing products and filtration media. The fibers are also used in trunk liners and the interiors of cars, and in many other polyester and nylon fabrics such as hosiery as well as more mainstream apparel, with much development going toward more sensitive products. Palmetto Synthetic fibers are currently being processed 100% and in blends on ring, open-end, Murata® AirJet and wrapspun spinning systems. They are also processing fibers in carded nonwoven applications, mainly going into needled fabrics at this time. |
