SINGAPORE (ICIS news)--Taiwanese polyester fibre and yarn (POY) maker Chung Shing will restart its 72,000 tonne/year polyester staple fibre (PSF) 1.4 denier line on Monday after a month-long shutdown,  a company executive said.

“The line was closed for a shutdown at the end of June due to poor sales and margins. We will consider running the line at full only if orders justify it," the source said in Mandarin on Friday.

Chung Shing’s facility in northern Taiwan also has 2 polyester yarn lines with a combined annual capacity of 150,000 tonnes.

Polyester fibres are used as filling for comforters and winter jackets while polyester yarns are utilised to make clothes.
