About Us
Engineered Fibers Technology, LLC (EFT) was founded in 1998 with a mission to provide unique engineered fibers and engineering services to meet specialized technical requirements in short fiber composites, engineered materials, papers, pulp-molded products and nonwovens.
The founders of EFT all have over 30 years of industrial experience, with a great depth of engineering knowledge combined with practical, hands-on experience in fiber development, manufacturing and commercialization. Regardless of whether our efforts are in the areas of fibers engineering or fibers service, EFT brings unique competence in engineered materials combined with fibers processing, applications engineering and commercial development that provides new solutions to materials problems and market requirements.
EFT offers a broad range of fiber types and technical services and is a full service source for an extensive range of short-fibers and synthetic pulps / fibrillated fibers, and for applications development of these products. In addition, we maintain strategic alliances with several fiber producers worldwide including Kuraray, Sterling Fibers and Lenzing Tencel, among others, to be able to provide the newest fiber products.
The current Engineered Fibers Technology facility, our second home in Shelton, CT can provide a wide range of both textile type and higher performance engineering type fibers, in precision short-cut lengths from 0.25 mm to 75 mm and in staple lengths of up to several inches. Currently available fibers now include a wide range of acrylic, modacrylic, lyocell, polyester, PVA, polypropylene/ polyethylene, nylon, splittable bicomponent fibers, thermal binder bicomponent fibers and other specialty textile type fibers. Various engineering/technical fibers including pitch and PAN based graphite fibers, Ni and Cu clad graphite, PEEK, PPS, melamine, high modulus acrylic and PVA, high tenacity polyester, Vectran, PTFE, and quartz are also available. Fiber orders from a few hundred grams to production quantities can be delivered. Contract cutting services and special packaging options to meet specific customer requirements have been expanded.
