home textiles, dress material, knitted wear and non-woven applications. Grasim offers the entire range of cellulose fibre under the umbrella brand 'Birla Cellulose'.
Our fibres can be used in their original form, or can be blended with all natural and synthetic fibres for enhanced comfort, feel and lustre.
