All aboard with Trevira CS®: Exhibiting IMO-tested flame-retardant textiles at CSI Show Hamburg

Trevira CS, a leading brand of inherently flame-retardant textiles, is set to showcase its high-performance fabric solutions for the cruise ship industry at the CSI (Cruise Ship Interiors) Show in Hamburg on December 3rd and 4th. Attendees are invited to visit the Trevira CS booth and "get a boarding pass to all Trevira CS IMO tested fabrics."


The booth's motto, "All aboard with Trevira CS," highlights the brand's commitment to safety and luxury in marine interiors. The exhibit will feature an array of some 27 IMO-tested Trevira CS fabrics specifically designed for cruise ship applications.

Safety and luxury meet rigorous marine standards

As cruises worldwide continue to grow in popularity, the demand for luxurious and inviting textile designs which comply with uncompromising safety performance is increasing. Trevira CS textiles meet all these demands. Inherently flame retardant and easy to care for, Trevira CS fabrics comply with the strict FTP Code 2010 Resolution MSC.307(88), Annex 1, part 5, 7, 8, and 9 for various applications, such as:

  • Wallcoverings
  • Drapes and decorative fabrics
  • Sunscreens
  • Upholstery fabrics
  • Bedding textiles

“Our trademark testing makes sure that the Trevira CS articles are made of our original Trevira® flame retardant polyester and that the textiles thereof meet the fire safety requirements of the brand and are fit to pass those of the cruise industry too. Needless to say, that also the requirements of other industries like hospitality, healthcare, rail and aviation are respected and can be met by Trevira CS® as well,” says Petra Krücken, Indorama Ventures Fibers Global Trademark Service Manager.

High performance for indoor and outdoor use

The cruise shipping industry requires high-quality fabrics for both indoor and demanding outdoor environments. For exterior use, Trevira CS textiles offer superior performance in terms of resistance to light and weather.

This is, for example, achieved through flame-retardant and UV stabilised polyester, available as staple fiber and filament yarn. Such modified filament yarns are also available in nearly 30 different spun dyed colours, enabling for a wide range of attractive designs to be brought to life.

A focus on sustainability and circularity

Recognizing the cruise industry's increasing focus on sustainability, Trevira CS also offers recycled options under the trademark Trevira CS eco.

  • These fabrics contain at least 50% recycled materials (pre-consumer or post-consumer).
  • All fibers and yarns used for the Trevira CS eco trademark are GRS (Global Recycled Standard) certified.


Furthermore, Indorama Ventures is embracing the circular economy by utilizing chemically (advanced) recycled raw materials. Such developments and offerings are embraced by it high-end brand Trevira CS. In this process, waste and existing materials on the market are processed to produce new staple fibres and filament yarns.

Visit Trevira CS at CSI Show Hamburg

Trevira CS invites all cruise line owners, designers, architects, and outfitters to visit the booth at the CSI Show Hamburg to explore the full range of textiles that create pleasant, exclusive, comfortable, and safe atmospheres on board.

Elastic yarns to become more recyclable and environmentally friendly in future

On 29 April 2026, ITA student Tobias Dickmeiß was awarded a sponsorship prize by the Wilhelm Lorch-Stiftung for his innovative approach, to replacing conventional elastane with elastic yarns made from thermoplastic copolyester elastomers (TPC). Thanks to their thermoplastic nature and compatibility with typical polyesters used in the textile industry, elastic TPC yarns offer improved recyclability. Furthermore, the use of the melt-spinning process in yarn production eliminates the need for solvents that are harmful to the environment and human health.
