The United Nations accept declared 2009 to be the International Year of Natural Fibres. Therefore, Techtextil will aswell be spotlighting articles such as cotton, beat and artificial and cartoon absorption to their abeyant for use in abstruse applications. From 16 to 18 June, exhibitors at the International Trade Fair for Technical Textiles and Non-wovens will present the after-effects of their analysis activities, and new articles including, for example, a technology for the assembly of anatomic fibres, a blended based on beat and a yarn fabricated of amoebic cotton. Moreover, the International Natural Fibres Congress will be captivated alongside to the fair.
International Natural Fibre Congress to be captivated alongside to Techtextil 2009
Millions of humans in the atomic countries of the apple acquire a active by cultivating and processing accustomed fibres. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the aim of the International Year of Natural Fibres is to access and advance the capability and sustainability of this annex of agriculture.
Messe Frankfurt has taken up this abstraction and will authority the International Natural Fibre Congress alongside to Techtextil on 17 and 18 June. The Congress will focus on the accountable of accustomed fibres in affiliation with ‘Innovative Functions’ and their use in the ‘Mobility’ and ‘Construction’ fields.
This accident enjoys the abutment of important associations including the International Textile Manufacturers Federation (ITMF) from Switzerland whose Director General, Dr. Christian Schindler, says, “I would like to acknowledge Messe Frankfurt for accepting taken the action to organ-ise the ‘Natural Fibre Congress’ during the official ‘International Year of Natural Fibres’.
To authority such a assembly in affiliation with the acclaimed Techtextil fair will absolutely advice to access the acquaintance of the ample ambit of applications of accustomed fibres alfresco their acceptable applications in the accoutrement and home bolt segments. Since sustainability and anatomy will abide to play an added important role in the future, it is important to advertise the abeyant of accustomed fibres in the articulation of abstruse bolt as well.” The Managing Director of the Bremen Cotton Exchange, Jan Wellmann, says, “The Natural Fibre Congress during Techtextil will action acceptable advice from the latest analysis projects on the use of accustomed fibres.”
Research Award for Technology for the Production of Functional Textile Fibres
Reliable aegis adjoin mosquitoes and ticks can be chip into cellulose-based bolt fibres. A addition to this will be fabricated by Germany’s Thüringisches Institut für Textil- und Kunststoff-Forschung (TITK), which will present, inter alia, the latest after-effects of its analysis and development activities in the acreage of functional-fibre materials.
The capital affair covered will be the technology for the abiding affiliation of aqueous or aqueous anatomic additives in cellulose-based fibre matrixes, which accustomed the 2008 Research Award of the Free State of Thuringia TITK succeeded in developing a technology for the assembly of bolt anatomic fibres with chip aegis adjoin vectors, which charcoal able throughout the absolute life-cycle of the material. This eliminates the time-consuming and all-embracing aftereffect treatments all-important to repel insects that blot claret and address diseases, such as mosquitoes and ticks. As Dr. Frank Meister, Head of the Chemical Research Department, says: “The breath substances appropriate are chip in the fibre-spinning process. At the amount of this new action is the use of nano-technological attempt for bounden the breath actuality into the cellulose-fibre matrix.”
The starting point of this analysis plan is the abstraction to use aspectless nano particles to allowance aqueous or aqueous substances central a artificial fibre so they cannot be done out of the fibre. “Now that we accept succeeded embedding phase-change substances with a absorption of up to 40 percent in a artificial fibre, we ambition to admit boring vaporisable substances into the centre of the fibre in the aforementioned way”, says Meister.
In this connection, the absorption of the breath substances have to be called to ensure that an able aggregate can be appear over the absolute activity aeon of the textiles. “Given a acknowledged cessation to this project, we can able-bodied brainstorm a array of added anatomic fibres able to absolution appropriate fragrances or breath substances from central the fibres to the wearer of the bolt products. This would accomplish it accessible to de-velop the aboriginal ‘cosmetotextiles’ that absolutely abide up to their name”, adds Meister elaborating the Institute’s affairs for the future.
Procotex launches a new blended based on accustomed fibres
“At this year’s Techtextil, we will present a new blended based on flax”, says Bruno Douchy, Procotex Sales Director. The Belgian com-pany has its arch appointment in the affection of a European flax-growing re-gion. More than 120,000 tonnes of continued beat fibres are produced every year in Northern France, The Netherlands and Belgium and exported throughout the apple to be spun or alloyed for use in the appearance and upholstery industries.
Flax is a accustomed fibre acclaimed by animation and flexural strength. It can be candy calmly and inexpensively, abatement and beef treatments are unnecessary. Even that allotment of the beat produced during brushing, the tow, is acclimated for authoritative ropes and as artificial in the cardboard industry. In particular, this decay artefact is accepting rapidly in acceptation as accretion for composites absolute plastics, e.g., in the appliance and auto industries. An important point in this affiliation is that beat is cheaper than bottle fibre. Other advantages of biological composites are that they can be recycled and incinerated with no residue.
In Frankfurt, Procotex will appearance means of bounden beat with plastics to actualize abstracts with altered degrees of hardness. New in this affiliation is preblending accustomed fibres with polypropylene or BioPECs, a polyester fibre, which makes moulding accessible at the compara-tively low temperature of 240°C. Depending on the blend, the accomplished artefact will be added or beneath hard, e.g., a aggregate of 50 percent beat and 50 percent polypropylene produces a almost harder artefact that can be used, inter alia, in car doors. A acquainted is created during the accomplishment action and heating melts the polypropylene. The final appearance is accomplished by consecutive algid pressing. The aftereffect is a light-weight actual with specific force as low as 1.2.
Procotex credibility out that the actual is not inflammable, does not cavity and has no aciculate edges. According to the manufacturer, it is aswell aggressive to acids and acrid substances.
"Procotex is not alone breath in the acreage of developing new abstracts on the base of accustomed fibres, but we recycle these fibres as they can be acclimated added than once. As accustomed fibres are healthy, comfortable, renewable and acquire top tech as able-bodied as accustomed characteristics, we are committed to advance and advance them added and that not alone in 2009, the International Year of Natural Fibres", says Douchy.
New yarn fabricated of amoebic affection to be launched shortly
The Amann Group is one of the world’s arch producers of yarns for bed-making and embroidery. Based in the Southwest German boondocks of Bönnigheim, the company’s top priorities cover the optimisation of its ecological antithesis sheet. Besides optimised assembly processes, such as the abridgement of fresh-water burning for dyeing, the company’s articles aswell action a adventitious to accomplishment absolute allowance for manoeuvre, e.g., yarns fabricated beneath the ‘Amann Lifecycle Threads’ label. On the one hand, they abide of two texturised bed-making threads, a multifilament aberration and an adornment yarn fabricated of 100 % recycled polyester. On the added hand, of a artefact fabricated of amoebic cotton. All articles are due to be launched in the actual abreast future.
“Our organic-cotton artefact – Lifecycle Cotton – will be accessible in calculation numbers 25, 50 and 75”, says Johannes Ibach, Head of the Marketing Department. “Thus, we will be able to awning the capital bond categories.” According to the manufacturer, the sewability and abstruse ethics are commensurable to those of ‘normal’ cotton. However, the Amann Group acknowledges that the prices of Lifecycle Cotton will be hardly college than accepted affection products.
“We are currently in a analysis appearance to ascertain the exact requirements of our barter because their needs still bend significantly”, explains Ibach. In this way, the Amann Group affairs to acknowledge to the needs of the market. To what admeasurement the International Year of Natural Fibres will accept an access on the bed-making yarns articulation charcoal to be seen.
“At present, accustomed fibres, abnormally cotton, are of accessory acceptation compared to constructed raw abstracts due to their inferior abstruse values”, adds Ibach and credibility out that the Amann Group is accustomed out all-encompassing tests on added by itself renewable raw abstracts and bio-polymers in affiliation to the company’s top qualitative expectations.
