United Sewing Automation Opens American-Made Face Mask Manufacturing Facility In North Carolina

MOUNT AIRY, N.C. — August 4, 2020 — United Sewing Automation Inc. (USA) today announced the official opening of its new automated manufacturing facility in Mount Airy, N.C., to produce disposable PPE face masks made from U.S.-sourced materials. With the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, America’s reliance on imported PPE has caused great distress for frontline healthcare workers. In addition, the United States has been flooded with cheap inferior face masks imported from China that do not provide the protection needed to fight the spread of the Covid-19 virus. As a result, USA’s ownership team took the initiative to invest in automated equipment to manufacture American made medical grade masks to provide proper protection for Americans.

Made from high quality U.S.-sourced materials, USA’s facemasks feature a three-ply design with a built-in adjustable nose bridge and ear loop straps made of nylon and elastic cord to provide a better fit than traditional disposable masks. USA’s medical grade facemasks are tested for protection against bacterial and other airborne particulates, liquid barrier protection, breathability, and is rated as the best Class 1 for Flammability. USA’s FDA registered manufacturing facility is located in Mt. Airy.

“Due to the significant shortage of personal protective equipment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we decided to do our part to help fill this void by manufacturing medical grade facemasks at our facility in Mount Airy,” said Ben Webb, USA’s CEO. “We’ve installed new high-tech automated production equipment that now produces large amounts of face masks quickly and efficiently. We believe that Americans deserve the highest quality facemask protection and we are committed to providing them to America’s families. Our masks are not available for export until this pandemic is over. We will continue to work until the demand is met. Our goal is to provide a mask for every face in America every time one is needed. We are all in this together.”

USA’s ownership team has many years of experience in the textile and apparel industry and had the vision in 2017 to bring apparel manufacturing back to Mount Airy, N.C., through automation. USA recently installed high-tech Ultrasonic welding machines and automated production equipment capable of producing more than 1,000,000 face masks per week.

U.S.-Based Textile Companies Join Forces To Fill The Nation’s PPE Gap

FALL RIVER, Mass. — August 4, 2020 — Faced with a global pandemic and massive personal protective equipment (PPE) shortages in the United States, three large textile companies — each strong in its own niche — banded together quickly this spring to help fill the nation’s explosive demand for PPE.

The result was a fast response to PPE needs and an ongoing relationship that promises to help the country continue to meet growing demand for PPE across multiple sectors of the economy as we continue to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.

The collaboration included Merrow Manufacturing Inc., ColorWorks and Bolger & O’Hearn Inc.

Merrow Manufacturing is a large, high-tech cut and sew operation based in Fall River, Mass., typically used by fashion and textile brands to make hard and soft textile goods.

Bolger & O’Hearn, also based in Fall River, provided the high-powered durable water repellents designed to repel oil, water and blood when applied to PPE fabrics, as well as other textile chemistries needed to meet ASTM requirements for Levels 1, 2, and 3 for medical PPE. A bluesign system partner, B&O is also known for developing chemical products based on environmentally-compliant materials and technologies.

ColorWorks, which is located in Elizabethton, Tenn., took charge of the dyeing and finishing of millions of yards of fabric used to make the PPE. ColorWorks was purchased in January (2020) by Ocean State Innovations (OSI), which is based in Portsmouth, R.I.

“OSI has a long history working with both Bolger & O’Hearn and Merrow,” said Bryan Boulis, president of OSI. “ColorWorks relies heavily on the support of the R&D talent at Bolger. In March of this year I reached out to Charlie Merrow [CEO of Merrow Manufacturing]  in regard to his efforts to fill the PPE void both locally [for hospitals in New England} and throughout North America. Charlie presented his specifications and my team immediately reached out to Bolger & O’Hearn. ColorWorks has used 100 percent Bolger & O’Hearn products on all of the woven products we shipped to Merrow.”

In normal times, Merrow is a large domestic manufacturer of soft goods. Family owned, and in operation since the late 1800’s, Merrow invented the overlock stitch and its manufacturing floors in Fall River are typically humming with the sound of up to 500 sewing machines and a small army of high precision fabric cutters.

Earlier this year, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Merrow quickly pivoted and focused their textile cut and sew expertise on meeting New England’s sudden, urgent need for medical isolation gowns. In less than two months, Merrow quickly became one of the largest manufacturers of PPE in North America and through collaborations with Bolger & O’Hearn and ColorWorks, as well as Dupont, Merrow has, since March, manufactured millions of units of PPE. Their work has been so critical to the safety of New England residents, that Merrow was recognized by Rhode Island’s governor, Gina Raimondo, in an address to the state this spring.

Bolger & O’Hearn’s R&D group has a long history of working with brands and mills throughout the US textile industry, developing custom chemistries designed to give their customers a competitive edge. Since March at the beginning of the pandemic, much of this work has focused on developing high powered durable water, oil and soil repellents used to manufacture items of PPE that meet Levels 1,2 and 3 requirements for medical PPE.

“Bolger & O’Hearn is proud to be at the forefront of the effort to rebuild the US textile industry’s PPE supply chain, and support brands and mills throughout the US, by developing the chemistries that help them meet our country’s urgent demands for medical gowns, curtains, lab coats and other essential items of medical PPE,” said Kelly Murphy, co-president of B&O.

“With like-minded people working together, the possibilities of what we can achieve in the face of this pandemic are limitless. The push for personal protective equipment is not going away anytime in the near future.”

Consortium Develops First Textile Palm Fibers And Reinforcements

CAIRO — July 31, 2020 — A consortium of five Egyptian researchers have developed the world’s first high performance fibers and reinforcements extracted from the byproducts of pruning of date palms, such as frond and fruit stalks. PalmFil fiber is not only sustainable, but also economical in manufacturing, compatible with textile and composite processing and offers the properties needed for lightweight cars of the future.

“In the 1980’s the shift from natural fibers to man-made fibers was mainly to bridge the gap between the increasing demand for textile fibers and the limited supply of natural fibers,” said Dr. Mohamad Midani, partner, PalmFil Consortium. “In order to reverse this shift, there is a need to explore more sources of natural fibers and increase the biodiversity of fiber crops. This is actually what we did, there are more than 140 million date palms mostly concentrated in the Middle East and North Africa, generating yearly more than 4.8 million tons (dry wt.) byproducts of pruning regarded as agriculture waste. This represented a burden on palm growers, and was the main cause of fire accidents and infestation by dangerous insects. Those byproducts could otherwise be transformed into 1.3 million tons/year natural textile fibers, ranking third after cotton and jute.”

There has been several previous attempts to extract fibers from date palm byproducts through crushing and grinding, resulting in a biomass rather than textile fibers. PalmFil consortium succeeded in extracting the first long textile fiber from such byproducts and converted it into fiber tow, chopped fiber, spun yarn/ roving, nonwoven mat, woven fabric, and unidirectional tape. The new fiber represent a sustainable material base for a wide spectrum of industries. Ranging from natural reinforcements for composites in automotive and sporting goods, plaster reinforcements in construction, burlap sacks for packaging, ropes, and twines, non-wood papers, and other consumer products.

“Date palm byproducts have been used for centuries in the Middle East and it is a heritage related material,” said Dilip Tambyrajah, secretary general, International Natural Fiber Organization. “It is culturally embedded in Middle Easterns but possibly forgotten in modernity. Recent R&D conducted by PalmFil consortium demonstrates the potential of date palm fiber; its use in the modern context and in industrial settings. Revival of the fiber sector in the Middle East will need dedication and national commitment. The use of date palm fiber is not the issue. The use of most natural materials like the date palm fiber contribute towards maintaining biodiversity, provide employment and income and enable sustainable development in general. However, the key to its revival will be the national will and support to encourage the development of a reliable supply chain that can service the various production sectors that could use the fiber.”

“It has been a long five years marathon of self-supported research, relying completely on our personal funding and driven by a strong believe on the impact of such innovation on the sustainable development of rural communities and their livelihoods,” said Dr. Ahmed Hassanin, partner, PalmFil Consortium. “We wanted to rediscover this underutilized resource, and prove to the whole world that we could economically extract textile fibers from it, without abiding to the agenda of any funding institution.”

The new date palm fiber is obtained from renewable bioresources and it does not cause deforestation or compete with food production. It is 100-percent biodegradable and compostable and has specific tensile strength 5 times higher than structural steel, and equal to those of flax, hemp and sisal. Its vibration damping and acoustical insulation is higher than those of glass and carbon and with thermal insulation higher than carbon.  Moreover, it can be easily blended with other long fibers such as flax, sisal, and abaca, or it could be chopped and blended with hemp, kenaf, and jute.

“We did a comprehensive research to optimize the extraction process and we did a thorough characterization of the new fiber,” said Lobna Elseify, partner, PalmFil Consortium. “The research results were very well received by the scientific community and featured in research and review articles in some of the most prestigious scientific journals in the field, such as, Industrial Crops and Products (Elsevier) and Cellulose (Springer). The new fiber was also well accepted by the industrial community in Egypt, and it has been processed on a full industrial scale spinning line at the Egyptian Industrial Center of Flax. We are currently establishing connections with the leading automotive manufacturers in Europe, and we are conducting a dedicated research on date palm fiber composites in automotive.”

PalmFil technology contributes to the circular bioeconomy following a closed loop cycle from cradle to cradle. Moreover, the extraction technology could be applied to byproducts of other palm species such as oil palm, sugar palm, doum palm as well as other agriculture byproducts such as broomcorn.

PalmFil consortium have more than 50 years of combined experience in fiber science, textile technology and composite engineering. They are currently seeking partnership to further develop, scale-up, and commercialize PalmFil technology. It has recently launched a website to commercially announce its innovation, and it will present more about the new material in an upcoming live webinar that will be announced soon.

Inner Mettle Addresses Microbial Threats With Introduction Of IM ViroBac Fabric

LONDON — August 4, 2020 — Inner Mettle (IM), an innovator in the field of materials serving the sustainability and well-being of the environment and humanity, is launching its latest product — IM ViroBac fabric, proven to reduce microbial threats on touch within 30 minutes.
IM ViroBac fabric has been developed to reduce the risk of viral and bacterial transmission via surface contact applicable to a multitude of situations in a commercial environment, such as public transport, medical facilities and hospitality.
“High touch surfaces, such as seats, bedding, curtains, could all play a more protective role, rather than a source of contamination, by reducing the amount of risk on touch,” highlighted the Executive Director of Inner Mettle (IM), Inam Saleem.
Thanks to its versatility, the soft fabric can be used to produce consumer products, much in need during the current, and future crises, referring to gloves and masks, Saleem added.
Coronavirus efficacy 
In order to confirm the viral efficacy of Inner Mettle’s ViroBac technology, the company recently commissioned an independent EPA and FDA regulated  laboratory, to put its IM ViroBac  fabric through rigorous testing against a strain of the hu man coronavirus family.
“We wanted to provide our partners with continued confidence in the efficacy of our technology, and are proud to announce the results revealing its efficacy guarding against the Human Coronavirus (229E), with a reduction of 97.5 percent within 30 minutes,” Saleem said.
“Viruses are different from bacteria as they require living host cells in order to survive, whereas bacteria and mould can thrive independently. As a result of this difference, viruses are much more difficult to test against, especially for solid surface testing. Specialist equipment is needed, and the methods utilise living cells in order to test the viruses,” he added.
Inner Mettle stresses not to confuse the human Coronavirus (229E strain) with SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), which is not available for public testing as this point in the pandemic, as the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has categorised the virus at a biohazard level 3 and above.
Inner Mettle’s Vision 
Inner Mettle’s ambition doesn’t stop at the current crisis, but is rather developing products with a view to the future to address upcoming global challenges.
“It has been testing times for everyone around the globe, and we have been working around the clock to find ways to assist and contribute to the current challenge. Touch contamination remains a primary mode of transmission, having a comprehensive approach to contain pathogens, especially in an urban environment, is going to be a priority moving forward,” Saleem said, emphasising that public and private sector collaboration would help speed up innovation to combat, both, current and future, challenges.
According to a 2019 United Nations news release, a report released by the UN Ad hoc Interagency Coordinating Group on Antimicrobial Resistance, warned that if no action was taken, drug-resistant diseases could cause 10 million deaths each year by 2050, and damage to the economy as catastrophic  as the 2008-2009 global financial crisis. By 2030, antimicrobial resistance could force up to 24 million people into extreme poverty.
“Antimicrobial resistance is one of the greatest threats we face as a global community. This report reflects the depth and scope of the response needed to curb its rise and protect a century of progress in health,” said Amina Mohammed, UN Deputy Secretary-General and Co-Chair of the IACG.
“It rightly emphasises that there is no time to wait, and I urge all stakeholders to act on its recommendations, and work urgently to protect our people and planet, and secure a sustainable future for all,” she added.
The report highlighted that strengthening infection prevention, and control, in health c are facilities, farms, schools, as well as the community at large, using available tools , were central to minimizing disease transmission, as well as the emergence and transmission of antimicrobial resistance in humans, animals, plants, food and the environment.
It furthermore called upon all stakeholders, including government, civil society, and the private sector to collaborate to achieve, what it termed a ‘sustained One Health’ response to antimicrobial resistance.
Inner Mettle believes that its IM ViroBac  technology is well placed to contribute to the UN’s vision.
“We are working on other solutions, including an adhesive film that could assist with similar surface protection, as we see with the ViroBac fabric,” Saleem added.
