Seevix Material Sciences Synthetic SVX Spidersilk to Be Used In Filters To Neutralize COVID-19

JERUSALEM — May 11, 2020 — Seevix Material Sciences Ltd., which develops and manufactures synthetic SVX™ spidersilk, announced today that it plans to use its patented spidersilk technology to create disposable and safe filters with high entrapment and inactivation efficacy to neutralize COVID-19 and other coronaviruses. The filters will be based upon a specific peptide sequence that binds SARS-CoV-2 particles and which can be incorporated into SVX fibers, yielding thousands of virus-specific binding sites to immobilize viral particles and prevent their spread. The binding peptide can be quickly adapted to other viruses and mutating viral strains.

SVX fibers with the specific peptide sequence can be incorporated in textiles used in filters, used to coat the external surface of textiles, or form part of a protective insert to entrap and neutralize viruses and microbes.

SVX possesses a unique combination of strength, flexibility and low unit weight. Its nano-porous sponge-like structure enables the loading of disinfectants and crosslinking agents.

SVX is environmentally friendly and cost effective. Seevix manufactures SVX by means of a fermenter-based, sustainable, single-step biomimicry process, inducing the self-assembly of protein building blocks into nano-fibrils. SVX biodegrades in a controlled manner without generating toxic waste.

SVX’s strength, elasticity and chemical resilience make it extremely versatile with numerous applications for different industries. SVX can be used to coat or reinforce materials in industrial processes such as wet spinning, electrospinning, extrusion, and injection molding, and it also can be integrated into surface coatings, textiles, and solid materials. Rigorous testing has shown that when added to composite materials, SVX shows a dose response even at low percentages, significantly improving the mechanical properties of different materials such as polyurethane, latex and other thermoplastic polymers, without harming their elasticity.

“SVX can be woven into a protective physical filter that neutralizes coronaviruses,” said Seevix’s CEO Dr. Shlomzion Shen. “Seevix is currently developing several market-ready anti-COVID-19 applications and will soon be entering into discussions with potential strategic partners.”

STOCKHOLM — May 11, 2020 — Members of Sweden’s ACG Group have rapidly responded to their country’s urgent need for protective personal equipment (PPE), by setting up and staffing a dedicated new nonwovens fabric converting and single-use garment making-up plant in just three weeks.

The new plant was established to convert and coat the fabric and turn it into fully finished protective overalls for hospital staff each month. It now employs 80 staff in a two-shift operation and has been such a success that a second immediate order has been secured from the Swedish authorities. This will push production up to a monthly 1.8 million square meters of converted fabric turned into 692,000 finished medical garments.

Spread of COVID-19

By the middle of March, as COVID-19 began to spread outside China, the immediate future was looking decidedly bleak for ACG Group, which has seven subsidiaries in total. Many activities were immediately cancelled with the imposition of an international travel ban and orders were also beginning to fall away on the domestic market.

“We were shocked by how fast things were moving and realized it would hit us hard if we didn’t react,” said Christian Moore, CEO of ACG Kinna, which spearheaded the new PPE initiative with sister company ACG Nyström — both members of TMAS, the Swedish textile machinery association.

Options

At an emergency group meeting to explore all options, the pressing demand for PPE by hospitals and frontline workers fighting Covid-19 became immediately apparent and an action plan was put in place within hours. Consultations with local hospitals and the state authorities to assess their needs followed in the next few days, and the manufacturing space for the new operation was quickly allocated at the group’s head office in Borås, along with a shopping list for the necessary equipment that couldn’t be sourced from within the group itself.

“Our group has been around since 1921 and has built up a wealth of know-how, with automation expertise being critical to getting the line up and running so quickly,” Moore said. “We also have very extensive contacts which enabled us to get hold of the additional machines and materials we needed, which isn’t easy at present.”

Jessica Eckerström usually works at ACG Group’s Eskil printing plant, which has reduced order intake. She is now working on the production of protective garments. “It great to be able to help, and fun too,” she reports. Image courtesy of BoråsTidning.

The company has managed to obtain some 29 welding machines, with this bonding method being a prerequisite for achieving the necessary tight seams for the garments. It has also secured coating equipment and a guaranteed supply of the antibacterial finishing treatment the fabrics require.

At present, all of the garments produced are being supplied to Sweden’s municipal and regional health authorities, although there has been a huge demand from elsewhere. The group foresees its current production continuing for at least the next six months and may now opt to significantly increase it further to cater for the demand internationally.

Long-term approach

For the ACG Group, this multi-million euro initiative is being viewed as a long-term investment, with the current crisis revealing that the need for such production — and the automation skills necessary to enable it — is greater in countries like Sweden than was previously perhaps appreciated.

“This is a fantastic example of Sweden’s entrepreneurial spirit and innovation and also demonstrates the many problems that can be solved through automation,” said TMAS Secretary General Therese Premler-Andersson. “Obtaining all of the materials and machines needed for the initiative and getting the new plant up and running so quickly is an extraordinary achievement and many people within the ACG Group worked day and night to make it happen.

“I am happy and proud there is such a ‘can do’ spirit within TMAS, and as a citizen I am also grateful that this service is being provided. It underlines the importance of expertise in textiles and automation in ensuring local production and hopefully, in the long term, something good can come out of this situation for our industry across Europe.”

Non-Nuclear Measurement For Spunlaced Nonwovens:  Mahlo Infrared Technology For The Most Accurate Results

SAAL, Germany— May 11, 2020 — Mouth and nose protection, disposable protective gowns and gloves are currently among the most important articles in the corona crisis. Above all, medical personnel and first-responders such as the fire brigade and police are dependent on them — and must be able to rely 100-percent on their functionality. With its systems for process control and quality measurement, Mahlo GmbH + Co. KG has been supporting manufacturers in the reliable production of high-quality nonwoven articles for decades.

In a nonwovens line, the moisture content after spunlacing and the basis weight and residual moisture profile after drying are important parameters for ensuring quality and optimizing the production process. The production process has to run in such a way that the product is guaranteed to have the desired functions, but still be as cost-effective as possible for the manufacturer. The key to success is automated measurement and control of these essential parameters.

For example, if the weight does not correspond to the specifications, this can lead to errors in functionality, but also to unnecessarily high raw material consumption. A fleece that is too light for medical masks may no longer be able to meet all safety standards and thus become a health hazard. Nonwoven webs that are used as supports for operating tables are also typical spunlaced nonwovens. If this type of product is too heavy, it does not affect function and safety. However, more resources are wasted than actually needed. The result: rising costs and a higher burden on the environment. The same applies to the residual moisture in the product. If the product is too moist, there is a risk of mold growth, and if the fleece is too dry, the energy consumption in the line is too high.

The advantages of quality control are obvious: If critical parameters are systematically controlled and regulated, this is reflected in higher fabric quality. This means less rejects and less consumption of raw materials. This not only saves manufacturers time, but also money.

Basis weight and moisture analysis with non-nuclear measurement

A conventional method for determining both values is to measure the moisture with a simple infrared or microwave sensor in combination with a beta or X-ray sensor for the basis weight. Because of the radiation and the safety requirements associated with it, the user would like to avoid nuclear measurement if possible. This is easily possible with Mahlo’s sensor technology. For spunlace products, mainly fibers such as cotton, polyethylene, polyester or rayon are used. These have the pleasant characteristic that they absorb light in the near infrared range. Water and the other materials have different spectral ranges and can thus be distinguished. By measuring the attenuated radiation, the moisture content and the weight per unit area of different materials can be determined. Therefore, only one Mahlo infrared sensor, calibrated for the respective fiber types, is required to determine and evaluate the values. The measuring process is contactless, non-destructive and without unwanted influence on the product properties.

This method is particularly useful when a manageable quantity of different goods is produced. The calibration is adapted to the products and stored in the article memory.

Mahlo has already successfully implemented many such applications and offers the user a perfect tool with high measuring accuracy and easy handling. Our technical service ensures that the desired measures are implemented 100 percent. Not only can products with “zero defects” be manufactured continuously, but quality, efficiency and profit can also be increased in the long term.

ExxonMobil Collaborates With The Nonwovens Institute (NWI) To Help Accelerate Facemask Production For Frontline Medical Workers During The COVID-19 Crisis

HOUSTON — May 8, 2020 — ExxonMobil has responded rapidly and effectively to an initiative by the Nonwovens Institute (NWI), a long-standing partner since 2008, which was looking for polymers to fabricate specialty nonwoven fabrics used for personal protective equipment (PPE). NWI is supplying the spunbond and meltblown nonwoven fabrics to manufacturers of medical masks, helping essential frontline medical workers get the PPE they need to stay protected against COVID-19.

“When NWI reached out for support we had no hesitation in helping them,” said John W. M. Roberts, strategic marketing executive polypropylene, ExxonMobil. “Having identified the location of the polymers, we mobilized our logistics network to make sure the product was delivered quickly and efficiently.”

From various inventories, ExxonMobil donated a combined total of 146,000 pounds of ExxonMobil™ PP3155, Achieve™ Advanced PP6926G2 and Vistamaxx™ 8880 performance polymers to LINC, a non-profit affiliate of NWI located in Raleigh, N.C. Supply chain logistics required coordination with ExxonMobil’s branded distributor Channel Prime Alliance which handled delivery of the product. ExxonMobil also made several value chain introductions, connecting NWI with companies looking for high-quality nonwovens for PPE.

The nonwoven fabrics were produced at the NWI facilities on the North Carolina State University Centennial Campus. Production requires incredibly specialized machinery and skilled operators which, combined with high-quality ExxonMobil PP, Achieve and Vistamaxx polymers, optimizes speed of production and nonwovens performance. Spunbond nonwovens are used for the outer layers of a variety of medical masks as they are breathable and have the strength to protect the inner layer by maintaining the integrity of the mask. Meltblown nonwovens are used in the inner layer because they provide an effective barrier to liquids and particulates, while being breathable. Currently celebrating its 60th year in the polypropylene business, ExxonMobil has over 50 years’ experience with both types of nonwovens and invented the meltblowing process in the late 1960s.

Nonwoven fabrics were sent to mask manufacturing companies in North Carolina and across the United States. NWI also purchased assembly machines so that nonwovens could be converted into masks using local campus staff and volunteers, speeding up delivery to local medical facilities.

“This entire effort clearly illustrates the value of long-term collaborations between industry and academic institutions,” said Bhaskar Venkatraman, ExxonMobil vice president, Polypropylene, Vistamaxx and Adhesion. “In this instance, when there was a critical need to produce PPE so frontline workers can do their jobs more safely, these relationships enabled us to respond quickly and effectively to help society.”

Having joined the NWI in 2008, ExxonMobil has provided ongoing support to the Institute’s development including: product development programs; the acquisition of state-of-the-art equipment; mentoring of students in related North Carolina State University graduate programs; guidance on Institute programs; and, training of ExxonMobil employees to better serve the market.

Sustainability Tech Spin-Out Higg Co. Hires Former Nike Executive Del Hudson As Growth Continues

SAN FRANCISCO — May 8, 2020 — Higg Co., the San Francisco-based technology company founded in 2019 to unify and scale sustainability measurement, announced today it has appointed former Nike executive Del Hudson as the company’s new vice president of marketing and communications.

Higg develops and hosts sustainability measurement tools, allowing companies to integrate measurable data directly into internal systems, improving end-to-end decision-making. Its goal is to unify sustainability measurement practices within consumer goods industries.

The technology company was spun out of the Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC) last year, with additional Series A funding from impact investment firms Titan Grove Holdings, Buckhill Capital and Sanjeev Bahl of Saiburg B.V. Supporting the apparel, footwear and textile industries to scale digitalization of sustainability data across global supply chains is Higg’s current priority.

Hudson — who has spent 20 years in communications and sustainability leadership roles in the United States, United Kingdom and New Zealand — will oversee brand marketing, communications and stakeholder relations for the company. Since launching a year ago, Higg has expanded product offerings to include brand assessments, upgraded the Higg Index user experience, enabled completion of more than 10,000 factory assessments in more than 80 countries and now employs more than 50 people.

At Nike, Hudson held various leadership roles in global communications then Sustainable Business Innovation, where she was responsible for external partnerships, brand integration, sustainability reporting and ESG disclosure. Under her leadership, Nike was a founding contributor to the New Textiles Economy initiative and was named Multinational category winner of The Circulars business awards at the 2017 World Economic Forum.  After Nike, Hudson headed the North American office for U.K.-based circular economy think-tank, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation.

Higg CEO Jason Kibbey said: “Del’s experience building purpose-led brands and supporting industries in transition will be incredibly valuable for the next phase of our growth. I first collaborated with Del around seven years ago and her understanding of both the sustainability journey and emerging opportunities within our clients’ industries is a real asset. We couldn’t be more thrilled to have her join Higg Co.”

Hudson says the COVID-19 crisis presents a pivotal moment to accelerate sustainability. “Businesses and governments need meaningful data now, more than ever, to inform decisions and rebuild global supply chains,” she said “Trust and product provenance are increasingly important and companies are seeing that digitalization of supply chain data can accelerate sustainability, circularity and transparency, just as it has accelerated all other dimensions of commerce. I’m energized by Higg Co’s opportunity to help business respond responsibly as we emerge from this crisis.”

Higg Co board member, investor and Titan Grove Chairman Jeff Tannenbaum, said: “Del’s global experience in sustainability and brand communications, with companies like Nike and AstraZeneca, and her knowledge of risk management and ESG disclosure add an exciting dimension to Higg Co’s executive team. The board welcomes her expertise and insight.”

Originally from Auckland, New Zealand, Hudson received her Bachelor’s degree in Media Studies & Communication from Massey University. She recently began studying towards a Master of Science in Nutrition. Hudson lives with her family in Portland, Oregon.
