MISSION Launches New Line Of Innovative Heating Technologies To Help Athletes Combat Colder Tempertures For Training And Competition

NEW YORK CITY — November 3, 2016 — MISSION, the sports performance leader in Thermoregulation technologies, has announced the launch of its new Heating line of Accessories & Gear powered by game-changing technologies to keep athletes super warm and dry in colder weather conditions.

The new Heating line includes a full range of Accessories & Gear, including High Performance Gloves, Scarves, Headbands, Beanies, Balaclavas, Neck Gaiters and Baselayer Tops and Bottoms. The ultra-lightweight and breathable Heating collection is entirely constructed to deliver superior warmth without the weight, while keeping athletes dry during training and competition.

As the global leader in Thermoregulation, Mission is once again setting a new standard for microclimate management and temperature control to enhance performance and comfort for athletes at all levels of play.  From its new Performance Gloves that are carbon-infused and promote 20 percent greater heat retention than standard fleece, to its new Performance Baselayer Tops & Bottoms that are powered by 37.5® technology and keep you super warm and dry, Mission’s latest product innovations, further reinforce the company’s focus on cutting edge technologies for enhancing performance through temperature control.

“It’s a simple equation, at Mission we put the athletes first when developing our new innovations. The two biggest complaints we heard from athletes in fall/winter training were associated with the bulk and weight of winter gear and how it impedes dexterity and performance, and secondly, that the bulk and weight of the winter gear produces significantly more sweat, which makes the athlete colder, faster. Our new Mission Heating line nails both of these, providing athletes with superior warmth without the weight, and superior dryness throughout the activity. As the brand that has created and led the Cooling category for the last 5 years, we’re fired up to bring that same maniacal innovation focus to the Heating category,” said Josh Shaw, CEO and Founder of Mission.

“Mission’s new Heating line is going to change the way athletes train and compete in the cold weather.  These items are so warm, yet lightweight, which eliminates the bulk and sweat that can get in the way of performing to your potential.  They will be a must-have when training in the fall and winter,” said Mission partner and New York City FC Captain David Villa.

The line will be available at leading retailers such as Dick’s Sporting Goods, Academy Sports, Target, Lowe’s, and Mission.com.

Alexiflam FR Treated Samples Sent To The United States Marine Corps

PERTH, Australia/WASHINGTON — November 7, 2016 — On the heels of meeting with senior personnel at United States Marine Corps Systems Command to discuss next generation flame retardant military uniforms, Alexium International Group Ltd. is pleased to announce that it recently furnished the Marines samples of Corps approved uniform fabric treated with Alexium’s environmentally friendly flame retardant chemistry along with independent testing data.

These samples will now be evaluated by technology and procurement specialists at the Infantry Combat Equipment (ICE) division of the Marine Corps, which has the task of ensuring the uniforms worn by the Marines are safe and effective.

“Much like the consumer market, the military market has reacted to the serious health risks, both to personnel and the environment, of using dangerous, outdated flame retardant chemistry,” said Alexium CEO Nicholas Clark. “When we met with the Marines, they immediately requested data and samples of their preferred fabric treated with our innovative FR chemistry, and we are pleased to deliver on that request and to have our product evaluated against the most stringent specifications. With our continued work with the Army, working closely with the Marine Corps is a natural step for Alexium to take, and I have every confidence that after evaluation, Alexium will play a vital role to help protect these brave men and women who serve,” added Clark.

Marine Corps Systems Command and the Army’s Program Executive Office – Soldier have been collaborating to develop, test and deliver ever-better capabilities for Marines and Soldiers. These acquisition professionals are tasked to ensure uniforms and personal protective equipment are safe and effective. This effort is ongoing, and flame resistant uniforms and protective materials was listed as a top priority for this group in September, and Alexium has been well received since the initial discussion began.

Alexium President, Dirk Van Hyning, added: “Expanding our efforts with the United States military has always been a goal of Alexium, and this advances that effort in a significant way. Alexium first targeted producing an eco-friendly FR nylon-cotton twill product for the Marines over two years ago and our significant progress toward a finished, ready-to-go uniform fabric was clear to the Marines, as evidenced by the request for data and samples Alexium has provided. This is an exciting complementary effort to our work with the Army.”

Tianhai Athleisure Solutions Introduces Customized Lace And Jacquard Knits At Performance Days In Munich November 16th And 17th With Creora® Fresh Spandex

GUANGZHOU, China — November 5, 2016 — Tianhai Athleisure (TAS), a new division of leading Chinese lace manufacturer Tianhai Lace, will introduce a new Design-to-Garment platform: D2G with creora® Fresh spandex at the upcoming Performance Days trade show in Munich November 16 and 17.

D2G, a design-to-fit jacquard program, is a very flexible and versatile body-mapping system in which pattern repetitions can be engineered to any garment’s shape or size. It enables brands to develop exclusive patterns for tops and bottoms, including finishing details (hem, waist, neckline, etc.). D2G by TAS requires close cooperation with a customer’s designers and technical staff as each and every fabric will be unique for the intended garment.

The fabrics can be engineered to offer various levels of compression with creora® spandex where needed. The resulting body-mapped garments will have fewer seams while providing breathability and comfort along with tailored high performance functions. Additional functionality can be incorporated to provide moisture management, thermal or cooling benefits and with creora® Fresh, odor neutralization.

“With D2G, the possibilities for creativity, innovation and differentiation are unlimited,” says Bob Wong, project manager of the new TAS division. “We see patterned knits as a niche to fill in a market dominated by more basic fabrics. Our technology makes it possible to engineer a garment in ways that were previously not possible with engineered compression plus performance like with creora® Fresh, odor neutralizing spandex”

Sawgrass’ SubliJet-IQ Pro Photo XF Inks Deliver Extended Print Display Permanence More Than Three Times Longer Than Silver Halide Prints

SHEFFIELD, England — November 4, 2016 — Sawgrass’ SubliJet-IQ Pro Photo XF inks for Epson 7890 and 9890 SubliJet professional solutionshave earned a print display permanence rating of 64 years from Wilhelm Imaging Research (WIR)when used to imprint ChromaLuxe high-definition photo panels. Designed for and used by fine art and professional photography printmakers, these inks deliver prints that last more than three times longer than those made on silver halide photo paper with other types of photographic ink.

“Sublimated prints on ChromaLuxe HD photo panels are becoming more and more popular in the fine art and high-end photography markets, with several high-profile exhibits recently celebrated in the US, Europe and Asia,” said Patrick McGinnis, Sawgrass’ director of Product Marketing. “For many printmakers, offering extended print display permanence is a top concern, as the quality and lifespan of the images are incredibly valuable to their customers. Our SubliJet-IQ Pro Photo inks have long been used for sublimating these prints, and we wanted to provide a solution that would greatly lessen the impact light can have on the longevity of a print.”

Sawgrass worked with ChromaLuxe to develop XF inks for increased UV stability, image longevity and performance on ChromaLuxe media. This eight-cartridge set features three black inks — KXF, LkXF and LlkXF — which add extended longevity to prints, in addition to enhanced skin tones, neutral blacks and detail that fine art and photographic prints demand.

Wilhelm Imaging Research, the world’s leading independent print permanence testing laboratory, conducted comprehensive, multi-factor print permanence tests under standard interior light conditions on ChromaLuxe high-definition photo panels. The results found extended colorfastness and image permanence of 64 years and more than three times that of prints made on silver halide photo paper.

When displayed, unframed prints made with the latest generation of ChromaLuxe aluminum photo panels are far more stable and longer lasting than Kodak Endura or other current silver-halide papers, including silver-halide prints framed under UV-absorbing acrylic or glass or when face-mounted to UV-absorbing acrylic.

“Very complex interactions take place between sublimation inks and the ink receptive polymer coatings of dye sublimation prints, both during the short, high-heat image transfer step involved in making the prints and, very gradually over time, during the long-term display and storage of the prints,” said Henry Wilhelm, Director of Research at WIR “What a print looks like when it emerges from the heat press tells you nothing at all about how long it will last. You can consider permanence — or the lack thereof — to be the invisible factor in sublimation printing.

“In terms of how long your prints will last, sublimation on metal photo panels is a new and rapidly advancing technology, and all aluminum photo panels — frequently referred to in the marketplace simply as ‘Metal Prints’ — are by no means the same,” Wilhelm continued. “If your lab is using untested products, both you and your customers are flying blind.”

Earlier this year, Sawgrass released a formulation of SubliJet-HD Pro Photo XF inks for the Virtuoso 25” 8-Color HD Product Decorating System.

The complete SubliJet-IQ Pro Photo XF solution includes unique color profiles for Windows and Mac OS drivers, as well as popular rip software. All color profiles are optimized for superior image quality in a wide range of applications, including interior signage, fine art and photographic reproduction or high-volume production of personalized gifts and promotional products.
