Freudenberg Performance Materials Strengthens Evolon Lightweight Wipes’ Position In Industrial Cleaning

WEINHEIM, Germany — April 20, 2016 — Originally designed as a durable fabric with outstanding properties, Evolon has been used for more than a decade as heavyweight high-tech cleaning cloths withstanding hundreds of wash cycles at constant performance. Pushing the limits of the unique worldwide-patented technology, Freudenberg has worked on the basis of those strengths to combine the benefits of microfilaments and the convenience of disposable items to develop its range of lightweight wipe substrates. Evolon wipes offer the best cleaning performance in their category thanks to the fineness and density of the microfilaments. Dry or pre-impregnated, Evolon lightweight wipes are set for highly demanding applications requiring the best surface preservation, and are currently being qualified by the automotive and aerospace industries. These Evolon lightweight wipes give Freudenberg the opportunity to consolidate its position on the industrial cleaning segment.

Endless microfilaments make Evolon lint-free, strong, mechanically stable and isotropic, providing extended durability and stability-in-use for dry or wet disposable and semi-disposable lightweight wipes. With a microfilament size ca. 10 times thinner than standard microfiber, wipes using the Evolon technology provide an outstanding streak-free cleaning performance and absorb up to 4 times their weight of water and 8 times their weight of oil. These are all key features which prove to be highly beneficial in high tech industrial environments.

Down to 30 gsm, Evolon microfilament wipes are 1.5 to 2 times lighter than the lightweight wipes traditionally obtained using conventional processes. Design and patterning flexibility include: flat, mesh or the new 3D structures, to fulfill the need for differentiation expressed by the customers. “The pattern was originally a more stringent subject in consumer markets, but we are more and more required by the industrial market to provide unique-looking products with superior cleaning performance. Evolon is fit for this too.” says Jean-François Kerhault, business segment manager Evolon. In this respect, Evolon 3D revolutionary pattern has been nominated as one of three finalists in the Roll Goods category at IDEA16 in Boston.

Many customers pre-impregnate Evolon substrates, to provide the task-specific light wet wipes required by a more and more segmented industrial market. Thanks to the microfilament structure, the impregnation remains stable over the product lifetime to ensure constant liquid release. The composition of Evolon microfilament textile is compatible with a multitude of pre-impregnation cleaning lotions, solvents and IPA. “Evolon is also resistant to peroxide-based disinfectant, unlike some other competitive materials. This brings a significant advantage to our customers, by allowing them to use a wider variety of cleaning agents.” adds Kerhault.

Evolon lightweight substrates are easy to convert in a large variety of formats: flat wipes, perforated rolls, pull-ups and interfold are just as easy to make.

Evolon fabrics range from 30gsm to 240gsm and are certified Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Product Class I. The Freudenberg facility producing Evolon is certified ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001 and ISO 50001.

Savio At KTM + ITM Exhibitions In Turkey

PORDENONE, Italy — April 22, 2016 — Turkey is ranked in the top five export markets of Savio, so the attendance at Turkish exhibitions is meant at massive level for being closer to the important customers who are interested in Savio machinery for either their green field or expansion projects.

KTM, Kahramanmaras Textile Machinery Show 2016, organized for the second time, will open its doors to the visitors on 2016, 28 April. In the event, machinery and technology producers and textile and garment professionals will be determining their new investments by looking at new technology productions. Savio will showcase the new Eco PulsarS automatic winder and the drumless Multicone technology.

ITM Texpo Eurasia 2016 Exhibition will bring together the world’s leading textile technology manufacturers in Istanbul on June 1-4, 2016, at Tuyap Beylikduzu Fair and Congress Center. In Istanbul, Savio will display the new Eco PulsarS automatic winder, the new Volufil machine, combining winding and thermic treatment, and the drumless Multicone technology.

At both exhibitions, Savio will highlight breakthrough innovations in the winding segment, all representing high-end and niche products with important technological content:

  • Eco PulsarS, a quantum leap forward in automatic winding;
  • the drumless Multicone technology;
  • the Volufil Multicone automatic winder for continuous shrinkage, bulking and heat setting.

Eco PulsarS

After the world premiere at ITMA Milan 2015, attracting a lot of attention from customers, Eco PulsarS will be showcased in Turkey for the first time. EcoPulsarS, with its innovative platform can save up to 30 percent power bill, reduce yarn waste, air conditioning costs & noise inside the spinning room.

Energy is a major cost component in the textile industry. The rising energy prices, affecting fuel and electricity, have caused soaring costs in the process, thus reduced the competitiveness of textile products in some domestic markets, where imported products may be cheaper. Suction represents 75 percent of the total energy of a winding machine. EcoPulsarS’s solution of the “individual and independent suction unit per spindle” represents a real break-through versus the conventional system. Each unit operates at optimum suction values without influencing the rest of the spindles. In addition, independent suction systems are provided to the auxiliary devices for fully automatic machines. This means no more compromises in balancing the suction as in conventional centralized systems, in which the fan is permanently in operation. Since suction is generated only when needed, customer can save up to 30% power bill costs, while a better efficiency, a smoother winding process and overall superior package and yarn quality are achieved too. EcoPulsarS combining all new features and design has created an environment in which each part of the machine can operate at its optimum level. Spindles and bobbins feeding systems set independently the level of suction required. Suction is generated as needed and used without losses. The new Controlled Cut System, Yarn Tension Control System, Waste Collection&Separation System and Upgraded Splicing Solutions, each contributing to the overall reduction of process downtimes. Eco PulsarS, with its sustainable eco-green advantage, replies to the market demand of energy saving, together with improved production performances, high quality packages and utmost flexibility.

Polar Multicone

Savio’s well proven and the best-selling automatic winder model Polar is still the #1 winder in many world markets, for the traditional standard winding platform.

This state- of-the-art machine has been designed keeping in mind the demands of our customers in terms of increased productivity, reduced energy consumption, reduced waste and production of yarn package of top high quality. Further emphasis has been given to realize machines friendly use and almost maintenance free for any type of working environments.

All POLAR models (manual feeding, automatic feeding free standing, and automatic link) represent the utmost technology available: the previous success of the mechanical models has been followed by the last generation of the fully controlled electronic one.

Savio’s Multicone digital yarn layering technology (drumless) is available for Polar range and represents the proper solution to achieve flexibility, for an easy and fast change in the winding process to prepare all formats. Packages for dyeing, warping, weft, knitting, twisting, require a different and flexible package formation in terms of geometry, edges shape and density.

Polar “Multicone” system represents today the proper solution to achieve this kind of flexibility in the package formation.

Volufil Multicone

Volufil Multicone combines thermic treatment and winding process on a single machine.

The consolidated success of the “Volufil technology” and the new demand of different yarns for diversified fabric applications, has requested several new developments on the machine technology.
The new Volufil Multicone represents the proper reply to the new markets requirements.

We have extended the technological process on acrylic heat set yarns, on special yarns (chenille) and on traditional HB Acrylic fibers, also blended with wool and elastomeric filaments.

The new winding system “Multicone” allows the best solution for any yarn type and package format with different traverse take-up. The Multicone system allows the tailoring of package for different end use with simple settings on PC.

Lenzing Launched “4S Denim Capsule Collection” At Kingpins Amsterdam

LENZING, Austria — April 2016 — Lenzing, a producer of wood-based cellulose fibers, launched the “4S Denim Capsule Collection” at Kingpins show in Amsterdam.

Produced in partnership with Jeanologia, and featuring fabrics from several mill partners, the collection showcases original denim silhouettes for both womenswear and menswear. The name of the collection “4S” stands for Softness, Stretch, Science and Sustainability. Three stories are highlighted within the 4S collection: Dude Ranchers, Tech Artisan, and Deconstructing Denim. Each story, and the collection overall, highlights all the elements that are the essence of a modern day premium denim line.

Fabric constructions are evolving as consumer demand for both comfort and function grows. Companies are pioneering techniques and practices based on sound scientific research, reducing the use of energy, water, chemicals in the denim supply chain as they strive to reduce their overall environmental impact. None of these advances would be possible without collaborations within the supply chain. The supply chain partners for 4S are Lenzing, Jeanologia (Spain), Advance Denim (China), Atlantic Mill (Thailand), Blue Diamond (China), Orta (Turkey), Toray International (Japan).

“We’ve created this collection and named it 4S because not only did we want to emphasize both the softness and stretch elements but also highlight the scientific research and investment that is taking place within the denim supply chain,” said Michael Kininmonth, Project Manager from Lenzing, who worked with Jeanologia on the capsule collection. “We were delighted with the reaction to the “TENCEL® 24 Day into Night collection”, so much so, that it was a natural choice to continue our partnership with Jeanologia, and like Lenzing they are endeavoring to be leaders in their field for technology and sustainability.”

While stretch has become a staple in the denim arena, with 4S it is hoped that the technology behind the materials and the new styles being presented will create a stir in the industry. “We are trying to employ modern fabrics and modern laundry techniques to innovate and create new ideas,” said Kininmonth.

“In the market today you will see indigo styles and non-indigo styles in stretch constructions, but a lot of the finishing is quite conservative. We have tried to challenge that via the themes that run through this collection.”

“We are using different washes to show how the fabric performs both in terms of aesthetic and performance,” said Carme Santacruz, Jeanologia designer. “Three or four years ago, nobody could have imagined creating men’s fabrics with 30, 40 or 50 percent stretch. We’ve created our men’s styles to look like a traditional vintage jean, but in terms of touch and how they wear, this line is totally different.”

The 4S: Softness, Stretch, Science and Sustainability collection debuted at Kingpins Amsterdam, April 13th and 14th.

Tietex International Develops, Rolls Out FR Chemical Free Filler Cloth

SPARTANBURG, S.C. — April 19, 2016 — The manufacturing company that originated the mattress industry’s first filler cloth 40 years ago has announced and implemented a major breakthrough in fire retardant technology.

Tietex International has broken new ground by developing a new generation of patent pending FR filler cloth that is free of organohalogen  and organophosphorous components, according to Wade Wallace, company president & COO. He said, “Eliminating these chemicals is doubtless a big deal in our business, but we’re excited to say these new products also deliver unprecedented FR performance. We’re gratified that independent burn tests now prove a dramatic increase in char strength and a substantial increase in time-to-failure.”

Tietex officially debuted its proprietary FR products at ISPA’s 2016 EXPO. Wallace said that prior to ISPA, “we already had alerted a few key customers; but EXPO gave us the venue to reach a much broader audience that increasingly has expressed concern over the use of chemicals in sleep products.”

In recent months, he explained, various studies have attempted to link certain flame-retardant chemicals to potentially serious health risks. “Currently, environmental chemists cannot prove the extent of any risk, but we felt eliminating the FR chemicals altogether would negate the issue once and for all, as it pertains to filler cloth,” Wallace said.

Rhett Lancaster, vice president of sales and marketing, touts the new filler as “an ideal FR solution” because it offers four performance grades that can satisfy virtually any mattress style and any price point. “We have designed these products to be lightweight, yet durable,” he said, adding that “overall performance characteristics are preferred by major brands that serve both domestic and hospitality markets.”

In addition, Lancaster said, the new FR filler continues to meet or exceed both U.S. and British fire testing regulations (FR Compliant/16CFR, Part 1633 and FR Compliant/BS 5852 Crib-5).

Sponsored by the Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry (INDA), the IDEA16 Conference and Exposition serves the global nonwovens/engineered fabrics industry. ITW Dynatec has a distinguished history with the triennial IDEA event as a multiple award recipient from past shows. In 2010 and 2013, the company won the “Most Innovative Technology” award in the equipment classification, making them the first company ever to receive back-to-back recognitions in that category. This year, ITW Dynatec looks to make ‘IDEA history’ again by being recognized for its Ultra™ Strand Coating System (SCS).

Ultra™ Strand Coating System (SCS)

The ITW Dynatec Ultra™ Strand Coating System (SCS) is a revolutionary patent-pending strand applicator that is specifically designed for the disposable hygiene market. SCS technology brings the highest level of efficiency to the application of adhesive coatings on elastic strands for enhanced manufacturing line efficiency and superior end product performance. Ultra SCS key features include: high-speed technology (up to 1,400 pads per minute); Rapid Change-Over (RCO) design for quicker maintenance; Ultra-stitch and Ultra-touch nozzle designs to meet multiple requirements; Integrated hardened steel elastic strand guides for extended lifespan; Larger adhesive orifices for less plugging and higher line efficiency; Optimized module technology for faster response and longer cycle life; and the lowest usage of adhesive available with total creep strength down to 1% (even as low as 15 grams/linear meter/strand).

Vector™ Surge Applicator

ITW Dynatec’s Vector Surge Applicator will also be on display at IDEA16.  The Vector Surge Applicator was recognized as “Most Innovative Equipment Technology” at IDEA13, and received an EDANA Industry Excellence Award at the 2014 INDEX Nonwovens Exhibition in Geneva.  The Surge Applicator is an advanced add-on technology to the company’s Vector Metered Platform that also won a “Most Innovative Equipment Technology” award at a previous IDEA show. It extends the capability of the Vector Metered Platform by providing precise variable volume capability in all orientations. The surge process provides heavier adhesive application where needed, and lighter volumes elsewhere on the substrate for extensive raw material savings, reduced machine maintenance, and energy savings. Because Surge’s pumps are on the applicator, a correct metered amount of adhesive is always guaranteed, regardless of volume, throughout the ramp cycles as well as steady state.

Vector™ Metered Platform offers precise point of application metering to reduce waste, resulting in adhesive savings up to 50%. The true innovation of Vector lies not just in its precision capabilities, but also in its single hose inlet and built-in network of adhesive delivery locations that makes it simple to adapt to specific applications. Unlike traditional applicators, Vector is mounted in close proximity to the application point for greater accuracy. Vector also accommodates up to six individual hose units per drive for metering individual flows to each application. In addition, the pump design enables rapid changeover, reducing downtime when changing adhesive weights, or switching products.

UFD™ Elite Series Nozzles

Also on display at IDEA16 will be the redesigned UFD Elite Series Nozzles. The nozzle design and applicator improve performance while reducing the frequency of maintenance and nozzle replacements. UFD premium, high-performance nozzle technology is ideally suited to DHP, C&L and product assembly applications. This new, simplified version of the patented UFD applicator nozzle features larger orifices and fewer, thicker plates. UFD Elite Series Nozzles orifice entry passages were increased in size up to 50% and flow paths were improved to allow for more even distribution across the nozzle and higher fluid velocity. Now consisting of 5 total plates at 9.5mm thick (versus 11 plates at 11.1mm thickness), this more robust nozzle has been designed using computational fluid dynamics to optimize adhesive flow, resulting in reduced nozzle plugging and better pattern consistency.

ITW Dynatec And The Disposable Hygiene Industry
