CORDURA® And Sapphire Finishing Mills Ltd. Collaborate With Dovetail Workwear To Produce The New Ready Set Cargo Pant

KENNESAW, Ga. — September 9, 2022 — With the upcoming launch of the new Ready Set Cargo Pant from Dovetail Workwear – the exclusively women’s workwear apparel company based in Portland, Oregon – CORDURA® and Sapphire Finishing Mills Ltd. are equally proud to announce their partnership on the development of the evolved style built for, with, and by women.  A pant often worn by emergency medical technicians (EMTs), tactical teams, and outdoor adventurers, the Ready Set Cargo is a reimagined and stylish multi-pocketed pant designed with intuitive functionality for tough jobs featuring Cordura NYCO Fabric in a micro-ripstop fabric and milled by Sapphire Finishing Mills Ltd.  The Ready Set Cargo is a classic example of Dovetail Workwear’s exemplary design and production processes where women are involved every step of the way.

“We worked closely together, pooling ideas, and combining our strengths. This third Dovetail Workwear x CORDURA® Advanced Fabrics launch is yet again a testament to innovation through collaboration which has resulted in building durable relationships and products designed to withstand the test of time,” explains Cindy McNaull, Cordura brand business development director. “Whether hiking up a mountain to rescue a fallen climber, teaching survival tactics in an outdoor school, or handling airline cargo in rural Alaska — the women who tested Dovetail’s new Ready Set Cargo need serious pants that stand up to the job.  This latest Sapphire Finishing Mills Ltd. Cordura NYCO Fabric innovation is designed for ultimate endurance and lasting comfort.”

A fresh take on the classic cargo, ‘Ready Set Cargo’ is the star of the show in Dovetail’s Fall–Winter 2022 Second Nature campaign, and another mark of Cordura Advanced Fabrics recognizing the growing cross-over lifestyle trend in apparel, gear, footwear — and in particular workwear.

The pants are sewn in the same facility that mills the fabric; a process that involves a 90 percent women-powered workforce. Sapphire Finishing Mills Ltd. weaves together innovative technologies and traditional craftsmanship, with a robust women’s empowerment program and a wraparound approach to sustainability.  Home-to-work transportation and childcare are among the benefits for all 2,400 of the mill’s working women.

This classic utility-cargo has benefited from a fresh look and the details have been ‘Dovetailed’ for optimal function and a flattering fit. With 8 pockets (including 2 big-bellowed pockets) and 2 clip tabs for carabiners, Ready Set Cargo is a walking storage unit for tools, supplies and gear. An elasticized EZ Waist adds comfort, and elastic cuffs keep out the grit and grime. With style and storage, wearers can have it all, and carry it too. Available in Black, Olive Green, and Dark Navy, sizes 000–18, inseams 28, 30, 32, 34. MSRP: $109 with worldwide shipping.

Sapphire Finishing Mills Ltd. Senior Merchandiser Alishba Shabbir explained: “Very few names in the industry are dedicated to workwear garments engineered especially for women and catering to their distinct needs. I was moved by Dovetail’s brand story, and together with our long-standing relationship with Cordura Advanced Fabrics, this was the perfect opportunity to take women’s workwear to another level and into new cross-over markets.”

Responsibly made, Ready Set Cargo is virtually indestructible and beautifully sewn. But to be sure the pants are ready for anything, Dovetail put them to the test with Wilderness EMT Instructor and member of a technical rescue squad in New Hampshire, Ariel Temper. Bruise wheels, medical tape and trauma shears are just a few of the tools found in Temper’s pockets. In addition to outdoor rescue and instruction, Temper also works in her local Emergency Room. As with all Dovetail pants, wear testers suggested tweaks in fit and function, which made their way to the final product to ensure they are ready for anything.

Temper explained: “These pants passed all my tests, including my ‘pick-your-patient-off-the-floor test.’’ Thanks to the integration of Cordura nylon fiber into the fabric’s construction, the Ready Set Cargo is tough enough for sharp tools and jobsite hazards, while the cotton helps keep them breathable, with a flattering high-waisted fit.”

Dovetail Workwear founder and Product Director Sara De Luca is proud of the stellar innovation, manufacturing, and wear tester partners, who bring her designs to life. “From Alishba, Ariel, and Cindy to all the extraordinary women they represent and work with Ready Set Cargo has truly been the dream team. Dovetail Workwear was born to lift women up. Now more than ever, women need each other to push against serious obstacles to our empowerment and protection. But we are ready — and we’ve got the pants to prove it,” De Luca commented.

Hexcel HexPly® M9.6 Prepregs Receive Bureau Veritas Type Approval for Marine Use

STAMFORD, Conn. — October 4, 2022 — Hexcel Corp. has received Type Approval for its HexPly® M9.6GF prepreg products from Bureau Veritas (BV), a world leader in testing, inspection, and certification services.

This important third-party certification enables these carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy prepregs to be used in the production of parts for all BV-approved marine vessels. It also guarantees the quality, performance and consistency of the prepregs for ship and boat builders.

BV-approved HexPly M9.6GF prepregs can be reinforced with unidirectional, non-crimp and twill-weave fabrics. They are particularly suitable for use in the manufacture of masts and other large structural components for wind-assisted ship propulsion (WASP). To reduce reliance on engines and cut fuel usage, WASP vessels harness the power of ocean winds often using large carbon fiber-reinforced masts flying durable composite solid sails.

HexPly M9.6 prepregs were recently used to manufacture the mast for the Chantiers de l’Atlantique Silenseas project. The HexPly M9.6 prepregs satisfied all the requirements of the Silenseas consortium’s mast-section manufacturers for quality, mechanical performance, and processing characteristics, while also proving to be cost effective.

“Hexcel has supplied advanced composite materials to the marine industry for more than 40 years,” said Thomas James, Marine Business Development Manager, Hexcel. “Receiving BV Type Approval for our HexPly M9.6GF prepregs demonstrates that we are committed to developing new composite technologies for the marine sector, helping builders evolve their designs to produce lighter, more fuel-efficient, and more sustainable craft for the future.”

California Governor Signs First-In-Nation Ban On PFAS “Forever Chemicals” In Textiles

PORTLAND, OR — September 30, 2022 — Yesterday, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law a first in the nation groundbreaking bill (AB 1817) that explicitly bans the use of PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances), also known as “forever chemicals,” in many textiles. The policy includes first in the nation bans on PFAS in apparel (both indoor and outdoor), accessories, and handbags starting in 2025. PFAS in outdoor apparel for severe wet conditions will be eliminated as of 2028 and manufacturers will be required to disclose the presence of PFAS in the products as of 2025. The law also directs manufacturers to use the least toxic alternative as they move away from PFAS. In addition, a bill to ban PFAS in apparel is currently awaiting the governor’s signature in New York. And, Washington state is considering similar action on PFAS in apparel via their existing regulatory processes.

Governor Gavin Newsom also signed two other significant bills that help protect people from toxic chemical exposures. These include:

  • AB 2771 restricts PFAS in cosmetic products. California now joins Colorado in becoming the second state to pass a state law that explicitly bans the entire class of PFAS in cosmetics.
  • SB 502 reforms aspects of California’s Safer Consumer Products program. The new policy will make California’s program more efficient by granting data call-in authority to the program, streamlining processes (including giving the program the authority to regulate on the basis of alternatives analyses published by other governments or in the peer reviewed literature), and setting clear timelines and more transparent work plans.

Health and environmental advocacy organizations from California and states across the country applaud this move and anticipate more government policies to follow. Natural Resources Defense Council, Breast Cancer Prevention Partners, and Safer States released the following statements in response to this news.

“Californians across the spectrum overwhelmingly support getting PFAS out of everyday products like clothes and textiles,” said Avinash Kar, a senior attorney and director of the Health & Food program at NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council). “By making AB 1817 California law, the Governor and the legislature are helping to protect the health and environment of Californians and beyond.”

“An estimated 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, yet manufacturers continue to use unnecessary and toxic PFAS chemicals, which are linked to breast and other cancers, in everyday products, including textiles,” said Nancy Buermeyer, director of program & policy for Breast Cancer Prevention Partners. “This critical bill will protect Californians, and consumers across the nation, from these dangerous chemicals in the clothes and textiles we wear and use in our homes and businesses.”

“California is once again at the forefront of states taking action to stop the flow of toxic PFAS chemicals,” explained Sarah Doll, national director of Safer States. “With one of the largest economies in the nation, California’s chemical policies will have ripple effects across the marketplace.”

Background On PFAS “Forever Chemicals”

Chemical companies sell PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) for application to products such as paper and textiles as stain-resistant, water-repellent, and grease-proofing treatments. PFAS has been linked to serious health problems such as cancer, immune system suppression, increased cholesterol levels, pregnancy-induced hypertension, liver damage, reduced fertility, and increased risk of thyroid disease. PFAS are known as “forever” chemicals because they don’t break down in the environment.

State governments are taking legislative and regulatory actions to phase out PFAS in products to prevent contamination in favor of safer alternatives. For example, laws in ME and WA have given state agencies authority to ban PFAS in a wide range of products. Maine’s law requires product manufacturers to disclose the presence of PFAS. Eleven states (CA, CO, CT, HI, MD, ME, MN, NY, RI, VT, and WA) have enacted state bans on PFAS in food packaging. CO also adopted restrictions on oil and gas products and personal care products. Eleven states including CA, CO, CT, HI, IL, ME, MD, NH, NY, VT, and WA have put in place bans on the sale of firefighting foam containing PFAS. On textiles specifically, five states including CA, CO, ME, MD, and VT have adopted restrictions on PFAS in carpets, rugs, and aftermarket treatments and regulatory action is pending on these products and other home textiles (e.g. upholstery, bedding) in CA and WA. In addition, CO adopted restrictions on indoor and outdoor furniture.

ASTM International’s Cannabis Committee Approves Four New Standards

W. CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. — October 3, 2022 — ASTM International’s cannabis committee (D37) has approved four new standards that will benefit those working within the cannabis industry, as well as regulators and consumers of cannabis and cannabis-related products.

The first standard (D8375) will provide a method to establish cannabinoid content in cannabis and hemp samples.

ASTM member Garnet McRae notes that laboratories, producers, and researchers will find the standard useful. He adds that regulatory bodies and consumers will also benefit as the standard will help ensure products are labeled properly in jurisdictions where they are legally produced and sold.

The standard may also be used in forensics labs for analysis of illegal samples to confirm cannabinoid content and to support further cannabinoid research.

A second standard (D8399) will aid laboratories in analyzing cannabis and hemp samples to establish pesticide concentration levels – or lack thereof – to ensure products meet regulatory requirements within appropriate jurisdictions.

Regulatory requirements typically include minimum concentration performance limits which pesticide methods must achieve. The standard will help to address health and safety concerns as well as labelling and regulatory requirements for consumable cannabis products.

McRae adds that cannabis testing laboratories, producers, regulatory bodies, and consumers, will all benefit from the new standard.

The third standard (D8442) will provide a method to test for terpenes and cannabinoids in cannabis using gas chromatography.

According to ASTM International member Randall Shearer, this standard will assist in quality control for cannabis, allowing cultivators, extractors, producers, and regulatory bodies to ensure safety and consistency of cannabis and hemp products. Shearer notes it will be most useful to manufacturers, regulatory bodies, and labs to address consumer needs.

The final standard (D8469) will aid manufacturers, regulatory bodies, and other cannabis industry stakeholders by providing a new test method for metals in cannabis.

The standard provides a method through inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) that will be used for detecting dangerous metals such as arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and lead in cannabis.

The committee is planning a full inter-laboratory study of the standard later in 2022.

Baldwin Technology Partners With Fi-Tech To Represent Its Textile And Nonwoven Finishing Technologies In North America

ST. LOUIS — October 3, 2022 — To ensure exceptional service amid growing demand for sustainable solutions, Fi-Tech Inc. will represent Baldwin Technology Co. Inc.’s complete textile and nonwoven product lines as its sales agent in the United States and Canada. The new partnership is effective immediately.

Baldwin’s solutions enable fabric producers to significantly reduce their chemical, water, gas and power consumption while increasing productivity. The contact-free technology makes it possible to eliminate entire steps from the textile manufacturing process, like drying and bath changeovers required when switching between fabric colors to avoid color contamination.

Founded in 1972 and headquartered in Richmond, Va., Fi-Tech is well established as a leading agency and distribution firm for textile and nonwoven machinery. Its initial focus was on man-made fibers and nonwovens and it has since expanded its portfolio to represent manufacturers of complete machines or technical components used in the production of nonwovens, man-made fibers, polymer, textiles, converting, perforated products and tobacco processing. Fi-Tech also maintains a spare parts inventory for many of the companies it represents.

“With the increasing demand of Baldwin’s finishing technology, we needed to find the right partner for sales promotion in the U.S. and Canadian markets for knits, wovens and non-wovens,” said Rick Stanford, Baldwin Technology’s vice president, Global Business Development, Textiles. “Fi-Tech of Richmond, Virginia is the perfect partner. They are well established in the textile and non-wovens industry and their portfolio of principals provides excellent synergy with Baldwin’s precision spray and plasma treater systems.”

Ian Mills, market development director at Fi-Tech, said he is convinced that the partnership is an opportunity for both sides. “With our wide-ranging networks we will be able to introduce Baldwin to leaders in sustainable knit, woven and non-woven production,” Mills said. “We are impressed by Baldwin’s long history and leading position in both the technology and the market. Fi-Tech is constantly searching the market for the best suppliers with the best solutions to give our customers the competitive advantages they need to be successful today and into the future.”

Baldwin offers two key precision application solutions for fabric makers: TexCoat G4, which offers single- or dual-sided application of chemistries like fabric softeners, antimicrobial agents, durable water repellents, and others to textiles and TexMoister G2, which offers single- or dual-sided application of water to fabrics. Both systems use non-contact, precision-valve spray technology.

Baldwin precision spray enables either a light topical coating on lightweight fabrics or a deep penetration on heavyweight fabrics in a manner that reduces chemical and/or water consumption by 50 percent or more when compared with traditional padding methods. The non-contact technology eliminates the chemical wastewater associated with pad changes.

Baldwin also provides Rotor Spray technology, which uses rotary discs to achieve an even spray. Rotor Spray meets the demands for very precise low-level application often required in non-woven applications.

Additionally, Baldwin offers the market’s most efficient Corona/Plasma Treatment Systems with high-performance electrodes ensuring effective surface treatment for enhanced dyeing, coating, and adhesion on a variety of textile materials. The slim design enables easy integration and retrofit into existing production lines, and our features allow for fast and easy service.

Baldwin’s solutions are used in a wide variety of fabrics from basic jersey and fleece with softening and anti-microbial finishes to technical fabrics such as outdoor gear, military, upholstery, automotive and industrial fabrics utilizing the latest in technical finishes such as DWR, soil release, flame retardants and insect repellent among others.

EURATEX Response To The Latest EU Energy Council Decision: More Ambition And Joint European Efforts Are Needed

BRUSSELS — October 4, 2022 — On Friday, September 30, the EU Energy ministers approved a Council Regulation proposal to address high energy prices. The Regulation focusses on the electricity prices and electricity demand reduction, on a solidarity levy from the fossil fuel sector and a retail levy for SMEs. While these initiatives are driven by goodwill, they miss the point of bringing gas prices down — the one measure that would bring the biggest impact on European industry.

EURATEX — as the voice of the European apparel and textiles manufacturers — regrets this lack of ambition: the Regulation does not foresee any meaningful action to directly support the European industry. This can accelerate the de-industrialisation of Europe and loss of industrial capacity to secure the European standard of living and implementing the Green Deal.

“We call on the EU and Member States to pursue our common European interests. The hesitation to adopt a European price cap on natural gas, accompanied by massive national spending programs to subsidise domestic gas consumption, is a dereliction of duty”, said Director General Dirk Vantyghem.

Triggering competition among Member States rather than promoting cooperation in bringing gas prices down for all European companies will also prove ineffective: indeed, the industrial structure in the European Union is fully integrated. Once a segment of the value chain perishes because of the crisis in one country, all companies based in the EU will suffer its negative effect, driving prices up in the supply chain and adding further strain to our operations. The European industry will be saved as a unified industry, or it will not be saved at all. Fragmenting the internal market will not protect any Member State’s domestic manufacturing.

In addition to a EU-wide price cap on gas, EURATEX calls on the European Commission to swiftly amend the Temporary Crisis Framework, making sure the criteria and thresholds applied do not exclude vulnerable companies from possible support (e.g. in textile finishing and services). We also encourage the European Commission to revise the ETS Indirect Carbon Leakage mechanism and include the man-made fibers, nonwovens, spinning and weaving sectors.

It is high time now for the European Union — in particular for Member States and the Commission — to step up their ambition and adopt a European vision: a chaotic and fragmented approach will not mitigate the crisis but accelerate it.

Autumn Editions Of Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics And Yarn Expo To Merge With Spring 2023 Fairs

HONG KONG — September 19, 2022 — Originally scheduled to take place in October 2022, the two Autumn fairs will now be merged with next year’s spring editions, to be held March 8-10. The decision is in support of the ongoing pandemic control measures in Shanghai, while the move will also integrate industry resources more efficiently and provide more certainty to exhibitors in their planning.

“We know how important the Autumn sourcing season is for textile buyers and suppliers, but as a responsible trade fair organiser, we hold a commitment both to our participants and the local authorities that extends beyond the fairground,” explained Wilmet Shea, deputy general manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd. “Given the ongoing pandemic control measures in Shanghai, and after consultations with key stakeholders, we have decided that deferring the Autumn fairs to next Spring is the most appropriate arrangement for the textile industry.”

Shea added: “While we have looked to find an appropriate time slot later this year for the Autumn shows to be held, any postponement would congest the trade fair calendar by placing the Autumn fairs too close to the Shenzhen editions of Intertextile Apparel Fabrics and Yarn Expo this November, as well as the Spring editions in Shanghai next March.”

Between now and next spring, the Shenzhen editions of Intertextile Apparel Fabrics and Yarn Expo held in autumn offer textile suppliers and buyers the opportunity to expand their business in the Greater Bay Area, a fast growing hub for high-end fashion.

Exhibitors or visitors with any queries about these fairs should email textile@hongkong.messefrankfurt.com, or visit the fairs’ respective websites:
