Standard Fiber And 37.5® Technology Strengthen Partnership Through Extended Product Collaboration

BURLINGAME, Calif. — September 13, 2022 — To ensure consumers get a full night of deep, restful sleep and wake up refreshed, Standard Fiber, one of the world’s largest suppliers to the home textile market and manufacturer of basic bedding products, has expanded its collaboration with 37.5® Technology, a global leader in sustainable thermoregulation material science, to offer a broader scope of bedding products made with the innovative temperature regulating technology.

Bedding made with 37.5 Technology helps keep you warm when you’re cold and cool you down when you’re hot — continually adjusting to maintain a climate of personal comfort throughout the night. By using the thermoregulating properties of volcanic minerals, which are permanently embedded into fabric and fill, sleep products made with 37.5 Technology actively reduce humidity next to the body in order to maximize the natural cooling process of sweat evaporation. Removing moisture vapor from the skin before it turns into liquid sweat is the key to maintaining an ideal sleep climate.

“Standard Fiber has enjoyed a long-standing and successful relationship with 37.5 Technology who share our on-going commitment to providing the best sleep experience to consumers,” said Chad Altbaier, Standard Fiber CCO. “We are thrilled that their team is as eager as we are to partner on an expanded offering of new 37.5 Technology sleep products that are presently in the works”

Standard Fiber will introduce its expanded lineup of utility bedding and mattress fabrics & covers for optimizing sleep with 37.5 Technology for global distribution in early 2023. According to Altbaier, pillows, mattress pads, comforters, and mattress fabrics & covers with 37.5 Technology will be produced at both its North American and offshore factories.

“We are delighted to be expanding our partnership with Standard Fiber who has an industry reputation for excellence in the home textile, mattress, and hospitality industries,” said Serine Steinnes, executive vice president of Global Home Division for 37.5 Technology. “We are confident about the results that this collaboration will bring in terms of new innovation for bedding and mattress covers in today’s market.”

As an expert for the textile industry, he has supported partners, exhibitor advisory boards, committees, associations and visitors from all over the world with his wide-ranging specialist knowledge and wealth of experience.

“With the retirement of Michael Jänecke, we are losing the hugely experienced head of Techtextil and Texprocess. Without his dedicated input, the two events would surely not have developed into what they are today: the leading international trade fairs for the industry. During this time, he helped the industry navigate crises and grow. He has established Techtextil and Texprocess as the most important platform for international exchange in the textile industry. He made Techtextil and Texprocess into the textile industry’s foremost platforms for international exchange. And, last but not least, he was an esteemed colleague whose departure will leave a gap in the Messe Frankfurt team. Even at this early stage, we wish him all the best for his retirement from the beginning of next year,” Schmidt said.

Teijin Automotive Technologies Multi-Material Battery Enclosure Named ACCE Parts Award Winner

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — September 12, 2022 — Teijin Automotive Technologies (formerly Continental Structural Plastics) today announced that its innovative, multi-material battery enclosure has received the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) ACCE People’s Choice Award. The winner of this award is selected from the SPE ACCE Innovation Awards entries by all attendees at the annual automotive composites exposition.

The full-sized, multi-material battery enclosure features a one-piece composite cover and one-piece composite tray with aluminum and steel reinforcements. By molding the cover and the tray each as one piece, Teijin Automotive has created a system which is easier to seal and can be certified prior to shipment. The company has two patents pending for its innovative box assembly and fastening systems.

The company also developed a mounting frame utilizing a structural foam for energy absorption. This enables a reduced frame thickness and weight, while improving crash performance. Because the tray and cover are made from composites, it can be formed into complex shapes while reducing tooling complexity and cost.

“As the automotive industry moves toward electrification, Teijin Automotive Technologies’ R&D teams are continually searching for composite solutions that make sense for our customers and the end users,” said Steve Rooney, CEO of Teijin Automotive Technologies and general manager of Teijin Composites Business Unit. “This full battery enclosure is an example of how composites can make EVs lighter, safer and less complex from a servicing perspective.”

Teijin Automotive’s multi-material battery enclosure is 15% lighter than a steel battery box. Although it is equal in weight to an aluminum enclosure, the enclosure offers better temperature resistance than aluminum, especially if the phenolic resin system is used. Additionally, the one-piece design for the tray has no through holes, so no sealing or sealant are required. This not only eliminates the chance of leaks, it reduces overall production costs and complexity.

Digital Concept Meets Real Fabric: A New Material Collaboration Between Cotton Incorporated And Adobe Substance 3D

CARY, N.C. — September 12, 2022 — Cotton Incorporated and Adobe collaborated to demonstrate and showcase a new material workflow using Adobe Substance 3D applications, designed to unify digital and physical materials. As a result, the two organizations developed a new collection of virtual materials, that precisely represent manufacturable physical fabrics. Available through the Adobe Substance 3D Assets library and on Cottonworks.com, the collection blends the flexibility and rapid visualization potential of digital materials with the benefits of traditional material sourcing. Leveraging Adobe Substance 3D applications, the workflow to create the collection uses scan and procedural creation and allows design and development teams to innovate with confidence, bridging the long-standing gap between digital and physical.

In 2022, the apparel and footwear industries rely heavily on digital fabrics as a cornerstone of digital product creation — the various processes through which brands have replaced physical product samples, simulated new designs, sold to consumers through virtual photography, and continued to collaborate with suppliers during the pandemic.

Faced with the challenge of now scaling digital product creation (DPC) strategies enterprise-wide, fashion brands and retailers seek to borrow best practices and toolsets from other industries — tools like Adobe’s leading Substance 3D suite of material authoring and texturing applications — and to adapt them to fit the needs of fashion. Foremost among these needs is the requirement for digital fabrics to look and behave in precisely the same way as physical fabrics, to avoid creating an all-too-common disconnect between 3D digital assets and the eventual end product.

Bridging that gap between virtual and physical, the Cotton Incorporated and Adobe Substance 3D collaboration shows a flexible, time-saving material digitization workflow through a new fabric collection, allowing brand and retail organizations to design digitally, with complete confidence that the fabrics they are using are backed by full composition details that can be shared with mills and fabric suppliers to create an identical physical output.

Cotton Incorporated, a global research and marketing organization dedicated to advancing the use of cotton and digital tools in the supply chain, conceived of the idea for the new collection as a way of building on its pioneering work in digitizing cotton-rich fabrics at the source. To ensure that the collection would be as widely-usable and as accurate as possible, it partnered with Adobe Substance, the leading toolset for 3D texturing and digital material authoring. As a result, the collection comprised of 6 materials, designed with Adobe Substance 3D applications, brings together virtual, parametric fabrics for use in any 3D environment that supports the flexible, powerful, parametric SBSAR format, with accurate physical construction and composition information, ensuring that products designed digitally can be manufactured without compromise. More than digital twins, the Substance 3D materials uses scan and procedural techniques for higher level of control, allowing a vast number of possible variations while remaining in the realm of feasibility.

“Cotton Incorporated was the first fiber company to offer an extensive, free inventory of digital cotton fabrics, allowing a huge range of products to be born digitally, and we recognized an industry need for that work to reach the next level” says Katherine Absher, fashion and digital design manager for Cotton Incorporated. “Working in collaboration with Adobe Substance 3D, we’re now expanding on that vision – allowing designers to create in 3D, using virtual, parametric cotton materials, safe in the knowledge that the recipe for those materials can be shared with suppliers, so the finished, physical article is precisely what the designer intended. This solves one of the industry’s most acute pain points at the same time as cutting down waste, controlling costs, and improving sustainability.”

The new collection of parametric cotton fabric design files is being made available to fashion community, as a download from Adobe Substance 3D Assets (https://substance3d.adobe.com/assets), the 3D assets platform with thousands of customizable assets made with Adobe Substance 3D applications, and from cottonworks.com, the cotton resource for textile professionals.

By combining Cotton Incorporated’s expertise in fabric construction with Adobe Substance 3D digital material authoring software, the joint team set about creating this unique collection by identifying the most relevant material parameters for both creative and commercial fashion teams, and ensuring that these were consistent across both physical and digital fabrics — to an exacting degree that takes full advantage of Adobe Substance 3D applications and that can be reproduced by any brand or individual using the unique Adobe Substance 3D Ecosystem:

“We digitized the fabric collection using two complementary techniques: scan and procedural creation, allowing users to obtain photorealistic results in record time,” said Nicolas Paulhac, head of 3D Content at Adobe Substance 3D. “The created assets are adaptable to every design workflow, thanks to native integrations with the main fashion design tools (CLO, Browzwear, Lectra, etc.) as well as with every real- time and offline 3D app (Unity, Unreal, Chaos V-Ray, or others). This is an opportunity to create a single library of digital assets that can be used seamlessly at all levels of the fashion design process.”

Adobe Substance artist Pauline Boiteux completed a full set of materials from scans in a few hours. The whole process including the procedural materials was finalized in just two days. The process eliminates the need to scan all the samples of a range, one capture is enough and using Substance 3D Designer, all the color variations can be added in accurately thanks to the color management system. And because they are procedural, the digital fabric parameters can be tailored by users.

For more insight into the process of creating the collection, and an overview of how bridging the gap between digital and physical materials could transform digital product creation workflows, register for the free online workshop https://my.demio.com/ref/mlp4y8tb8iOgps4Q.

New Recycling Process For Polyester Fishing Nets Helps To Reduce Environmental Burden

TOKYO — September 12, 2022 — Fishing nets are mainly made from chemical fibers such as nylon and polyester to prevent rot as well as to ensure excellent strength and easy maintenance. Whereas common nylon fishing nets are generally easy to recycle with an established process, recycling polyester fishing nets has been technically difficult and also costly due to the lack of a dedicated process. In recent years, discarded polyester fishing nets in Japan have accounted for about 1,300 tons of landfill waste annually.

But in April 2021, a breakthrough solution was launched by Teijin Ltd. and four additional enterprises specialized in fields including fishing net manufacturing, plastic molding, fiber processing and resin processing. Under the new system, it is now possible to collect polyester fishing nets and recycle them into resin that can be used to make commercially marketable trays and stationery.

Initially, the partners faced two major tasks. First was the challenge of developing a technology capable of cleaning smelly, waterlogged fishing nets and stripping the polyester of coatings applied to improve durability. Teijin and the other partners eventually identified organic solvents that can be used in an environmentally friendly cleaning process to produce virtually odorless resin that can be recycled repeatedly.

The second big challenge was profitability. Raw polyester costs less than many other materials, so the companies knew that its resin would not be price-competitive if the cleaning and drying processes incurred prohibitive costs. The companies’ solution was to devise a method for manufacturing high-quality resin pellets containing a mixture of other recycled resins added to improve durability and heat resistance.

Thanks to this project’s success, commercially viable resin recycled from fishing nets is now being used to produce food trays for a restaurant chain in Japan. Teijin is responsible for collecting and cleaning the nets and selling the final products.

Going forward, Teijin aims to promote the new recycling system for the global production and sale of various practical products. The hope is to realize locally produced and locally consumed products in efficient circular economies that incur little energy loss. Along with strengthening the traceability of fishing nets, Teijin initially aims to recycle 1,000 tons of polyester fishing nets annually by 2030.

Teijin, a people-focused company that develops innovative solutions for enhanced quality of life, is committed to minimizing any negative impact on the environment or society through its business in order to support the society of the future.
