  • Development of Nonwoven Fabrics for Clothing Applications
    e e Sci nce Cheema et al., J Textile Sci Eng 2018, 8:6 til & x e E T n : g DOI 10.4172/2165-8064.1000382 f o i n l e a e n r r i n u g o Journal of Textile Science & Engineering J ISSN: 2165-8064 Research Article Article OpenOpen Access Access Development of Nonwoven Fabrics for Clothing Applications Cheema MS1*, Anand SC1 and Shah TH2 1Institute of Materials Research and Innovation, University of Bolton, Deane Road, Bolton BL3 5AB, United Kingdom 2National Textile University, Pakistan Abstract The apparel fabric manufacturing is a growing sector of the global textile industry and the fabrics used in this market are mainly produced by the conventional methods such as weaving and knitting processes. These methods of making apparel fabrics are length and costly. However, because of the advancements in nonwoven technology, nonwoven fabrics are finding a niche market in the clothing industry because of its cost effectiveness and high speeds of nonwoven production processes. We have carried out an extensive study on the development of apparel- like nonwoven fabrics. The resultant fabric showed improved drape, hand, durability and thermophysiological comfort characteristics than the reference samples for apparel applications. Results of the study also showed that the developed nonwoven fabrics showed nearly 200% higher tensile strength than the reference nonwoven fabrics. Furthermore, it also showed improved air permeability, for example, the resultant nonwoven fabric exhibited 500% higher air permeability value as compared with the Evolon fabric at 100 Pa pressure. Thus the results of the study indicate that the resultant nonwoven fabrics may be used in a wide range of apparel applications, which can lead to additional benefits in terms of cost and time.

  • Engraving and Cutting Synthetic Suede with a Universal Laser System
    Engraving and Cutting Synthetic Suede with a Universal Laser System Introduction A Universal laser system is ideal for cutting and engraving natural and synthetic fabrics. A Universal laser system can cut fabric more quickly and accurately than hand or knife cutting and eliminates edge fraying. A Universal laser system can also engrave a photograph, text or artwork directly onto the surface of many fabrics to create a very unique look. Some of these fabrics include felt, leather, denim, canvas, nylon, silk and polyester. Of the many fabrics that can be laser cut and engraved, one of the easiest and most popular to work with is synthetic suede. Synthetic suede, also known as Ultrasuede®, is a polyester or nylon microfiber material that has the look and feel of real suede. It is available in a wide variety of designer colors and cuts and engraves beauti- fully. Engraving into the surface of synthetic suede darkens the material and produces a high contrast appearance. Synthetic suede is easy to sew and can be used to create garments such as jackets, vests, dresses and skirts. It is also ideal for creating appliqués and all kinds of craft projects. In this tutorial you will learn how to use a Universal laser system to cut and engrave simulated suede to create a decorative throw pillow. Throw pillows are fun to make and a great introduction into the basics of cutting and engraving fabric. We hope you find the process rewarding and enjoyable. Sincerely, The Universal Laser Systems Training Staff © 2014 Universal Laser Systems, Inc Engraving and Cutting Synthetic Suede Section 1: Preparing the Artwork 1.1: In this tutorial you will learn how to engrave and cut the design shown in Graphic 1 to create a deco- rative throw pillow.

  • A Guide to Labelling When Is Leather Not Leather? Different Materials Have Different Benefits, but Labels Can Be Confusing
    LEATHER & LEATHER ALTERNATIVES A GUIDE TO LABELLING WHEN IS LEATHER NOT LEATHER? DIFFERENT MATERIALS HAVE DIFFERENT BENEFITS, BUT LABELS CAN BE CONFUSING. GET THE FACTS. Leather is of natural origin and made from the hide or skin of an animal. The internationally recognised definition of leather as the International Standard Organisation (ISO) is: Hide or Skin with its original fibrous structure more or less intact, tanned to be imputrescible, where the hair or wool may or may REAL not have been removed. LEATHER TO BE CLEAR TO CONSUMERS ABOUT THE ORIGIN AND BENEFITS OF THE MATERIALS USED TO MAKE THE PRODUCT THEY ARE BUYING, THE TERM LEATHER SHOULD ONLY BE USED FOR MATERIALS THAT MEET THIS DEFINITION. ‘Vegan leather’ is usually either artificial or synthetic, or one of a new variety of alternative materials. Any material that is not of animal origin can be referred to as vegan. It is important to note that ‘vegan’ does not necessarily mean ‘natural’ and there is no relationship with the environmental impact of the product and VEGAN whether or not it is biodegradable or can be recycled unless it is specifically stated. LEATHER It is deceiving to call a material ‘Vegan Leather’, but this is often done to market the material to imply it has the beauty, natural quality and long lasting benefits of leather. Synthetic or artificial materials made to look like leather are usually oil-based from fossil-fuel resources. They are usually made with polyester or nylon, coated with PVC or PU. Synthetic leather is not as comfortable to wear as genuine leather as it does not allow the skin to breathe in the same way.

  • Environmental Health & Safety Annual Report
    ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH & SAFETY ANNUAL REPORT The 2012 report is the 18th annual Environmental Health & Safety Report published by Knoll. We dedicate it to Lou Newett, who retired as Knoll EHS Manager in February 2013 after a 35 year-long career guiding the company on our extraordinary journey toward sustainability. “Today, Knoll continues to focus on three key environmental areas: climate change; third- party certification and design for the environment, which sets standards for environmentally responsible materials, products and processes. And we are continuing to set industry-leading standards for sustainable design.” –Andrew Cogan, Knoll CEO 1 Three Decades of Knoll Environmental Leadership: Q&A with Lou Newett We asked Lou Newett about key milestones in his environmental leadership at Knoll as well as how these related to the evolution of sustainability as a significant global issue over the past three decades. Q: What was the general state of environmental awareness when you started at Knoll in 1978? LN: The focus, in industry, was on chemistry and functionality. If heavy metals like lead and cadmium offered good color, you used them without a second thought. If Compound X removed grease, you used Compound XX to remove it even better. Almost no one was looking at the silent environmental and health effects. Q: Where did you start to implement change? LN: I was trained as a chemist, so we started with a detoxification program – getting rid of some chemical processes and materials that were very toxic. As time went on, we screened our products to make sure that when we took toxic chemicals out we didn’t use something else that put them back in.

  • Thread & Needle Recommendations
    Thread & Needle Recommendations Bonded UVR polyester: The industry standard with high strength, controlled stretch, stability in sunlight, and resistance to needle heat, abrasion, salt-water and mildew. Seldom frays at the needle eye. Bonded finish increases consistency and reduces machine tension adjustments. Nylon #69 Bonded: Designed for medium to heavy upholstery fabric, plastic, tarpaulin, and leather. High tensile strength and abrasion resistance. Not recommended for outdoor use. Tenara: Proven to be unaffected by exposure to UV radiation, cleaning agents, pollution, saltwater, air, rain and snow. Worth the extra expense if working in warmer climates or leaving canvas projects outside year round. Sailrite recommends using a #14 or #16 needle with regular Tenara thread or a #19 or #20 with Heavy Tenara thread. Monofilament: Used primarily in upholstery work. Very strong and sews “well” (easy to set upper thread tension and tension remains consistent). Clear to blend in with fabric.

  • Leather & Vinyl Repair Instructions
    Rub 'n Restore, Inc. 888-704-5571 www.rubnrestore.com LEATHER & VINYL REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS Please read through these instructions to determine what methods you should use and what items you need to buy. There are also videos on our website that demonstrate these processes. IS IT LEATHER OR VINYL? Unsure what material you're working with? When leather cracks or tears you can see or feel the fuzzy suede underneath. Damaged vinyl, on the other hand, will have a fine mesh, usually white in color, underneath. Be wary of composite leathers, which are actually synthetics. They have a suede-like backing and a soft surface that often peels or flakes. If your surface is peeling or flaking and is not because of a previous paint job, consider reupholstery or replacement. ABOUT SUBPATCHING If your leather or vinyl is torn such that you can see the substrate (batting or foam), you must insert a subpatch which will close any hole but still allow the leather/vinyl to move freely over the substrate. SUBPATCH SUPPLIES denim patches or any heavy duty fabric (you could also use another piece of leather or vinyl) flexible fabric glue (like LocTite Vinyl, Fabric, Plastic Flexible Adhesive) tweezers toothpicks book, small board, or other flat weight SUBPATCH INSTRUCTIONS 1. Cut a piece of denim or fabric so that it is a little larger than the hole. Round the edges of the patch, which makes for easier insertion. 2. Using tweezers, insert the patch, making sure it covers the entire hole and sits smoothly over the substrate. Any wrinkles or folds will create a bulge that looks and feels awkward.

  • Patent Leather
    PATENT LEATHER Patent leather was developed during the late 18th century, but it was not until 1818 that Samuel Boyden developed a linseed-oil treatment that gives patent leather its distinctive, high-gloss finish. That luster is often associated with formal wear, as evidenced by the Balenciaga evening dress on view elsewhere in this exhibition. LAMBSKIN Lambskin tends to be lighter and more malleable than cowhide, and it has a more even surface. This fine, breathable leather is also more comfortable to wear. It lends itself to a softer drape, as can be seen in the leather used for the jumpsuit by Stefano Pilati for Yves Saint Laurent. COATED CALFSKIN Chrome tanning was developed in 1858 and yields a softer leather than does vegetable tanning. The stiffness of this leather comes from the thickness of the split and the coated finish. The Comme des Garçons Biker + Ballerina ensemble uses similar leather to create a sculptural form. GOATSKIN Goatskin is durable and is used for everything from kid gloves to drum heads. The finest Moroccan leather is full-grain goatskin, meaning that its surface has not been buffed or sanded. This ensures the leather’s strength and breathability. LAMBSKIN Trapunto, from the Italian “to quilt,” is a decorative technique that adds dimension to a flat textile. Padding is stitched between two layers to raise the surface of the material. As on the exhibition’s Jean Paul Gaultier jacket, concentric circles are worked from the center out to accommodate the volume of the padding. Trapunto sample by Gabrielle Litterio, accessories design student, FIT PIGSKIN SUEDE Pigskin is ideal for suede.
