  • Choosing the Proper Short Cut Fiber for Your Nonwoven Web
    Choosing The Proper Short Cut Fiber for Your Nonwoven Web ABSTRACT You have decided that your web needs a synthetic fiber. There are three important factors that have to be considered: generic type, diameter, and length. In order to make the right choice, it is important to know the chemical and physical characteristics of the numerous man-made fibers, and to understand what is meant by terms such as denier and denier per filament (dpf). PROPERTIES Denier Denier is a property that varies depending on the fiber type. It is defined as the weight in grams of 9,000 meters of fiber. The current standard of denier is 0.05 grams per 450 meters. Yarn is usually made up of numerous filaments. The denier of the yarn divided by its number of filaments is the denier per filament (dpf). Thus, denier per filament is a method of expressing the diameter of a fiber. Obviously, the smaller the denier per filament, the more filaments there are in the yarn. If a fairly closed, tight web is desired, then lower dpf fibers (1.5 or 3.0) are preferred. On the other hand, if high porosity is desired in the web, a larger dpf fiber - perhaps 6.0 or 12.0 - should be chosen. Here are the formulas for converting denier into microns, mils, or decitex: Diameter in microns = 11.89 x (denier / density in grams per milliliter)½ Diameter in mils = diameter in microns x .03937 Decitex = denier x 1.1 The following chart may be helpful. Our stock fibers are listed along with their density and the diameter in denier, micron, mils, and decitex for each: Diameter Generic Type

  • Analysis of the Polyester Clothing Value Chain to Identify Key Intervention Points for Sustainability Cristina Palacios‑Mateo* , Yvonne Van Der Meer and Gunnar Seide
    Palacios‑Mateo et al. Environ Sci Eur (2021) 33:2 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12302‑020‑00447‑x REVIEW Open Access Analysis of the polyester clothing value chain to identify key intervention points for sustainability Cristina Palacios‑Mateo* , Yvonne van der Meer and Gunnar Seide Abstract Clothing is one of the primary human needs, and the demand is met by the global production of thousands of tons of textile fbers, fabrics and garments every day. Polyester clothing manufactured from oil‑based polyethylene tereph‑ thalate (PET) is the market leader. Conventional PET creates pollution along its entire value chain—during the produc‑ tion, use and end‑of‑life phases—and also contributes to the unsustainable depletion of resources. The consumption of PET garments thus compromises the quality of land, water and air, destroys ecosystems, and endangers human health. In this article, we discuss the diferent stages of the value chain for polyester clothing from the perspective of sustainability, describing current environmental challenges such as pollution from textile factory wastewater, and microfbers released from clothing during the laundry cycle. We also consider potential solutions such as enhanced reuse and recycling. Finally, we propose a series of recommendations that should be applied to polyester clothing at all stages along the value chain, ofering the potential for meaningful and efective change to improve the environ‑ mental sustainability of polyester textiles on a global scale. Keywords: PET, Textiles, Value chain, Environmental sustainability, Microfbers, Pollution, Recycling, Life cycle Introduction with 2019 estimates in Germany suggesting an average Te global volume of fber production for textile manu- lifetime of only 4.4 years [5].

  • DID YOU KNOW? PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) Is Actually Polyester. When PET Is Used for Bottles, Containers and Other
    355 Lexington Ave., Suite 1500 ▪ New York, NY 10017 ▪ www.PETresin.org DID YOU KNOW? Little-Known Facts about PET Plastic . PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is actually polyester. When PET is used for bottles, containers and other applications, it is called PET or PET resin. When PET is used as a fiber, it is typically called polyester. The PET bottle was invented by Nathaniel C. Wyeth, a DuPont engineer and brother of American painter Andrew Wyeth. The patent was issued to Wyeth in 1973 and assigned to DuPont. According to the EPA, recycling one pound of PET bottles (that’s about 10 two-liter soda bottles) saves approximately 26,000 BTUs of energy. PET bottles and the sun are helping millions of people in developing countries obtain potable water. Using a system called SODIS (solar water disinfection), inhabitants set water-filled PET bottles in the sun for several hours or days – depending on how much sunlight is available – as a simple but effective means of destroying disease-causing bacteria and gaining safe drinking water. More than 1.5 billion pounds of used PET bottles and containers are collected in the U.S. each year for recycling. PET is the most recycled plastic in the U.S. and the world. A single-serve PET bottle (0.5 liter) is strong enough to hold 50 times its weight in water. Chemists keep finding new ways to make PET lighter without losing any strength. A 2-liter PET bottle that weighed 68 grams in 1980 now weighs as little as 42 grams. The average weight of single-serve 0.5 liter PET water bottle is now 9.9 grams, nearly half of what it weighed in 2000.

  • Handle and Comfort Characteristics of Cotton Core Spun Lycra and Polyester/ Lycra Fabrics for Application As Blouse Nirmala Varghese and G
    Volume 8, Issue 4, Spring2014 Handle and Comfort Characteristics of Cotton Core Spun Lycra and Polyester/ Lycra Fabrics for Application as Blouse Nirmala Varghese and G. Thilagavathi Department of Apparel & Fashion Technology PSG College of Technology Tamil Nadu, India ABSTRACT Stretchable plain woven fabrics are developed with 60s cotton core spun Lycra and polyester Lycra twisted yarn (91D) in weft with cotton, silk and polyester in warp. The influence of fabric specifications on thermal comfort, low stress mechanical properties, primary and total hand value is analyzed. The results indicated that cotton core spun Lycra woven with polyester warp provided higher value of thermal conductivity, air permeability and water vapor permeability. The woven stretch fabrics produced with polyester warp, cotton core spun Lycra and polyester Lycra in weft has excellent aesthetic and drape properties. These fabrics have higher tensile resilience, tensile strain, lower shear rigidity, superior primary hand and a higher total hand value of 4.08 and 3.93 respectively and are best suitable for women’s blouse. Keywords: Cotton core spun Lycra, polyester/Lycra, woven stretch, fabric handle, sari blouse Introduction Lycra and polyester/lycra twisted yarn. Several studies have been carried out Stretch is often the most important investigating the physical properties of core property of textiles that contribute to wearer spun yarn, cotton/lycra and properties of the comfort. The stretch yarn and fabrics are fabrics containing different rates of spandex widely used and preferred by the people in yarns. Core spun cotton/spandex shows high the last few years all over the world because resiliency property than 100% cotton yarns, of their stretch ability and shape retention due to its soft and rubbery isocyanate properties.

  • A Study of Anti-Odor and UV-Protection Behavior on Silk and Its Polyester / Lyocell Mixed Fabric
    Volume 9, Issue 2, Spring2015 A Study of Anti-odor and UV-protection Behavior on Silk and its Polyester / Lyocell Mixed Fabric J. Jeyakodi Moses1, A. Mariappan2, and K. Vellingiri3 1,2Department of Applied Science, PSG College of Technology 3Department of Fashion Technology, PSG College of Technology India [email protected] ABSTRACT Silk and lyocell are natural protein and cellulose polymeric materials. They are important in the fields of textile, apparel and garment. Polyester (PET) is one of the synthetic textiles with very good resistance towards chemical and microbial attacks. In this study it is decided to mix silk with polyester and lyocell. The fabric is then dyed with both natural dyes (kum, indigo, bar berry) and synthetic dyes (reactive dye (H), reactive dye (M) and Sulphur dye). This mixed fabric is compared with 100% silk for the k/s value, fastness properties, drapeability, thermal resistance, anti-odor and uv-protection behaviors. The silk mixed fabric gives very good results compared with the 100% silk fabric. Keywords: Silk, lyocell, k/s value, anti-odor, uv-protection Introduction from silkworm have two major protein The natural silk fiber protein is constituents. Core is made of fibroin protein synthesized by silk gland cells and stored which is surrounded by outer sericin protein4. in the lumen of the silk glands.
