  • Choosing the Proper Short Cut Fiber for Your Nonwoven Web

    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

    Silk, Linen, Leather, Denim, Grass, Cotton, Felt

    Silk, linen, leather, denim, grass, cotton, felt. Natural materials keep the integrity of their shape yet hold an impression of the figure that has worn them. Fit-out for Olivia Spencer Bower speaks to the fabrics and forms that we live in. An assortment of garment patterns, building plans and the lifestyles of art heroines provide templates or underlying structures for Emma Fitts’ installation at the Ilam School of Fine Arts gallery. Adopting the layout of a modernist home and featuring a series of fabric hangings and clothing cutouts, Fitts’ work acutely relates to our situated knowledge, the proportions of the body and our experience of space, while also implying much less measurable qualities. Alternative histories that reveal the social relationships and values of a bygone era are incorporated to form a homage of sorts, though these references are evoked to shed light on the present–what it means to live and make work as an artist today. The gallery is physically divided by four large textile works, hung from the ceiling according to the walls shown in architectural plans for 15A Leinster Avenue, Christchurch–the former home of artist Olivia Spencer Bower (1905- 82). These soft walls enable visitors to occupy the space as though wandering through her actual house: living room, kitchen, sunroom, bedroom and studio. Designed in 1969 by architects Cowey and McGregor in the Christchurch style of neo-brutalism, the house was commissioned to accommodate the needs of a female artist living alone. There is an emphasis on form developed in relation to function and it is both refined and compact, manifesting these ideals.

In the recent past, many researchers have highlighted the development of in-house filaments for fused filament fabrication (FFF), which can extend the corresponding field of application. Due to the limited mechanical properties and deficient functionality of printed polymer parts, there is a need to develop printable polymer composites that exhibit high performance. This study analyses the actual mechanical characteristics of parts fabricated with a low-cost printer from a carbon fibre-reinforced nylon filament. The results show that the obtained values differ considerably from the values presented in the datasheets of various filament suppliers. Moreover, the hardness and tensile strength are influenced by the building direction, the infill percentage, and the thermal stresses, whereas the resilience is affected only by the building direction. Furthermore, the relationship between the mechanical properties and the filling factor is not linear.

    Care Labelling Guide This chart is for guidance only and should be read in conjunction with the ACCC Care labelling for Clothing Guide which specifies the mandatory standards for care labelling based on the Australian/New Zealand Standard (AS/NZS) 1957:1998, Textiles—Care labelling with variations and additions made by Consumer Protection Notice No. 25 of 2010. In Australia, care instructions must be permanently attached to articles, be written in English, and be appropriate for the care of the article. Additional symbols may be used to clarify the instructions but symbols alone are not sufficient. As a minimum, laundering instructions include (in order) four symbols: washing, bleaching, drying, and ironing. Drycleaning instructions include one symbol. Professional Wet Cleaning symbols are included for information only as they are not currently recognised in Australia. Washing The washtub symbol tells you how the garment should be washed. The number inside the washtub is the maximum wash temperature. A bar underneath the washtub indicates that the garment should have mild treatment or washed using the Permanent Press setting. Two lines underneath the washtub indicate gentle or delicate treatment. Normal Permanent Press Delicate / Gentle Hand Wash 95°c 70°c 60°c 50°c 40°c 30°c Do Not Wring Do Not Wash Bleaching The triangle symbol gives information about whether it is safe to bleach the garment.

    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].

All rights reserved; America’s Cotton Producers and Importers. INTRODUCTION The desire of adding color and design to textile materials is almost as old as mankind. Early civilizations used color and design to distinguish themselves and to set themselves apart from others. Textile printing is the most important and versatile of the techniques used to add design, color, and specialty to textile fabrics. It can be thought of as the coloring technique that combines art, engineering, and dyeing technology to produce textile product images that had previously only existed in the imagination of the textile designer. Textile printing can realistically be considered localized dyeing. In ancient times, man sought these designs and images mainly for clothing or apparel, but in today’s marketplace, textile printing is important for upholstery, domestics (sheets, towels, draperies), floor coverings, and numerous other uses. The exact origin of textile printing is difficult to determine. However, a number of early civilizations developed various techniques for imparting color and design to textile garments. Batik is a modern art form for developing unique dyed patterns on textile fabrics very similar to textile printing. Batik is characterized by unique patterns and color combinations as well as the appearance of fracture lines due to the cracking of the wax during the dyeing process. Batik is derived from the Japanese term, “Ambatik,” which means “dabbing,” “writing,” or “drawing.” In Egypt, records from 23-79 AD describe a hot wax technique similar to batik.

SHEEP RBC ROSETTING METHODS Researchers have been using nylon wool fiber procedures to separate T-cell and Wong and Mittal (1981)9 did extensive research comparing the methods of Nylon B-cell lymphocytes for more than 20 years. In the early 1970’s M. H. Julius et al Wool Fiber separation and the commonly- used and well-studied sheep RBC (1973),1 Eisen et al (1972),2 and Greaves & Brain (1974)3 described specific (SRBC) rosetting.10,11 Wong and Mittal were interested in isolating B-cells for conditions for the use of Nylon Wool Fiber in columns or plastic straws. These serologic typing of HLA-DR antigen. protocols resulted in yields of 50-90% T-cell recovery and 10-100 fold B-cell depletion. Wong and Mittal concluded that “Due to its simplicity and reliability, nylon wool adherence may be preferred over the SRBC rosette method for the routine pheno- These early researchers found it necessary to scrub or wash their Nylon Wool Fiber typing of B-cells.” Their findings are illustrated in Table 1.

    Analysis of Artificial Leather with Textile Fabric on the Backside

    Volume 6, Issue 2, Fall2009 ANALYSIS OF ARTIFICIAL LEATHER WITH TEXTILE FABRIC ON THE BACKSIDE Darko Ujević, Stana Kovačević, *Larry C. Wadsworth, Ivana Schwarz, and Blaženka Brlobašić Šajatović University of Zagreb, Faculty of Textile Technology, Zagreb, Croatia *The University of Tennessee, Department of Materials Science and Engineering ABSTRACT The fundamental characteristics of a textile fabric intended for the vehicle interior is presented. Chemical and physical-mechanical properties of artificial leather with bonded textile fabric on the back side are analyzed. The most important parameters for leather durability are: breaking force and elongation-at-break, and these properties will be tested in different circular directions. Likewise, chemical properties of artificial leather and basic construction parameters of the textile fabric are investigated. When using artificial leather, physical-mechanical properties of artificial leather as well as the quality of the seams are most important. In addition to the results obtained, physical-mechanical properties and aesthetic evaluation of the joined places will be compared.
