Inc. Request For Designation of New Generic Fiber Name "Polyacrylate" Under The Textile Fiber Products Identification Act To Whom It May Concern: On behalf of our client, Toyobo U.S.A Inc. ("Toyobo"), located at 1540 Broadway, 25th floor, New York, NY 10036, we hereby submit this application requesting the designation of a new generic fiber name and definition pursuant to 16 CFR §JOJ.8. Polyacrylate fiber manufactured by Toyobo is a unique heat-generating fiber with moisture absorption and release characteristics unlike any other product in the marketplace. For the reasons set forth below, we believe that the chemical composition of these polyacrylate fibers is radically different from other fibers identified by one of the generic names already established by the Commission in 16 CFR §303.7. Moreover, the unique chemical composition of polyacrylate results in distinctive physical properties of significance to the general public. Therefore, we respectfully request that the Commission designate the term "polyaccylate" as a new generic fiber name for purposes of the Textile Fiber Products Identification Act ("TFPIA"), 15 USC §§70-7ok.

  • Identification of Fibers in Textiles1
    Designation: D 276 – 00a Standard Test Methods for Identification of Fibers in Textiles1 This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 276; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval. INTRODUCTION Methods D 276 – 62 T, Identification of Fibers in Textiles were discontinued in 1969 because the responsible subcommittee failed to recommend adoption as standard after several years publication as a tentative. The subcommittee action was based on the members’ knowledge that the standard did not include several fiber types introduced to the textile trade after the methods were published, and that the techniques required to identify these fibers were lacking in the text, so that the text had become out of date. Reinstatement as a standard using the previously assigned designation was requested since the listed procedures were reliable and the text was considered to be the best available, though not all-inclusive. Extensive editorial changes were made in various sections in 1972, and the methods were reinstated as D 276 – 72. The methods have been revised completely, emphasizing infrared spectroscopic techniques for identifying man-made fiber types. Methods for determining several physical properties and solubility data useful for confirming infrared spectral identifications have been included. The longitudinal and cross-section photographs of the various fibers have been omitted since they are published elsewhere and the usefulness for identification is limited.

  • Compression Garment Engineering for Health Care Applications
    Compression Garment Engineering for Health Care Applications Dr.P.Kanakaraj Asst prof, Dept. of fashion technology, PSG college of technology, Coimbatore. K.Gopalakrishnan Lecturer (Seiner Grade), Textile Tech., Nachimuthu polytechnic college, Pollachi, India. Abstract The performance of the clothing has to improve the functions and activity of the wearer by engineered new product development. Many of the engineered fabrics are performed in the form of garments, that also next to skin wears. For such concert, stretch fabrics plays important role due to the presence of elastomeric yarn in its structure. The compression garments are stretch wears it can be used for health care and allied applications as in the form of upper body, lower body and whole body garments. These compression garments are imparted pressure between the clothing and wearer skin for various reasons like medical, sports and health care/monitoring intentions. This paper represents the production concepts and applications of such compression wears. 1. Introduction The emergence and important part of the textile arena consists of medical and health care & hygiene sectors. The compression wears are the one plays important role in this field. The compression defined as the pressure applied to the limb by a garment. The swelling of the upper body, the compression garments with many styles available. Such as gloves, gauntlets, arm sleeves, vest and masks for facial swelling. Many factors deciding the selection of garment and level of compression required for the wearer, such as site extent shape distortion and swelling[1]. The textile structure is made from 100 % elastomers or in combination with other textile materials with high elongation and recovery property is called elastic knitted fabric.

Barathea is mainly used for dresses, neckties, trimmings and suits. Barkcloth - Originally, the term referred to a fabric found throughout the South Pacific and is made from the inner bark of certain trees. The bark is beaten into a paper-like fabric, then dyed or otherwise colored. Tapa cloth is one of the best known types of true barkcloth. Barkcloth is a term that also refers to a fabric, often cotton or rayon, with a somewhat crepe-like feel that is designed to resemble true barkcloth. This fabric is used extensively for draperies, slipcovers, and other home furnishings. Batik - Batik describes a special technique of resist dyeing which was first used in Indonesia. Before dyeing the fabric is pile-spread with wax. The waxed areas remain in the original color while the rest of the fabric adopts the dyeing color. To get the typical veined effect to the design the wax is cracked. Today, it is largely produced in an industrial way. Basket Weave - A variation of the plain weave construction, formed by treating two or more warp yarns and/or two or more filling yarns as one unit in the weaving process. Yarns in a basket weave are laid into the woven construction flat, and maintain a parallel relationship.
