    16 Textiles in defence* Richard A Scott Defence Clothing and Textiles Agency, Science and Technology Division, Flagstaff Road, Colchester, Essex CO2 7SS, UK 16.1 Introduction To be prepared for War is one of the most effectual means of preserving Peace (George Washington, 1790)1 Defence forces on land, sea, or air throughout the world are heavily reliant on tech- nical textiles of all types – whether woven, knitted, nonwoven, coated, laminated, or other composite forms. Technical textiles offer invaluable properties for military land forces in particular, who are required to move, live, survive and fight in hostile environments. They have to carry or wear all the necessities for comfort and sur- vival and thus need the most lightweight, compact, durable, and high performance personal clothing and equipment. The life-critical requirements for protecting indi- viduals from both environmental and battlefield threats have ensured that the major nations of the world expend significant resources in developing and providing the most advanced technical textiles for military use. 16.2 Historical background Military textile science is not new, and one of the earliest documented studies can probably be credited to Count Rumford, or Benjamin Thompson. Rumford was an American army colonel and scientist who issued a paper in 1792 entitled ‘Philo- sophical Transactions’, which reported on the importance of internally trapped air in a range of textile fabrics to the thermal insulation provided by those fabrics.2 He was awarded the Copley Medal for his paper, as the significance of his discovery was recognised immediately. * Copyright MOD (1997) DCTA, Colchester, Essex CO2 7SS 426 Handbook of technical textiles 16.2.1 Pre-Twentieth century Up until the end of the 19th century military land battles were fought at close quar- ters by individual engagements.

  • ALDI Textiles
    ALDI Textiles ALDI Textiles Guideline 2 Aloe Vera. Recognises the demand all on its own. A Aloe vera micro capsules are attached to the textile fibres using a binder. The friction from wearing causes the microcapsules to burst and release the moisturising substance. The advantage of the microcapsules is the fact that the encapsulated substance is only released when the fabric is mechanically stressed. Through the addition of the aloe vera capsules, the garment hydrates and moisturises the skin. Anti-Pilling. Reduces pilling. A Anti-pilling is a special finishing process for reducing the formation of pilling, meaning lint, in predominantly synthetic materials. This is primarily achieved through a mechanical process or heat treatment. ALDI Textiles Guideline 3 Breathable. Keeps you dry and keeps moisture away. B Breathable fabrics are defined as textiles which possess certain physiological properties which above all wick moisture away from the skin. Such materials may also be water-resistant and therefore protect against rain. See also: Cool & Fresh, COOLMAX® ALDI Textiles Guideline 4 Cotton. The all-rounder among textiles. C Cotton is derived from the soft seed hair of the cotton plant. The plant thrives in countries with a sub-tropical climate, such as the USA, Egypt, India, and South Africa, and in terms of volume is one of the most important raw textiles materials in the world. The quality of cotton wool is dependent on its fineness, strength, fibre length and consistency. See also: Wool, virgin wool, organic cotton, Pima cotton PROPERTIES: It is skin-friendly: Due to its softness, it is very pleasant on the skin.

The arrivals increased sharply to around 200,000 bales dragging prices lower. The spot price traded around Rs. 42,800 per candy. The effect was clearly visible on the futures contract. The most active March future which made an intraday high of Rs. 21,300 per bale ended the session lower at Rs. 21080 per bale. We believe profit booking at the futures contract amid expectation of higher supply has pulled the cotton price lower. However, from the global front initially the front month contract traded higher to mark an intraday high of 77+ cents per pound however later during the day the contract corrected to end the session lower at 76.12 cents per pound amid sharp profit booking.

This is honouring a young and motivated team of professionals of this area. Each department taking care of their sector to be at all time ahead of the constant changes of our challenging branch of business.This team needs to be quick and creative and that is exactly what they are and want to represent a new beginning. In a time were stocks are no longer an option, after a year of declining sales of our partners we need to be there always, short lead-times for regular productions, even shorter lead-times for re-orders, so that our clients can avoid stocks but still deliver to their shops/clients the fastest way possible. Also to give our clients the chance to work several smaller collections and that for smaller orders along the year so that the shops can come up with new things repeatedly and gain their clients attention. This is the future and this is the ideology of this team of professionals. To attend to their clients needs quickly, not only be responsible for the making of their production but be there for them along the whole process. We only succeed if our clients succeed; we only survive if our clients survive. Productions in Europe can give us all these possibilities. Quality wise there is no doubt that we can offer an excellent garment quality, due to the high quality fabrics used as well as the very well known carefulness of manufacturing the garments.

Fiz software supports the creative side of fashion from planning and design all the way to 3D virtual sam- pling. With Fiz, virtual sampling becomes a communica- tion tool that not only accurately represents the prod- uct, but digitally bridges the gap between the studio and the factory as well. Faithful reproduction of the original design avoids unnecessary sampling and advo- cates sustainability through digital transformation. “Fiz” is based on the “fizz” of carbonation. It repre- sents energy, excitement, vitality and spirit—just what today’s fashion industry needs. As the name of SHIMA SEIKI’s new design software, Fiz symbolizes inspiration for creativity as it bubbles up like a well-spring and makes your designs sparkle!
