Devan’s R-vital NTL with high durability

Devan, part of Pulcra Chemicals, has announced its R-Vital NTL technology.

R-Vital NTL enables textile manufacturers to boost textiles with a versatile range of micro-encapsulated active ingredients. This functional finish provides added value for textiles and allows manufacturers to create products that differentiate them from competitors. Furthermore, the bio-based and biodegradable well-being technology achieves a durability of 50 washes.

The main concept behind micro-encapsulation is that active ingredients, present on textiles, are gradually released on the skin. When using the textiles or while wearing the clothing, the microcapsules burst by friction and release their assets. Since not all capsules break at the same time, a continuous and gradual release of the actives is obtained.

The natural range comprises five distinct products, each with specific attributes:

Devan launches new allergen control technology at Heimtextil

Belgian textile innovator Devan Chemicals will launch Purissimo® NTL, a biobased and readily biodegradable allergen control technology, at the upcoming Heimtextil trade show in Frankfurt (January 10-13, 2023). It is based on probiotic encapsulation technology and can be applied to textiles during the finishing stage of the textile manufacturing process. Purissimo® NTL cleans up pet dander, pollen and house dust mite allergens in textiles throughout the home.

Purissimo® NTL is based on Devan’s already well-established probiotics, incorporated into a new microcapsule shell. The shell is based on a natural crosslinked biobased polymer, which results in microcapsules that are up to 97% biobased and readily biodegradable (OECD 301B).

Firstly, dormant probiotic bacteria (spores) are encapsulated. The microcapsule product is then integrated into textiles. Friction opens the capsules and releases the spores. The spores absorb humidity, self-activate and start to multiply. The probiotic bacteria start to consume the allergens that cause allergic reactions and asthma. Due to lower allergen concentration, individuals with respiratory allergies such as house dust mite matter, pet allergens and pollen allergens will have milder to no symptoms and hence a better well-being feeling.

Purissimo® NTL can be used on a wide range of textiles such as mattresses, pillows, bedcovers, blankets but also upholstered furniture, carpets, curtains and public transportation and pet items, such as bedding. It is Oeko-tex® compliant, has a long-lasting effect and a wash durability up to 30 washes is achievable.

The Devan bio-based thermoregulation range, like Tones of Cool Bio which is already several years on the market, is having a positive effect on carbon footprint. Devan is now expanding its cooling range with a specific foam-solution. In the Home Textile industry new (bio)foam types are introduced the last 1,5 years to comply with the EU GreenDeal and circularity / recycling requirements. A good enough reason for Devan to develop a foam-specific cooling system. After all, research shows that our bedroom interiors get warmer every year, partly due to better insulation but also due to global warming. On top of that Devan thermoregulation solutions can save Energy and Water during application: low curing solutions are available next to cooling products to that can be applied, using less water.

DEVAN’s natural allergen control technology effective against pollen as well

With the pollen season starting, new independent test results by the German external laboratory BMA-Labor have shown Purissimo’s™ effectiveness against pollen, making it an all-in-one solution for reducing allergens.

Devan’s allergen control technology, known as Purissimo™, has been found effective against allergens from pollen. The technology had already been proven to significantly reduce the amount of allergens from house dust mites and pets (cats & dogs).

“Allergens are small protein molecules, which can cause allergic reactions and asthma. All allergy sufferers are different when it comes to their sensitivity to allergens”, says Sofie Depluverez, PhD researcher at Devan. “However, few people are only allergic to a single allergen – and the effects of multiple allergens can add up. The key to reducing and even eliminating symptoms is to reduce your exposure to the allergens themselves.”

The key to reducing and even eliminating symptoms is to reduce your exposure to the allergens themselves.”

Allergy threshold
When people move into a house or bring in a new dog, the number of allergens starts to rise. In the beginning there are little to none, so the allergy threshold causing symptoms is far from being reached. Nobody is suffering any reaction at this stage.

“As time goes by, the various allergens start to build up inside the house, certainly when ventilation is limited”, Depluverez continues. “As the allergen concentration increases (especially in combination with seasonal allergens such as pollen), the allergy threshold may be reached if no allergen reduction measures are in place.”

Purissimo™
Purissimo™ is a natural allergen control technology that significantly reduces allergens from pet dander, dust mites and pollen in textiles throughout the home. The technology is based on encapsulated probiotics, which are naturally occurring microorganisms similar in kind to those you can find in probiotic yogurt, tempeh, kombucha.

Inactive probiotics (spores) are encapsulated and integrated onto the textiles. Friction opens the microcapsules and releases the spores. The spores absorb humidity and self-activate. They are transformed into probiotic bacteria that start to consume the allergens.

“As the probiotics consume the allergens, exposure is gradually reduced to below threshold levels”, Depluverez adds. “Therefore, individuals with respiratory allergies will be exposed to fewer ‘attacks’ and perceive a better well-being.”

Anker, Devan and Shark Solutions develop flame retardant aviation carpet

Anker, Devan and Shark Solutions teamed up to create the world’s first flame retardant aviation carpet using a recycled binder. Inspired by the knowledge and the needs of the aviation market, Anker motivated to achieve this new goal together. The PVB binder reuses laminated glass, from windshields and architectural/building glass, that otherwise would go to landfill.

German carpet manufacturer Anker is the first company to offer flame retardant carpets for aviation that are made with a recycled binder. In the search for a more sustainable binder, Anker discovered the PVB from Shark Solutions, a Danish cleantech company focused on giving a new life to post-consumer PVB. Properties of the aviation carpet with PVB as binder are the same as those of traditional non-sustainable carpets. The market has been looking for this type of solutions for a long time and market introduction has already started. Anker will introduce well known and special developed styles of aviation carpets with PVB and plan to take out traditional non-sustainable aviation carpets stepwise as soon as possible.

Shark’s PVB reuses laminated glass, from windshields and architectural/building glass, that otherwise would go to landfill. The non-toxic binder (no chlorine or phthalates) is fully recyclable and thus lives up to the future standards of the industry.

Textile innovator Devan Chemicals, known for its tailor-made flame retardant solutions, was called in to develop the flame retardant back coating, which is compliant with the Airbus and Boeing safety standards. “Based on many years of experience and competences in customer related developments, improving recycling rates is getting more and more important”, says Dirk Vanpachtenbeke, R&D manager Flame Retardants at Devan. “We are very proud that, together with Anker and Shark Solutions, we can contribute to this rising demand for products that meet the standards of a circular economy solution.”

In other news, Anker and Devan are already working on a new project, which includes Devan’s antimicrobial/viral-reducing technology. Recently, Devan published test results on the activity of their technology (BI-OME®) against SARS-CoV-2 and other viruses. According to independent testing, BI-OME is proven to achieve 99% and higher virus reduction, including of SARS-COV-2, on samples before washing and retains 98.5% even after 25 wash cycles. This technology has been recognized with the 2020 European Technology Innovation Leadership Award by Frost & Sullivan.

Devan lauded by Frost & Sullivan

Belgian textile innovator Devan Chemicals was lauded by Frost & Sullivan for its antimicrobial technology with proven quaternized silane chemistry, known under its trade name as BI-OME®.

RONSE, BELGIUM – The non-leaching attributes of the technology coupled with its ability to reduce microbial mutation make it a potential candidate for textiles where durability and safe human contact are highly valued.

Belgian textile innovator Devan Chemicals was lauded by Frost & Sullivan for its antimicrobial technology with proven quaternized silane chemistry, known under its trade name as BI-OME®.

RONSE, BELGIUM – The non-leaching attributes of the technology coupled with its ability to reduce microbial mutation make it a potential candidate for textiles where durability and safe human contact are highly valued.

Based on its recent analysis of the European antimicrobial technology for the textile market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes the Belgium-headquartered Devan Chemicals NV (Devan) with the 2020 European Technology Innovation Leadership Award. Devan’s highly relevant antimicrobial technology addresses issues concerning the contamination of PPE and textiles, including the spread of drug-resistant bacteria, viral transmissions, and hospital-acquired infections (HAIs). Its quat-silane technology, due to its non-migrating behaviour, physically punctures the microorganism cell to destroy it without interfering with cell DNA. Notably, it eliminates the adverse effects of leaching antimicrobials while providing high efficiency in the range of 99.9 percent to 99.99 percent, even after multiple washes.

"By providing non-migrating antimicrobial technology for the textile industry, Devan plugs the safety and performance gaps inherent in current inorganic and organic antimicrobial agents. Its antimicrobial technology, unlike silver- or triclosan-based technology, comprises non-migrating monomers and prepolymers such as organo-functional silane," said Monami Dey, Industry Manager, Frost & Sullivan. "The organo-silane polymers are covalently bonded and polymerized to the textile surface as a coating via padding, exhaust, and spraying techniques. The coating forms a non-leaching reactive surface and destroys the microbes on contact, without releasing harmful components into the environment."

Devan CEO Sven Ghyselinck is very happy with the award: “The best practice award is a nice recognition of the hard work we did in the last 6 months to evaluate the performance against viral activity. It’s great to see our efforts didn’t go unnoticed.”

Earlier this month Devan published new test results confirming the high performance virus-reducing capabilities of its BI-OME fabric coating technology on both unwashed and intensely washed fabrics. The Belgian company has worked closely with a series of international third party laboratories to test different fabric substrates against a wide range of enveloped viruses. Before washing, samples treated with Devan BI-OME score very good to excellent (99% and higher according to ISO 18184) results on virus reduction. Different substrates, like polyester, cotton and polycottons, were exposed to enveloped viruses like SARS-COV-2 (known to cause COVID-19), Feline Corona, Vaccinia (the EU standard for enveloped viruses) and Porcine Respiratory viruses. After 30minutes, BI-OME already reduced 99.96% of the activity of SARS-COV-2.

After washing, a decrease in virus reduction performance of coating technologies is normal and expected. However, BI-OME is confirmed to deliver only a minimal reduction, retaining up to 98.5% virus reduction even when the fabric is washed 25 times.

"Devan is working towards sustainability and green chemistry. For instance, its technology does not contain any harmful solvents such as formaldehyde or polychlorinated phenols and fulfills the regulatory obligations of the EU BPR," noted Dey. "Its commitment to promoting sustainability in textile finishes with a strong focus on GMO-free, kosher, as well as halal certifications, and recyclability has given the company an edge in launching new products at an accelerated pace to match customers’ most pressing concerns and demands."

One of those innovations is BI-OME NTL (natural), a natural, bio-based antimicrobial solution that guarantees an optimal freshness and hygiene for textiles. The active ingredient is the well-known Linseed oil, obtained from the dried, ripened seeds of the flax plant. The active ingredients in BI-OME NTL are GMO free, Halal, Kosher and recyclable.

Natürlich antimikrobiell
Der verstärkte Einsatz nachhaltigerer Produkte hat auch alternative Lösungen zur Beseitigung störender Gerüche und zur Reduzierung der Allergene von Staubmilben mit sich gebracht. Viele Pflanzen und Blumen produzieren antimikrobielle Chemikalien bei Gefahren, wie Bakterien, Pilzen und Schimmel. In Lebensmitteln und Kosmetika werden immer mehr natürliche antimikrobielle Stoffe als Konservierungsmittel eingesetzt. Landwirtschaft und Großküchen nutzen schon seit vielen Jahren pflanzliche, leicht abbaubare und geringtoxische Schädlingsbekämpfungsmittel. Diese natürlichen, bioziden Inhaltsstoffe inspirierten Devan zur Entwicklung einer neuen Produkttechnologie gegen Geruchsbildung und Staubmilben. BI-OME Natural ist eine natürliche, biobasierte antimikrobielle Lösung, um die optimale Frische und Hygiene von Textilien sicherzustellen. Ihre aktiven Inhaltsstoffe sind das bekannte Leinöl aus den getrockneten, gereiften Samen der Flachspflanze und Chrysanthemum aus den Samen von Margeritenblumen. Die aktiven Inhaltsstoffe in BI-OME Natural sind organisch, GMO-frei, biologisch abbaubar und recycelbar. BI-OME Natural wird auf der Heimtextil in den Kollektionen von Standard Fiber präsentiert.

Biobasierte PCM
Tones of Cool Bio ist eine patentierte Kühltechnologie zur Ableitung überschüssiger Körperwärme aus Textilien, um auf diese Weise auch unmittelbar die Körpertemperatur zu reduzieren. Die in Tones of Cool Bio verwendeten PCM werden aus nachhaltigen, natürlichen Quellen gewonnen.
Die PCM haben –abhängig von der Temperatur – die Form eines kristallinen Wachses oder einer öligen Flüssigkeit und sind rein pflanzlicher Natur. Darüber hinaus sind sie weniger leicht entflammbar als PCM auf Paraffinbasis. Die biologische Basis der Technologie ist nach geltenden DIN-Kriterien zertifiziert.
Kollektionen mit Tones of Cool Bio werden auf der Heimtextil von Standard Fiber, Tisseray und Comfy Quilts gezeigt. Die Technologie ist zunächst nur für Bettwaren lieferbar.

DEVAN: FIRST R-VITAL® CBD-INFUSED TEXTILES HIT THE MARKET

With the recent launch of Acabada ProActiveWear, the first CBD-infused textiles are officially hitting the market. The fabric treatment behind the CBD-infused textiles was developed by Devan Chemicals, a Belgian company specialized in functional finishes for the worldwide textile markets.

Devan launched its CBD (Cannabidiol) fabric treatment at Heimtextil 2019 in Frankfurt as part of their R-Vital® range of microencapsulated active ingredients. The range contains active substances like Aloe Vera, Q10, Vitamin E, … with CBD being its latest addition. Now, only 8 months later, the first CBD-infused products are hitting the market.

High-quality organic CBD
Born in 2019, Acabada ProActiveWear is the world's first and only CBD-infused activewear brand, committed to creating innovative, luxury apparel for the proactive woman. Conceptualized in New York and produced in Portugal, Acabada infuses luxury fabric with the highest quality organic CBD, to ensure that women will look, feel and perform at their best. Thanks to the close and intense cooperation between Acabada, Devan and the Portuguese production partner, goods were in store in less than five months starting from initial contact.

With over 30 years in the apparel industry, Acabada CEO and Co-Founder Seth Baum recognized the positive effects of CBD on pain and inflammation and the fact that top athletes embrace the active ingredient as a part of their training and recovery ritual. Baum assembled a team of experienced fashion designers, including Co-Founder and CCO Katrina Petrillo, and together they created a high fashion yet innovative product that is primed to disrupt the market. "While typical CBD products such as tinctures and edibles are growing exponentially in popularity, we began to envision a product that addressed health and wellness through a different lens. By physically infusing CBD into our garments, our product live at the intersection of fashion, fitness, and wellness," says Baum. With Acabada ProActiveWear, recovery starts from the moment you get dressed by helping to fight soreness and promote healing before the first squat, lunge or crunch.

Each garment from Acabada ProActiveWear contains up to 25 grams of zero-THC, lab-certified, 99.9% pure CBD, which will allow the benefits to last through 40 high-intensity wear and wash cycles. As customers approach 40 wears and washes, they can choose to sustainably recycle their CBD-infused garments through Acabada's upcycling program, where the recycled, synthetic fabrics will be repurposed where needed as commercial materials.

Devan führt zwei neue nachhaltige Technologien ein

Devan Chemicals führt auf der Techtextil in Frankfurt (14. bis 17. Mai) zwei neue Technologien ein: Bio-flam, ein biobasiertes Flammschutzmittel, und Odour Breakdown, eine waschfeste, nicht-biozide Lösung gegen Geruchsbildung.

Alle zwei Jahre stellt Devan Chemicals traditionell auf der Techtextil aus, der internationalen Leitmesse für technische Textilien und Vliesstoffe. Die neuen Devan-Technologien kommen den aktuellen Bestrebungen von Produktentwicklern und Portfoliodesignern nach erhöhter Nachhaltigkeit und Transparenz entgegen.

Bio-flam
Einige Daten und Fakten: Jeden Tag kommt es in der EU zu mindestens 5.000 Bränden. Jedes Jahr müssen rund 70.000 Menschen mit brandbedingten Verletzungen stationär behandelt werden. Brände verursachen zudem eine Umweltverschmutzung.

Bio-flam
Einige Daten und Fakten: Jeden Tag kommt es in der EU zu mindestens 5.000 Bränden. Jedes Jahr müssen rund 70.000 Menschen mit brandbedingten Verletzungen stationär behandelt werden. Brände verursachen zudem eine Umweltverschmutzung.

Die nachhaltige Flammschutzausrüstung von Produkten ist daher eine wirtschaftliche, umwelt- und lebenserhaltende Notwendigkeit. Nehmen wir zum Beispiel Matratzen: Tests haben gezeigt, dass nicht-flammgeschützte Produkte im Brandfall eine Fluchtzeit von weniger als fünf Minuten lassen. Das ist leider zu wenig bis zum Eintreffen der Feuerwehr. Um die Fluchtzeit zu verlängern, das Risiko zu reduzieren und Leben zu retten, müssen Produkte folglich flammwidrig sein.

Die Herausforderung besteht darin, Flammschutzeigenschaften auf möglichst natürliche Weise zu erreichen, um die richtige Balance zwischen der Sicherheit für Menschen und dem Wohl des Planeten zu finden.
Unternehmen können dies bewerkstelligen, indem sie nicht-erneuerbare Rohstoffe durch biobasierte Flammschutzausrüstungen ersetzen, die aus erneuerbaren Quellen gewonnen werden und keine Halogene oder Schwermetalle enthalten, wie in der EN 16785-1:2015 beschrieben.

Biobasierte Flammschutzmittel wie Bio-flam werden aus erneuerbaren, pflanzlichen Stoffen hergestellt und stehen auch dem biologischen Abbau der damit ausgerüsteten Produkte nicht im Weg. Die aktiven Inhaltsstoffe sind zu 100 Prozent halogen- und schwermetallfrei.

Dies ist eine willkommene Innovation für die Bettwarenindustrie, denn um das Deponieaufkommen zu reduzieren, verlangt die Europäische Kommission, dass alle Matratzen ab 2030 recycelbar sind. Bio-flam P307 ist das erste im Markt eingeführte Produkt der neuen BIO-FR-Familie von Devan. Es ist biologisch abbaubar und wurde speziell für den Einsatz in reiner Baumwolle oder in Baumwolle/Viskose-Mischgeweben entwickelt, um auf jeden Fall eine umweltverträgliche und sichere Lösung für Mensch und Planet zu gewährleisten. Bio-flam P 307 eignen sich für Matratzendrell im Einklang mit EN 597 1&2. Die Forscher bei Devan arbeiten aktiv an der Entwicklung weiterer biobasierter Produkte für andere Marktsegmente und gemäß anderer Brandschutznormen.

Recycling of Coated and Painted Textile and Plastic Materials

The EU-funded Project, in which Devan Chemicals is a key partner, held a kick off meeting end of February 2019 at the EU Commission in Brussels, Belgium. The project consortium, led by Belgian R&D centre CENTEXBEL, consists of 17 European partners from across the value chain including design, manufacturing, NGOs, and research and innovation.

The focus of the consortium is on coated and painted textiles and plastic materials which are currently not recyclable. Ambitious plastic recycling targets of 50% have been set by the European Plastics Industry, and to meet these targets, smart solutions to enable the circular use of textile and plastic parts with multi-layer coatings must be considered.

DECOAT has therefore been established to investigate triggerable smart polymer material systems and appropriate recycling processes. The solutions will be based on smart additives (like microcapsules or microwave triggered additives) that will enable the efficient of coatings and other finishes, activated by a specific trigger (heat, humidity, microwave, chemical) to permit recycling.

The solutions will be based on smart additives (like microcapsules or microwave triggered additives) that will enable the efficient of coatings and other finishes, activated by a specific trigger (heat, humidity, microwave, chemical) to permit recycling.        

Devan’s specific role is in the development of microcapsules that will release its active core on application of a certain trigger (e.g. heat) at the end of life of the article. This active core material may be something that, for example, will promote the detachment of different coating layers (by separating them), opening the possibility for recyclability/re-use of the base materials. Different active core ingredients will be evaluated, and Devan will develop processes for each type of core ingredient and for each type of coating layer/matrix.

The bold aim of the four-year project is to decrease landfill by 75% of coated articles that are presently difficult to recycle, such as clothing, electronic goods and automotive components. A reduction in the carbon footprint by at least 30% for the considered products is aimed for. By enabling the recycling of such materials, DECOAT is expected to generate in the medium term a new market valued at over 150 million Euros in Europe.

Dieses Jahr fiel die Wahl mit Moov&Cool® und R-Vital™ auf zwei Funktionsveredelungen von Devan Chemicals, den Innovator im Bereich Textilveredelung. R-Vital™ wurde mit dem ‚100% Jury Like‘ Siegel ausgezeichnet, das die einstimmige Wahl der Jury zum Ausdruck bringt und nur einer Handvoll der 1.400 Bewerbungen verliehen wird.

R-Vital™ – ‚100% Jury Like‘
R-Vital™ ist eine Reihe mikrogekapselter Wirkstoffe für Textilien mit erhöhten antioxidativen Eigenschaften. Die an der Faser haftenden Mikrokapseln geben bei Reibung Antioxidantien an den Körper ab. Das mit dem ‚100% Jury Like‘ Siegel ausgezeichnete Muster wurde mit einer ausgesuchten Mischung aus Ubiquinol (Q10), Seetang und Thymianöl behandelt, die eine schnellere Erholung nach sportlichen Leistungen bewirkt. Da R-Vital™ sich auch für den Einsatz in anderen Marktsegmenten eignet, wie Bettwäsche, ermöglicht Devan seinen Kunden die Formulierung eigener Mischungen, um wahrhaft einzigartige Produkte und Eigenschaften zu kreieren.
Marleen Van der Auwera leitet die Geschäftseinheit Health & Wellness und freut sich über die erhöhte Aufmerksamkeit für R-Vital™: „Als wir die Technologie vor etwa einem Jahr einführten, stellten wir fest, dass einige Interessenten Mühe hatten, das Konzept zu verstehen – so revolutionär erschien es ihnen. Die aktuelle Auszeichnung aber zeigt, dass immer mehr Menschen das Potenzial von R-Vital™ erkennen.“

Moov&Cool®
Moov&Cool® ist eine patentierte Polymertechnologie, deren dauerhafte Wärmeaufnahmekapazität in Kombination mit einem außergewöhnlichen, ausgewogenen Feuchtetransfersystem für ein angenehm kühles Empfinden sorgt. Die damit behandelten Textilien helfen Profisportlern, ihre Leistungsfähigkeit zu steigern, indem sie die Körperkerntemperatur senken. Die Technologie ist außerdem darauf ausgerichtet, auch den Komfort bei körperlichen Aktivitäten im Breitensport zu erhöhen.
Moov&Cool® wurde bereits auf der Performance Days im April vorgestellt und wird im Detail während der kommenden Performance Days am 28. und 29. November 2018 in München präsentiert.
