Many textile and clothing products
which are used as basic products for promotional and merchandising
purposes have been successfully certified according to OEKO-TEX®
Standard 100. Just think of wellknown brand names such as Hanes
or Fruit of the Loom. At the same time, conventional finishing processes
such as screen, plastisol or flex printing and flocking have the
effect of applying additional substances to the textile surface.
An important OEKO-TEX® certification
requirement says that if an item has been chemically altered or
its material composition changed, the resulting product must be
tested by an OEKO-TEX® member institute in order to ensure it
still conforms to OEKO-TEX® requirements.
In order to offer providers of promotional
items an opportunity to gain first-hand information regarding a
certification of their textile printing processes according to the-OEKO-TEX®
standard, the OEKOTEX® Association will be a firsttime exhibitor
at TecStyle Visions in Stuttgart from 4-6 February 2010, In Hall
1, 1F71, interested visitors can talk directly with the experts
and competent partners of the OEKOTEX ® Certification Centre
as well as the Hohenstein Research Institute.
