Aus der Branche

Der antimikrobielle Schutz von Sanitized® T 99-19 gegen das SARS-CoV-2 Virus wurde durch unabhängige Labore in Frankreich bestätigt (Basis ISO 18184:2019).

Seit vielen Jahren sind Textil- und Kunststoffprodukte mit antimikrobieller Sanitized® Ausrüstung in hygienesensiblen Bereichen im Einsatz. Für Textilien ist Sanitized® T99-19 eine patentierte Technologie, die auf einer Silan-Ammoniumverbindung basiert.

Seine Hygienefunktion wird bei Arbeits- und Schutzbekleidung von Pflegepersonal, Bettwäsche oder Matratzen in Hotels, Pflegeeinrichtungen und Krankenhäusern eingesetzt. Polyesterware für diese Einsatzbereiche kann nun nicht nur antimikrobiell, sondern auch zuverlässig gegen SARS-CoV-2 geschützt werden. Die antivirale Wirksamkeit (99,84 %) des Produktes Sanitized® T99-19 wurde offiziell durch Untersuchungen externer Labore bestätigt.

Auch Tests an Endprodukten, die Textilhersteller ergänzend durchgeführt haben, belegen die Wirksamkeit von Sanitized® T99-19 gegen SARS-CoV-2. Lizenzpartner loben diesen vertrauensbildenden Nutzen auf den Endprodukten aus. SANITIZED Lizenzpartner erhalten hierfür konkrete Unterstützung in Punkto Marketing und bezüglich rechtlicher Aspekte (health claims).

• Fabric finishing and sanforization systems installed in the US and Turkey to enhance productivity

ST. LOUIS - Baldwin Technology Company Inc. has successfully installed six new fabric finishing and sanforizing precision spray systems in the US and Turkey. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the installations were completed in just 60 days, thanks to close collaboration between onsite Baldwin textile team members, local agents and remote support from the company’s product and technology center in Sweden.
For textiles, non-wovens and technical textiles, Baldwin’s precision spray technology processes a wide range of low-viscosity water-based chemicals, such as softeners, anti-microbial agents, water repellents, oil  repellents, flame retardants and more.

These systems enable fabric producers to significantly reduce chemical and water consumption, while speeding up production times and eliminating production steps, including drying and bath changeovers when switching fabric colors. “Our customers are major manufacturers in fabric dying, finishing and remoistening, and we want to provide outstanding service and support—even in times like this,” said Rick Stanford, Business Development Leader at Baldwin and the commercial leader of the US installations. “Not only does our precision spray technology enhance productivity in their process, but there is also zero waste, which goes hand-in-hand with the increased sustainability focus in the textile industry.”

In North Carolina, two new TexCoat G4 precision spray systems are now in production with major international vertical manufacturers of outdoor living, performance fabrics and automotive fabrics. In Georgia, a major vertical manufacturer of workwear and protective fabrics installed a sanfor precision spray system, which has helped the customer obtain deeper penetration of moisture into fabrics treated with durable water repellents. In Turkey, three new TexCoat G4 systems were installed in Çorlu, northwest of Istanbul, for a large producer of knit fabrics, such as T-shirts. “In Turkey, the manufacturer purchased and installed one TexCoat G4 system before COVID-19, and the customer was so pleased with the results that, during the pandemic, three more were purchased,” said Simone Morellini, Sales Manager- EMEAR at Baldwin and the commercial leader of the Turkish installations. “The systems were manufactured and installed during the lockdown, and now, all four systems are up and running, and being used heavily on a daily basis.” “With the success we have seen, we plan to apply the same strategies for upcoming installations, including the next one in Honduras: strong local management and customer coordination, combined with  effective remote support during the installation,” said Stanford.
