HeiQ bringt weltweit erste Dual-Action-Textilkühltechnologie auf den Markt

HeiQ kündigt die Einführung einer neuen Dual-Action-Textilkühltechnologie an, HeiQ Cool. Der weltweit ersten Textiltechnologie, die sowohl eine sofortige Kontaktkühlung als auch eine kontinuierliche Verdunstungskühlung bietet.

Um der Bedeutung der Kontrolle der Körpertemperatur Rechnung zu tragen, bei der sowohl Überhitzung als auch Frösteln problematisch sind, regulieren die Stoffe mit der HeiQ Cool-Technologie die Hauttemperatur dank einer zweifachen Kühlfähigkeit konstant. In einem ersten Schritt sorgt die Absorption von Schmelzenergie  für sofortige Kontaktkühlung noch vor den ersten Anzeichen von Schweiß und verzögert den Wärmestau, gefolgt von einer verdampfenden Energiewirkung, die das Wärmeregulierungssystem der Haut nachahmt, indem sie für eine kontinuierliche Verdunstungskühlung sorgt, solange der Körper heiß und verschwitzt ist. Das Produkt ist für alle Stoffe geeignet und konzentriert sich in der Anfangsphase zunächst auf Heimtextilien, insbesondere Schlafprodukte wie Matratzenbezüge, Kissen und Bettwäsche, da diese für einen guten Schlaf bei den Benutzern sorgen. Es kühlt vor dem ersten Anzeichen von Schweiß, verzögert den Aufbau von Wärme und reguliert kontinuierlich die Temperatur. Die Komponenten fühlen sich sofort kühl an, laden die Oberflächenschicht synergetisch auf und sorgen für eine konstant kühle, trockene und angenehme Körpertemperatur.

USDA-zertifizierte biobasierte Kühltextiltechnologie mit zweifacher Kühlfähigkeit
Das aus biobasiertem Pflanzenöl gewonnene thermofunktionelle Polymer absorbiert Wärmeenergie und verleiht so ein sofortiges Kühlempfinden. Wenn sich der Körper weiter aufheizt, entsteht Schweiß und das patentierte hydrofunktionelle Polymer transportiert Feuchtigkeit zusammen mit der Wärme ab, wodurch ein kontinuierlicher Kühleffekt entsteht, der nach der Abkühlung eingestellt wird. Die Kombination aus einem hydrofunktionelle Polymer und einer biobasierten, aus Pflanzenöl gewonnenen thermofunktionellen Polymerformulierung der HeiQ Cool-Technologie enthält mehr als 50 % USDA®-zertifizierten biobasierten Anteil . Sie ist auch OEKO-TEX Klasse 1 geeignet und erfüllt die meisten RSL-Anforderungen („Restricted Substances List“) der Marken.

Monforts: A complete finishing line upgrade for Wülfing

Wülfing GmbH is one of the oldest but also one of the most modern home textiles companies in Germany, with its main weaving and finishing operations located in Borken, North Rhine-Westphalia, and a further jacquard weaving mill in Steinfurt, as well as with a making up and packaging plant in the Czech Republic.

At its Borken plant, Wülfing has employed a Monforts sanforizing line since 2009 to guarantee the required dimensional stability and shrink-fastness of its high quality bed linen. With a working width of over three metres, the sanforizing process is a central pillar in the production of typical wide-width cotton fabrics for home textiles.

In 2017, the company was able to acquire a second Monforts sanforizing line from another company which, although built in 2005, had been virtually unused. It was overhauled and installed behind a Monforts equalizing frame of a similar age.

“Unfortunately, the two machines had to be operated separately via individual controls and did not represent an integrated unit,” says Schulte-Mesum. “This resulted in deficits in the desired productivity and in the control technology.”

“Unfortunately, the two machines had to be operated separately via individual controls and did not represent an integrated unit,” says Schulte-Mesum. “This resulted in deficits in the desired productivity and in the control technology.”

Wülfing consulted with Monforts on a number of upgrade options and opted for a completely new joint control system to merge the two machines, as well as a new connecting inlet, a tensioning and damping field and a steaming unit.

“Monforts provided a fast and precise erection and commissioning of the technology in spite of the difficult pandemic circumstances,” says Schulte-Mesum. “The result has been an increase in production speeds by 20% and enhanced uniformity in fabric width through a much improved guidance system.

“We are also achieving energy savings as a result of the new control and drive technology and operation has been simplified and improved as a result of the unified control. We benefit from simplified access for maintenance work such as the grinding of the rubber blanket, but most of all we have greatly improved our flexibility and now have two almost identical Monforts sanforizing lines.”

Beirholms Væverier/Dibella/Reused Remade: Partnership to enable circular textile flows

Leading suppliers of hotel textiles in Europe, the Danish company Beirholms Væverier and the German/Dutch company Dibella, begin circular collaboration with Swedish Reused Remade, known for its climate-smart textile bags made of reused hotel bedlinen. Together, they will extend the life cycle of hotel textiles and contribute to the circular economy by upcycling discarded textiles from laundries turning them into new textile bags for the retail market.

In Europe, millions of tons of hotel bed linen are discarded each year and can no longer be used in the hotel’s operations due to wear and tear. Thanks to Reused Remade's patent-pending method of up-cycling hotel bed linen into climate-smart textile bags, enormous amounts of natural resources are saved. Because the textiles are reused, as opposed to being downcycled, as is usually the case today, this partnership offers a climate-friendly alternative to today’s disposal of discarded textiles.

Because the textiles are reused, as opposed to being downcycled, as is usually the case today, this partnership offers a climate-friendly alternative to today’s disposal of discarded textiles.

By 2025, all EU member states will have introduced an extended producer responsibility for textiles (EPR for textiles). This will place demands on the industries concerned to jointly find smart solutions and contribute to the transition to a circular economy. Beirholm and Dibella both have a strong focus on sustainability and are constantly looking for new and smart solutions for their customers' discarded textiles. The purpose of this partnership is to enable more laundries in Europe to join Reused Remade's circular solution with climate - smart textile bags made of reused hotel bed linen.

With an impressive growth journey since its inception in 2016, Reused Remade’s climate-smart textile bags for everyday use can now be found at prominent Nordic and European retailers such as Edeka, Clas Ohlson, Ica, and Systembolaget.

"The goal for 2021 is to collect 300 tones of hotel bed linen in order to meet our customers demand. It feels fantastic to be able to collaborate with Beirholm and Dibella, whose values about sustainability we share. We see that together we can make a big difference to our environment, our climate and our common future", say Pia Walter and Josephine Alhanko, founders of Reused Remade.
