Schoeller is committed to the CODE OF CONDUCT, which guarantees transparent production chains, environmental protection and fair working conditions. All RE-SOURCE textile innovations are bluesign approved - the international standard for responsible and sustainable textile manufacturing.

"The special Q-cycle process was used for RE-SOURCE. The resistant and durable Q-cycle polyamide is obtained by pyrolysis of used tyres and thus saves Co2 emissions compared to the combustion process. In this way, we are helping to protect the climate with Q-cycle," says Hans Kohn, COO, Schoeller Technologies AG.

The new recycled textile collection will be presented at the PERFORMANCE DAYS textile trade fair in Munich from 15-16 March 2023.

STFI mit textilem Leichtbau und Textilrecycling auf der JEC

Vom 25. bis zum 27. April 2023 findet die diesjährige JEC WORLD, die international führende Leichtbaumesse, in Paris statt. Das Sächsische Textilforschungsinstitut e.V. (STFI) wird seine jüngsten Innovationen aus dem textilen Leichtbau und dem Textilrecycling auf dem Stand der sächsischen Wirtschaftsförderung präsentieren. Das STFI fokussiert seinen Messeauftritt in Paris dieses Jahr vor allem auf erfolgreiche Beispiele aus Industriekooperationen, die zur Nachhaltigkeit des Herstellungsprozesses beitragen.

Im Forschungsvorhaben „optiformTEX“ innerhalb des BMBF-Förderprogramms „Zwanzig20 – futureTEX“ wurde eine neue Technologie für flächige Naturfaser (NF)-Halbzeuge mit belastungsgerechter topologischen Fasermasseverteilung entwickelt. Dies lässt eine signifikante Gewichtsreduzierung von bis zu 30 % bei Leichtbauteilen vor allem im automobilen Interieur zu.

Trenddesign und akustische Lösungen mit Nadelvlies

  • FINDEISEN auf der BAU 2023

Auf der BAU erwartet die Besucher auf dem FINDEISEN-Stand in diesem Jahr ein „Tropical Paradise“. Unter diesem Motto präsentiert Das Unternehmen aus Ettlingen neben den aktuellen Nadelvlies-Kollektionen das neue Trenddesign FINETT VARIO sowie akustische Lösungen mit Nadelvlies.

FINETT VARIO -Trenddesign
Bei dem als Bahnenware und Module verfügbaren Nadelvlies-Bodenbelag bilden verschiedene Farbeinstreuungen einen starken Kontrast zum einheitlich schwarzen Grundton. Die sechs Farbvarianten sind untereinander und mit den Trendfarben der Kollektion FINETT DIMENSION kombinierbar.

In beiden Fällen werden für die Nutzschicht biobasierte Polyamid-Fasern verarbeitet, der textile Rücken besteht aus Recyclingmaterial. Mit einem Gewicht von 1.300 Gramm pro Quadratmeter ist FINETT VARIO knapp ein Drittel so schwer wie vergleichbare Textilfliesen, was eine Ressourceneinsparung von 70% bereits bei der Produktion und in der Folge auch beim Transport mit sich bringt sowie das Handling auf der Baustelle wesentlich vereinfacht.

Bei dem als Bahnenware und Module verfügbaren Nadelvlies-Bodenbelag bilden verschiedene Farbeinstreuungen einen starken Kontrast zum einheitlich schwarzen Grundton. Die sechs Farbvarianten sind untereinander und mit den Trendfarben der Kollektion FINETT DIMENSION kombinierbar.

In beiden Fällen werden für die Nutzschicht biobasierte Polyamid-Fasern verarbeitet, der textile Rücken besteht aus Recyclingmaterial. Mit einem Gewicht von 1.300 Gramm pro Quadratmeter ist FINETT VARIO knapp ein Drittel so schwer wie vergleichbare Textilfliesen, was eine Ressourceneinsparung von 70% bereits bei der Produktion und in der Folge auch beim Transport mit sich bringt sowie das Handling auf der Baustelle wesentlich vereinfacht.

Dank des patentierten Aufbaus ist FINETT VARIO ebenso wie FINETT DIMENSION extrem maßstabil. Die Fliesen und Planken kommen deshalb ohne bedenkliche Schwerbeschichtung aus und werden ebenso wie die Bahnenware wiederaufnehmbar verlegt. Einzelne Module oder ganze Flächen können so einfach und schnell ausgetauscht werden. Neben den funktionellen Vorteilen ist die Easy-Fix-Verlegung aber auch deutlich nachhaltiger und kostengünstiger als die feste Verklebung: Für die Haftfixierung wird nur rund ein Drittel der Klebermenge benötigt und da dieser beim Austausch auf dem Untergrund zurückbleibt und nicht wie sonst üblich beschädigt wird, ist das Recycling des Nadelvlies-Bodenbelags deutlich einfacher und die kosten- und materialintensive Wiederaufbereitung des Untergrundes entfällt.

FINETT VARIO ist u. a. mit dem Blauen Engel sowie dem Green Label Plus ausgezeichnet. Die eingesetzten Rohstoffe erfüllen die Kriterien von Cradle to Cradle® für Materialgesundheit.


FINETT ACOUSTICS - akustische Lösungen mit Nadelvlies
Nadelvlies wird zunehmend für die Verbesserung der Raumakustik eingesetzt. In Kooperation mit der SUAM Akustikmanufaktur bietet FINDEISEN akustische Lösungen mit Nadelvlies in Form von Wandelemente sowie Pin- und Trennwänden.

Sie sind leistungsfähige Breitbandabsorber bei denen die Schallabsorption des Nadelvlies durch das darunterliegende, spezielle Absorbervlies zusätzlich verstärkt wird. Dabei stehen diverse Leistungsklassen (Schallabsorptionsklasse A + B) und verschiedene Verarbeitungsvarianten zur Befestigung an der Wand oder freistehend als Trenn- und Pinnwand zur Verfügung. Neben den als Intarsien umgesetzten Standardmotiven aus den Serien „art“ und „nature“ sind individuelle Umsetzungen jeglicher Art und Größe möglich. Zur Auswahl stehen dabei über 100 Farbtöne aus den Top-Nadelvlies-Kollektionen von FINDEISEN.

Working off the recent trend in knitted shoe uppers in the athletic footwear market, SHIMA SEIKI proposes knitted fabrics to the general footwear market as an alternative to leather. To that end SHIMA SEIKI will be showcasing the latest applications of computerized flat knitting technology to demonstrate its contributions in this field.

As pioneer of WHOLEGARMENT® knitting technology whereby the knitted product can be produced in one entire piece on the machine without linking or sewing, the company is showing the MACH2XS WHOLEGARMENT® knitting machine for the first time at FIMEC. MACH2XS features 4 needle beds and SHIMA SEIKI's original SlideNeedle™, capable of producing high-quality fine gauge WHOLEGARMENT® products in all needles. Proposals include WHOLEGARMENT® sportswear as well as seam-free shoe uppers. For conventional shaped knitting of shoe uppers, the SVR123SP machine features a loop presser bed that permits inlay technique for producing hybrid fabrics with both knit and weave characteristics, suited to shoe upper applications that require form-fitting function, comfort, flexibility, breathability as well as strength and stiffness. SVR123SP furthermore features i-Plating inverse-plating capability for increased patterning capability, including the production of jacquard-like patterns in light-weight plain jersey stitch. Also on show will be the compact SVR093 machine with a short knitting width intended for knitting shoe uppers. Both SVR machines feature such SHIMA SEIKI innovations as DSCS® Digital Stitch Control System, spring-type moveable sinker system, stitch presser, yarn gripper and cutter, and takedown comb. Made-in-Japan quality, reliability, productivity, user-friendliness and cost-performance all combine to satisfy the high expectations of the world's shoe industry.

SHIMA SEIKI’s SDS®-ONE APEX4 3D design system will also be available for demonstrations in design and simulation suited to shoe production. Of particular interest is its ultra-realistic simulation capability that realizes Virtual Sampling. When countless variations must be evaluated before arriving at a final design, virtual product samples can be used to streamline the decision-making process by minimizing the enormous amount of time and cost normally associated with producing actual samples for each variation. The sustainability factor is also undeniable.

Avgol®, a manufacturer of high-performance nonwoven fabric solutions, will use this month’s FILTECH exhibition in Germany to showcase its latest developments in using Algaeing™’s patented algae bio-based formulations for colorants and fibers.

Together with its sister companies from Indorama Ventures Limited (‘IVL’), Avgol will be presenting biotransformation capable fibers and meltblown for diversified end-use markets at the event from 14-16 February. Avgol will discuss with visitors how this new technology and the company’s biotransformative products can help businesses achieve their 2030 sustainability goals.

Algaeing’s technologies utilize various sustainably sourced, vertically farmed algae species to produce a wide range of appealing colors, many of which replicate the colors used in nonwoven fabrics today.

Algaeing’s technologies utilize various sustainably sourced, vertically farmed algae species to produce a wide range of appealing colors, many of which replicate the colors used in nonwoven fabrics today.

“The benefits of using an algae bio-source go far beyond the removal of chemically synthesized colorants, and include synergistic benefits of vastly reduced water consumption, chemical and fertilizer use, and carbon dioxide emissions,” says Avgol CEO Tommi Bjornman. “We will be demonstrating to FILTECH visitors that following an extensive development path, the fibers both absorb and retain a range of colors - such as vibrant greens and blues – and that we can even deliver a ‘heathered’ appearance for a more natural looking material, all without affecting the filtration, barrier quality or feel of the final product.”

Italian textile machinery: declining orders for fourth quarter 2022

The fourth quarter 2022 textile machinery orders index, processed by ACIMIT, the Association of Italian Textile Machinery Manufacturers, showed a sharp 35% decline compared to the period from October to December 2021. In absolute value, the index stood at 83.6 points (basis: 2015=100).

Orders took a 34% drop on the domestic market, while the foreign index was down fully 37%. In Italy, the index’s absolute value came in at 155.4 points, whereas on foreign markets the value stood at 75.8 points.

On annual basis, the orders index marked an 18% decrease and an absolute value of 110.4 points. The drop in orders abroad was 17%, while orders collected in Italy were 28% lower than the figures drawn up in 2021.

ACIMIT president Alessandro Zucchi stated that, “The orders index data for the fourth quarter confirms what had already been observed in the previous quarters in 2022. After a sharp increase in 2021, this decrease in orders for the past year is physiological. Furthermore, the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, with its related consequences on daily business and trade, and a macroeconomic framework in which uncertainty prevails, have further negatively affected the orders intake.”

Data for the last quarter does not suggest a reverse in the negative trend for the first months of 2023. Declining energy prices and inflation, although still high, also declining slightly are, however, signs of a light improvement in the business of companies in the sector as well. “We need to look to the current year with optimism,” continued ACIMIT president. “Our member companies are already focusing on ITMA, the upcoming global textile machinery industry trade fair, that will be held from June 8-14 in Milan.” “I am confident that ITMA Milan can represent an opportunity for further development of the Italian textile machinery sector,” concluded Zucchi. “The technological innovations that our manufacturers will bring to the trade show will meet the textile industry’s need to be increasingly sustainable, both environmentally and economically.”

As one of Asia’s leading trade fairs for the abovementioned sectors, Cinte Techtextil China is the preferred platform for multiple industry players. Speaking at the previous edition in 2021, Mr Seven Shen, Sales Manager at Libero Trading (Shanghai) Co Ltd, China, said: “We have been exhibiting at this fair for years, and know we will meet our target customers at every edition. The buyers here are all highly specialised.”

During his interview at the same edition, Mr Eric Ni, Senior Manager, China Supply Chain Marketing for Cotton Council International, USA, commented: “We hope to use this platform to meet more companies and brands in the nonwovens industry who are interested in US cotton, and to meet up with old friends to discuss the current situation and industry trends. The fair’s buyers are quality, and we have found some new potential clients at this edition.”

Many buyers at the previous edition also gave positive appraisals. “As a professional trade fair for technical textile and nonwoven products, Cinte Techtextil China is not only a platform to gather qualified industry players, but also the best place to showcase new products and innovations,” said Mr Lin Bin, Technical Director at Zhejiang Xinna Medical Device Technology Co Ltd, China. “Specific and high quality products enhance sourcing efficiency for buyers, and exposure to new trends and market developments ensures my company visits here regularly.”

The fair’s product categories cover 12 application areas, which comprehensively span a full range of potential uses in modern technical textiles and nonwovens. These categories also cover the entire industry, from upstream technology and raw materials providers to finished fabrics, chemicals and other solutions. This scope of product groups and application areas ensures that the fair is an effective business platform for the entire industry.

For Carlo Centonze, HeiQ’s CEO “the partnership with Beste makes total sense for all the values embodied by HeiQ AeoniQ™ that we both share, namely its commitment to circular ethics, practice and promote sustainability, and have a positive impact in the environment while also creating new business opportunities that the market and the Planet so urgently need.”

According to Giovanni Santi, Beste’s CDA president: “Beste SpA benefit company is strongly committed to developing a positive and responsible impact over the environment and the social fabric it is surrounded by. To meet this precise criterion, we use HeiQ AeoniQ™, a new biodegradable fiber developed by HeiQ, a Swiss chemical company that is Beste's constant partner in this indispensable green revolution. The introduction of HeiQ AeoniQ™, namely a fiber that is cellulosic in nature but with characteristics and performances similar to polyester ones, concerns a significant step in the reduction of CO2 emissions and plastics. It is not only a responsible choice, but it also deals with a precise and courageous positioning in the constant battle in favor of our planet by starting from the textile innovation front.”

The new Beste x HeiQ AeoniQ™ fabrics will be displayed at Beste’s booth during the Milano Unica trade show from January 31st to February 2nd, in Milan, Italy.
