Epson präsentiert auf der Texprocess zusammen mit Partnerunternehmen Lösungen für einen effizienten textilen Produktionsworkflow.

Epson präsentiert auf der diesjährigen Texprocess (Messe Frankfurt, 14. bis 17. Mai 2019) mehrere Exponate. So wird in Kooperation mit der „Digital Textile Connection“, einem Zusammenschluss  nterschiedlicher Firmen, ein textiler Workflow mit Weitergabe von Farbinformation gezeigt. Auf dem Stand von Assyst werden dazu Textilmuster gescannt und mithilfe der DMIx Cloud sowie den jeweiligen Lösungen der Unternehmen der „Digital Textile Connection“ in Hinblick auf eine farbrichtige Verarbeitung entlang der Produktionslinie weitergeleitet. Auf dem Stand von Epson schließlich werden Muster farbverbindlich mit einem SureColor SC-P5000 Drucker ausgegeben.

Des Weiteren werden die Ergebnisse des Projektes „Neue Produktionsmodelle – Vom digitalen Druck bis zur Konfektion“ von Studierenden der Fachhochschule Niederrhein gezeigt, das Epson im letzten Jahr erstmals als externer Auftraggeber vergeben hat. Das dieses Projekt bearbeitende Team ging bei insgesamt 26 teilnehmenden Projekten als Gewinner hervor. Eine der Studentinnen dieser Gruppe, Anna Charlott Buttkus, wird auf dem Epson Messestand mithilfe einer Ultraschallschweißmaschine der Firma Nucleus GmbH ein Kleid des Projektes nähen. Das Muster wird dabei auf einem Epson Sublimationsdrucker SureColor SCF9300 gedruckt und live auf dem Stand sublimiert. Auf diese Weise zeigt Epson einen kompletten digitalen Workflow für Kunden im Fashionbereich.

The materials that the future is made of ...

At home, at work, on the street, in the sky, on the water, even in space, technical textiles and nonwovens are swinging towards ever higher performances in amazing applications. Versatile and light, but sometimes stronger than metal, these materials of the future gain their superpowers from the interaction of precisely coordinated textile systems. At Techtextil in Frankfurt am Main from May 14 to 17, 2019 in Hall 3, B06, Oerlikon will be showing chemical fiber applications made of polyester, polypropylene and Co. and what they can do in these fields. However, these exhibits are only a communicative means to an end, as Oerlikon is primarily interested in placing the associated machinery and plant solutions at the centre of discussions with trade fair visitors.

However, these exhibits are only a communicative means to an end, as Oerlikon is primarily interested in placing the associated machinery and plant solutions at the centre of discussions with trade fair visitors.

More than two thirds of all technical innovations are directly or indirectly based on new materials, says the German Research Ministry. One could add: The key to a more advanced world, for technological products with amazing functions, breathtaking performance and greater environmental benefits, is also to improve the properties and processing of materials. This applies first and foremost to textiles. Probably no other fabric is so strong as a "team player" who draws its strength from its cohesion. A single polyester thread, for example, looks inconspicuous. Processed into a thigh-thick special weave, however, high-strength High Modulus/High Tenacity fibers anchor floating oil platforms in the deepest waters. These kilometer-long "Mooring Ropes" withstand a breaking load of well over 1,000 tons and perform their task better than steel. For decades, Oerlikon Barmag has been offering special solutions for the production of so-called industrial yarns (IDY) that are tailored to customers worldwide. "We will once again be presenting numerous innovations at this trade fair to inspire our customers," explains Dr.-Ing. Dipl.-Chem. Roy Dolmans, Technology Manager IDY and R&D Filament Processing.

Schoeller: NanoSphere® Plus protects against fingerprints and dirt

Techtextil 2019: Schoeller launches its new finishing technology called NanoSphere® Plus. The special effect of this new development is its protection against fingerprints and greasy stains. Furthermore, even after being absorbed by the fabric stains are quickly and easily wiped away without washing.

Every human being leaves its marks. In particular, on daily-use items that are picked up or touched often. Especially on textile surfaces, hand and fingerprints in combination with dirt and dust particles leave an unpleasant, greasy dirt film, which is very difficult to clean.

NanoSphere® Plus, developed by Schoeller Technologies AG, the business unit for technologies at Schoeller Textil AG, works on the basis of a functional chain. Textiles are equipped with a matrix finish to reduce the capillary effect in the textile’s fibers. Especially unpleasant sebum residues and dirt that are often released by finger and handprints are less absorbed by the fabric and can be easily wiped away.

Especially unpleasant sebum residues and dirt that are often released by finger and handprints are less absorbed by the fabric and can be easily wiped away.

Beside the excellent protection against finger and handprints, textiles with NanoSphere® Plus are additionally water and oil repellent, abrasion resistant and extremely durable. The finishing technology rarely affects the look or feel of the fabric.

Non-washable textiles that are often touched by hands or fingers, or fabrics that are in direct contact with the skin benefit most from this new technology. Therefore, NanoSphere® Plus is ideal for woven fabrics and synthetic leather or synthetic suede for bags, covers of electronical devices, head phones, loud speakers or other items in the field of interior equipment.
