Unifi: Upgrade its texturing capabilities with use of new technology

Oerlikon’s new eAFK Evo texturing machine, which was unveiled to selected clients at the ITMA trade fair in Barcelona, has proven to be a breakthrough in the manufacture of yarns. This is evidenced by leading global yarn producer, Unifi Manufacturing, Inc., who placed a significant order for these revolutionary machines yesterday, the first day of the trade fair.

Unifi collaborated with Oerlikon to develop a specially-designed eAFK Evo pilot machine that has been operating for the last eight months, using it to manufacture various Unifiber virgin and REPREVE®-branded recycled polyester and polyamide yarns. Unifi has obtained exclusive rights in the Americas to their unique design, which enables the new machine to operate at considerably higher texturing speeds, delivers consistently high-quality yarn across a broad range of products, and enables new, innovative performance yarns.

Seidensticker: COLLECTION REPORT für Damen & Herren

DIVERSITY AND UNIQUENESS

DIVERSITY AND UNIQUENESS
In einer Gegenwart, die immer mehr von Widersprüchen und steigender Komplexität bestimmt wird, verlieren starre Regeln und gelerntes Systemdenken zunehmend an Bedeutung. Die Zukunft lässt sich kaum noch linear aus der Vergangenheit ableiten, vielmehr entwickelt sich Zeitgeist im Spannungsfeld von überlieferten Traditionen und neuen Denkansätzen weiter. Visionen, neue Konzepte und ein nachhaltiger Lebensstil müssen künftig genauso in Einklang gebracht werden wie Digitalisierung auf der einen und Sehnsucht nach Authentizität auf der anderen Seite. Die Präsenz sozialer Medien verändert visuelle Wahrnehmungen und beschleunigt die Entstehung neuer ästhetischer Codes. Damit verliert die Idee einer ausschließlich auf Minimalismus und Reduktion basierenden Moderne an Bedeutung, während gleichzeitig die Toleranz gegenüber neuen Gestaltungsansätzen, die auch das Laute, optisch Intensive mit einbeziehen, steigt. Die Erweiterung der Perspektive zwingt zum kuratorischen Prinzip, um aus der Fülle an Möglichkeiten das Relevante herauszufiltern. Sich bewusst zu entscheiden und eine Haltung einzunehmen, ist eine Notwendigkeit, die nicht nur ästhetische Fragen, sondern auch die großen gesellschaftlichen Themen der Zukunft berührt.

Diese Zeitgeist-Aspekte spiegeln sich in drei Stilmentalitäten wider, die dem Kollektionsaufbau zugrunde liegen. Sie reichen von sartorialem Anspruch über den gekonnten Mix aus zeitgemäßer Klassik und ungezwungenen Elementen bis hin zu einem urbanen, kosmopolitischen Habit. Das Ergebnis ist eine Kollektion, die sich trotz ihrer Vielschichtigkeit zu einem klaren Gesamtbild fügt und in allen Aspekten – unabhängig von Lieferterminen und thematischen Schwerpunkten – optimal miteinander kompatibel ist.

TUONG LONG TO CONVERT 100% OF ITS PRODUCTION TO INDIGO SOLUTION BY ARCHROMA

Archroma today announced that Vietnam-based Tuong Long Co. Ltd (“Tuong Long”) is the first denim manufacturer in Vietnam to switch 100% of its production to Archroma’s aniline-free* Denisol® Pure Indigo.

Tuong Long Co. Ltd is a textile manufacturer based in Vietnam, whose plant is located near Ho Chi Minh City and employs 600 people producing up to 18,000,000 meters of fabric per year. Tuong Long manufactures and trades woven fabrics, particularly denim and khaki, stretch and non-stretch, for apparel brands in the USA, Japan, Europe, Korea, Taiwan, and Vietnam.

Archroma’s Denisol® Pure Indigo 30 liquid dye was first launched in May 2018 as a non-toxic way to produce the traditional, iconic indigo blue that consumers associate with denim and jeans.

Archroma’s Denisol® Pure Indigo 30 liquid dye was first launched in May 2018 as a non-toxic way to produce the traditional, iconic indigo blue that consumers associate with denim and jeans.

During production, some of the aniline stays locked into the indigo pigment and is difficult to wash off the fabric. The remainder of the aniline impurity, approximately 300 metric tons annually, is discharged during dyeing. This can be an issue as aniline is toxic to aquatic life. In addition, exposure levels to factory workers can be high. As a result of its toxicity (more hazardous than alkylphenols) it is now starting to feature on the restricted substance lists (RSL) of some major clothing brands and retailers.

The new Denisol® Pure Indigo 30 liq was therefore developed as an aniline-free* indigo solution for designers, manufacturers and brand owners who long for authentic indigo inspiration.
