Carpet Innovators and innovations

V

an de Wiele has succesfully introduced it’s new Innovatorrange of carpet weaving machines on last ITMA. Now the range has been extended with the Handlook Carpet Innovator HCiX2, using 3 rapier technology, producing 50% more than double rapier machines, very nice carpets with a hand-knotted look backside (Fig. 1). The maximum reed density has even been extended to 1000 d/mwith 8 colour frames, being the most dense machine-made handlook carpets available on the market, with more then 2.000.000 points/m².

Samples of this innovation are displayed at the Van de Wiele booth. The HCiX2 is the reference for handlook carpets in Iran, Turkey, Belgium, China, in reed densities from 240 up to 1000 d/m.

• The Rug & Carpet Innovator range is now available in a 5 m weaving width execution, for optimized combinations of area rug dimensions.

Studies has proven that the 5 m wide carpet weaving machine of the Innovator range compared to the traditional 4 m

wide has a payback of less then 2,5 years. This is valid for traditional design carpets and modern rugs with loop and cut pile, up to 10 colours, sisal look carpets, outdoor carpets and shaggy carpets.

• Many Van de Wiele MAX91 Axminster carpet machines are already equipped with a Smart Creel, replacing the labour intensive and unflexible traditional bobbin creel. This robotized creel is now also available for the AWi01 wire weaving machine (Fig. 2).

• On the Van de Wiele booth innovative

carpet qualities are shown, having pile and fillings effects, woven on the Rug and Carpet Innovator RCi03, equipped with the Smart Filling Selector, producing 50% more than on a double rapier machine (Fig. 3). New sisal look qualities, using thick filling yarns, woven on the SLi03 Sisal look Innovator and Axminster carpets up to 32 colours are presented.

For more information on these and other carpet qualities, we welcome you on our booth C55 – Hall 5.

Oerlikon Textile simplifies Organization and moves Management to Shanghai he Oerlikon Group will simplify its Textile Segment to further increase competitiveness and profitability. The three key elements of this change are - the consolidation of the five Textile machinery and components businesses into three Business Units (BUs), - the relocation of Textile’s headquarters to Shanghai, and - Increased R&D investment in both Germany and Asia to around CHF 80 million.

In line with the new organizational structure, Clement Woon, an internationally experienced executive will succeed Thomas Babacan as Segment CEO on 1 January 2012. Oerlikon’s CEO, Dr. Michael Buscher, said: “We have seen strong improvement in our Textile business, resulting in record margins. With the announcement today we are positioning the Segment even closer to our largest customers, consistent with our strategy to further increase efficiency and profitability. I would like to thank Thomas Babacan for his dedication to Oerlikon and welcome Clement Woon to the company.”

Today’s announcement supports the continuation of the focus on operational discipline, lifting the underlying performance of Oerlikon Textile to a new level, building on an already strong market position in Asia.

The refocusing of Oerlikon Textile comprises three key elements:

Oerlikon Textile Executives, including the CEO and CFO, will relocate to Shanghai in the first quarter of 2012. By end of 2012 more than 40 % of all Textile senior management positions will be based at Oerlikon’s new office in Shanghai.

- R&D investments in Germany and China

Oerlikon Textile will increase its 2012 R&D investment in Germany to around CHF 60 million (worldwide to around CHF 80 million) and start ramping up R&D capacity in China. The German R&D organization will focus on the continued development of ground breaking innovations such as the recently launched Autocoro 8 from Oerlikon Schlafhorst. The Asian R&D capability will specialize in regional adaptation.

After successful contribution over many years, Thomas Babacan will hand over his management responsibilities as Segment CEO to Clement Woon (52, a citizen of Singapore) on 1 January 2012 and leave the company.

With a presence in this region for almost 50 years, Oerlikon Textile’s sales in Asia will reach around 70 % of total sales in 2011. “To ensure the continuation of this success, we will manage the textile business directly out of its most important market and at the same time strengthen R&D capabilities, especially

in Germany”, said Group CEO Buscher.

Nearly 45 % of Oerlikon Textile employees are based in Asia today, with that share rising to 50 % by the end of 2014.

By the end of 2012 more than 40 % of Oerlikon Textile senior management positions will be based in Shanghai (up from 10 % at present). With this simplification of the organization, and a strong order book reaching into 2014, Oerlikon Textile is positioned to benefit from longterm trends in the textile industry.

Profile of Clement Woon

Clement Woon (52, Singaporean) is an internationally experienced Executive.

He has held leadership positions at, inter alia, Thomson Consumer Electronics and the Leica Group. In his previous position, Clement Woon served from 2008 to 2011 as President and CEO of SATS Ltd., Singapore, an airline catering and ground handling service provider with sales of CHF 1.2 billion, listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange. In this function he led the expansion of the company into the non-aviation sector, diversifying the portfolio and paving the way for sustainable development. As the President of Geosystems Division of Leica Geosystems AG, a multinational corporation based in Switzerland, Clement Woon led the transformation of the company’s value chain to deliver cost effective high technology solutions for the Surveying industry.

Simplified organization with consolidation from five BUs to three

A new Manmade Fibers BU will comprise Oerlikon Barmag and Oerlikon Neumag. The new Natural Fibers BU will consist of Oerlikon Schlafhorst and Oerlikon Saurer. The structure of the Textile Components BU remains unaffected by the realignment. Branding will not change.

Increasing the output of roduction bottlenecks in combing operations can be avoided - by the systematic conversion of existing machines. Find out more about the advantages of the conversion kit for the E 7/5 and E 7/5A combers. These conversion kits are quickly delivered and have an immediate impact on output.

Rieter E 7/5 and E 7/5A combers

to be increased. (Fig. 1) The Rieter high-performance nipper enables output to be increased by up to 15%. The higher clamping force of the nipper ensures that the lap is grasped more firmly and enables batt weights of up to 80g/m to be processed. This results in fewer imperfections and in raw material savings with the same noil extraction rates.

(Fig. 2 / Fig. 3) The PRIMACOMB速 circular combs are very important for trouble-free running behaviour, the desired noil extraction rate and the required yarn quality. The circular combs are a core competence of Rieter. They can justifiably be described as the heart of every Rieter comber.

Fig. 2 The high-performance nipper The E 7/5 and E 7/5A generations of combers have reliably done their job day after day for many years. The production potential of these combers can be exploited to the full by this conversion, which enables nip rates to be increased from 250 nips/min. to a maximum of 350 nips/min. Numerous customers have made this conversion in recent years. They report positive results - higher production volumes and improved quality values of the combed sliver.

Original technology components make it possible The conversion kit consists of several modules. Rieter technology components interact ideally - only in this way can increased output and enhanced quality be achieved. The high-performance nipper, the circular comb and the top comb - these are the 3 essential technology elements in this conversion kit. A new main motor enables nip rates

10

The distinguishing feature of Ri-Q-Top top combs compared to conventional top combs with needles is better selfcleaning and thus reduced soiling.

Cleaning cycles are therefore up to 4 times longer. More effective top comb

Fig. 1 The new main motor after conversion

action is achieved due to optimum tooth shape and cross-section. More short fibres, dust, dirt, neps and seed trash are removed.

Rieter combers fulfill the highest standards from the first moment of commissioning and over many years. The special conversions kits developed by Rieter enable the growing demands in terms of productivity and quality in spinning mills to be met.

Year-on-Year Global Fabric Production Down in Q2/2011

Estimates for Yarn and Fabric Production Negative for Q3 but Outlook Positive for Q4

nly as a result of higher output in Asia in general and China in particular global yarn production increased in the 2nd quarter of 2011 in comparison to the previous quarter.

Also global fabric production rose in the 2nd quarter due to higher output in Asia and South America while production in Europe and North America fell. It is important to note that production in the 1st quarter in China is traditionally lower as a result of fewer working days due to the Chinese New Year holidays. Compared with the previous year, global yarn production increased somewhat due to higher output in Asia and North America and despite lower production in South America and Europe while global fabric production dropped with all regions suffering declines except for South America. Global yarn stocks soared in the 2nd quarter of 2011 compared with the previous quarter especially due to higher stocks in South America and Asia, while those in Europe and North America remained practically unchanged. Year-onyear yarn inventories jumped, especially in Asia and South America.

Fabric stocks were up in North and South America in the 2nd quarter of 2011 as compared to the previous one, while those in Europe and Asia fell slightly. On an annual basis fabric stocks jumped in North and South America, irrespective of slight falls in Europe and Asia. Global yarn and fabric orders fell in Europe and Brazil both in comparison

with the previous quarter and with the 2nd quarter of 2010.

Estimates for yarn and fabric production in the 3rd quarter of 2011 in most countries is either negative or unchanged. In the 4th quarter the outlook for yarn and fabric production improves with most countries seeing higher or unchanged output levels.

In comparison with the previous quarter, world yarn production increased in the 2nd quarter of 2011 by +12.1%. While Asia recorded an increase of +13.9%, all other regions recorded decreases (South America -7.3%, Europe -6.5% and North America -3.1%). Year-on-year global yarn production rose slightly by+1.0% due to higher output in Asia and North America by +1.8% and +0.4%, respectively, and despite lower levels in Europe (-8.3%) and in South America (-16.3%).

Compared with the previous quarter global fabric production increased in the 2nd quarter of 2011 by +4.4%. Fabric production rose by +5.1% in Asia and by +3.6% in South America, but fell in Europe and North America (-1.3% and -0.4%, respectively). In comparison to last year’s 2nd quarter global fabric production was down by -6.0%. Looking at the various regions only South America recorded an increase (+7.7%), while North America, Asia and Europe fabric production was reduced by -8.8%, -7.3% and -3.4%, re-

spectively.

Yarn inventories soared worldwide by +16.4% in the 2nd quarter of 2011 compared to the previous one. In South America and Asia they jumped by +39.9% and +21.8%, but remained almost unchanged in Europe and North America. On an annual basis global yarn stocks were up by +21.2%. Especially in South America and Asia yarn inventories soared by +82.8% and +26.1%, respectively, while in Europe and North America they were unchanged.

Global fabric inventories rose in the 2nd quarter of 2011 by +8.1% as compared to the previous one. In South America and North America they jumped by +56.8% and +9.2%, respectively, but fell in Asia (-3.5%) and Europe (-0.6%). In comparison to last year’s 2nd quarter global fabric inventories increased by +8.1%. In South America they were up by +44.6% and in North America by +12.9%, whereas they fell in Asia by 1.6% and in Europe by -0.4%.

Yarn and fabric orders in Europe were slightly down by -0.4% and -1.2%, respectively in the 2nd quarter of 2011 compared to the previous one; in Brazil they plummeted by -30.4% and -10.5%, respectively. On an annual basis yarn and fabric orders were unchanged in Europe but dropped in Brazil by -40.0% and -18.7%, respectively.

EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON INDIVIDUAL AND COMBINED TREATMENT OF PECTINASES AND PECTATE LYASES ENZYMES IN COTTON KNITTED FABRIC SCOURING Arbab Alvira Ayoub, Sahito Iftikhar Ali, Soomoro Noorullah

Department of Textile Engineering, Mehran University of Engineering & Technology, Jamshoro, Pakistan

Ghasemi Behnam, Textile Engineer, Graduate of Islamic Azad University of Kashan, Iran.

hree different enzymatic scouring treatments are applied to cotton knitted fabrics prior to hydrogen peroxide bleaching at different temperature ranges (i.e 30ยบc-80ยบc).

The scouring procedures include a treatment with a fiber surface-affecting treatment with pectinases, pectate lyases and a combination of these two enzymes at same parameters (pH, time temperature). Properties of the pretreated fabrics i.e hydrophilicity and % weight loss are studied after each process.. Bio pretreated and bleached fabrics were further compared with those treated with conventional caustic scoured and bleached fabrics respectively.

Conventional scouring with sodium hydroxide followed by peroxide bleaching causes the highest deterioration on the molecular level, but results maximum level of whiteness, where as pectinases and pectate lyases exhibit superior absorbency and lower weight loss, which is the major problem in conventional treatment of scouring. The bioscouring process with enzymes combination renders the fabric absorbent with higher whiteness. The effects are generally more pronounced at 60ยบc temperature, suggesting that change in the temperature may have an impact on the effectiveness of combined bio scouring process.

Key words: Cotton, Enzymes, pectinases, pectate lyases, bio-scouring, bleaching

Introduction Cotton fabric has different kinds of impurities such as fats, waxes, pectinous

14

substances, proteinous matter, ash etc.

Presence of fats and waxes in cotton fabric imparts poor water absorbency. In order to hydrolyze these impurities, scouring of cotton fabric is normally carried out with strong alkali (sodium hydroxide) at high temperature and for longer duration. Although, this treatment gives very good results in terms of absorbency but it has also several drawbacks i.e high loss in weight of cellulosic material and high amount is required to rinse the conventionally scoured fabric [1-3].

on the other hand large amount of salt produced during the neutralization of alkali with acid, which causes high amount of waste generation during process. In order to compensate theses areas Considerable work has been reported on the action of pectinases, pectate lyases and their combinations at different temperature ranges 30-80ยบc with an interval of 10ยบc. In one of the re-

cent studies bio treatment of raw cotton fibers and scoured cotton with cellulases and pectinases has been reported [4].

During the last few years, alkaline pectinases enzyme has been found to be suitable for scouring of cellulosic material for removal of pectinous material .However, bio-scouring with pectinases enzyme being a milder process, natural coloring matter present is not effectively removed and thereby whiteness of bioscoured fabric is lower than that for alkali scoured fabric [5]. Pectinase is a multi-component enzymatic preparation highly effective in de-polymerizing vegetable Pectins with varying degrees of esterification, having several enzymatic activities and differing in substrate preference, reaction mechanism, and action pattern [6]. This difference in whiteness during bio-scouring persists even after bleaching by conventional method of bleaching. Alkali scoured and bleached

Kohan Textile Journal , December 2011

fabrics show higher whiteness than bioscoured and bleached fabrics. Pectate lyase (EC 4.2.2.2) catalyzes cleavage of α-1,4-glycosidic linkage in pectic acid.

These two enzymes cleave linkages by β-elimination and generate products with 4,5-unsaturated residues at the non-reducing end [7]. Pectate Lyases have optimal pH around 8.5 and require divalent cations [8]. Hydrolases have optimal pH 6.0 or lower and do not required divalent cations. Pectate lyases when treated at elevated temperature range e.g. 80ºC, gives better results than pectinases enzymatic treatment. In order to overcome this drawback, pectate lyases have been combined with pectinases enzymes in a bath at same concentration and pH at different temperature ranges. Further bio treated fabrics were also treated with hydrogen peroxide bleaching in order to compare the difference between whiteness of conventionally scoured and bio scoured fabrics.

2. Experimental

2.1. The aim of the research

The aim of this proposed research work was to evaluate the properties of Scoured and Bleached Fabrics when treated with pectinases and pectate lyases and co -reaction of pectinases with pectate lyases enzymes. Since bio scouring process carried out in a single bath without any transitional washings or rinsing until the completion of the process. The oxide bleaching was processed in separate step respectively on a pilot HT dyeing machine. The results were compared with those taken by the conventional caustic scouring and peroxide bleaching in separate baths.

2.2. Fabric

Throughout this research work, untreated grey 100% cotton, single jersey weft knitted fabric was used. The weight of the fabric used was 150 grams per m2, yarn count of 40/1 Ne. The samples of approx: 15 g were used in the processes. Wet ability (absorbency), CIE whiteness index, and weight loss (%) test was carried out on the conventional treated, enzymatic treated and bleached fabrics.

2.3. Equipment used for the treatments and for the tests

The equipment used for the scouring, bleaching was HT Dyeing Machine with 16 tubes (Roaches), The absorbency was checked by drop test method ,weight loss(%) was calculated by weighing the fabrics before and after treatment with the help of weighing balance For the whiteness index values of the bleached fabrics were measured by X-rite color eye 7000 A spectrophotometer.

2.4. Chemicals and Enzymes

For conventional treatment of scouring caustic soda, an anionic wetting agent/surfactant (sandopan DTC), sequestering agent (Sirrix AK), and acetic acid of laboratory grade supplied by Clariant Pakistan ltd. Scourzyme L (Novozymes) is a Alkaline pectinases enzyme and can be used at pH 8.5-9 range, at 50-65ºC temperatures range.

Bactosol co ip liq (Clariant) is an alkaline pectate lyases Enzymes `and can be used at pH 8.5-11, at 55- 80ºC temperatures. Nonionic surfactant (Imerol JSF liq), sequestering agent (Sirrix ANT OX IN liq), and Soda ash of laboratory grade supplied by Clariant chemicals Pakistan ltd were used. For bleaching Hydrogen peroxide, wetting agent /surfactant ((Imerol JSF liq), sequestering agent (Sirrix ANT OX IN liq), stabilizer SIFA, caustic soda (36 Be°).

2.5. Conventional Treatment of cotton knitted fabric

The untreated greige cotton knitted fabric was scoured in a bath containing 2% caustic soda (36 Be°) (owf), 0.5 mL /L wetting agent (Sandopan DTC) and 2g/l sequestering agent (sirrix AK) (owf) at 80ºC for 15 min, with a liquor ratio of 10:1. After scouring, a hot washing at 90 ºc for 10 min, a warm rinsing at 60 ºc for 10 min and finally, a cold rinsing at 20 ºc for 10 min were applied to the fabric, with a liquor ratio of 10:1 at each stage.

The scoured fabric was eventually bleached at 80 ºC for 45 min in a bleaching bath comprised of 2 g/1 wetting agent, 3mL/1 NaOH,0.5 g /1 organic stabilizer ,(SIFA), 1.5 g/l sequestering agent (Sirrix ANT OX IN liq), 3 ml /l H2O2 .After the conventional bleaching process, the bleached fabric was washed at 75 ºC for 20 min and neutralized, and then, treated with 1 g /l

Kohan Textile Journal , December 2011

washing agent at 85 ºC for 10 min. This was followed by two rinses at 85 ºC for 10 min each and finally, a cold rinse was applied for 10 min.

2.6. Enzymatic Treatment of cotton knitted fabric

The greige cotton knitted fabrics were subjected to individual enzymatic treatment such as Scourzyme L(alkaline pectinases) enzyme, Bactosol co ip liquid (pectate lyases) enzyme and combined enzymatic treatment of both enzymes (Scourzyme L and Bactosol co ip liq) at different temperature ranges such as (30-80°C) on same process parameters. Along with 1% individual and combination enzymatic solution with 1% nonionic surfactant (Imerol JSF liq), 1% sequestering agent (sirrix ANT OX IN liq) were used in a HT dyeing machine .The treatment was carried out at 30-80°C temperature for 15 min using a material to liquor ratio 1:10.A small 0.25g/l of soda ash was added to adjust the pH of the liquor at 8.5 (alkaline pH).After wards the enzymes activity was inactivated by raising the temperature at 95 °C for 10 min. afterwards cool down the bath ,thoroughly hot wash the scoured samples for 5 min at 70 °C and the cold wash at 40°C for 5 min. The Enzymatic treated fabrics were ultimately bleached at 80 ºC for 45 min in a bleaching bath comprised of 2 g/1 wetting agent, 3mL/1 NaOH,0.5 g /1 organic stabilizer, (SIFA), 1.5 g/l sequestering agent (Sirrix ANT OX IN liq) ,3 ml /l H2O2 . After the conventional bleaching process, the bleached fabric was washed at 75 ºC for 20 min and neutralized, and then, treated with 1 g /l washing agent at 85 ºC for 10 min. This was followed by two rinses at 85 ºC for 10 min each and finally, a cold rinse was applied for 10 min.

3 - Results

The following results were obtained from the experimental work carried out on a laboratory scale. %WL (weight loss %) and hydrophylicity has been the parameter used to determine the results of the bioscouring process for the different temperature ranges on the fabric. Some information on the hydrophylicity can be obtained from the drop test. Table 1 shows wetablity and weight loss of the fabric, in case of bio treated fabrics with

15

pectinases, pectate lyases and combination of these two enzymes. The whiteness of bleached fabrics previously scoured with and enzymes was also shown in Table 2.

3.1. Influence of temperature on the bioscouring process

Pectate lyases enzymes are well known for their temperature bearing nature i.e. they sustain and activate at higher temperatures; whereas pectinases do not withstand at maximum values. The optimal working temperature of the pectinases enzyme is 60ºC according to the supplier. The five temperatures of analysis, 30, 40, 50ºC were below this optimal range where as 70 and 80ºC were above this optimal temperature. In the case of pectate lyases enzyme 80ºC is the optimal temperature according to supplier. The five temperatures of analysis, 30-70ºC were below this optimal temperature. For combination of pectinases and pectate lyases six temperatures 30-80ºC were analyses for optimal results.

In previous work [9] the effect of enzymes treatments on cotton-containing fabrics, namely, viscose/cotton blend and 100% cotton poplin were studied. the wetablity of caustic treated fabrics obtained after treatment was maximum such as in 6 sec water drop disappears. on the same side higher weight loss occurs i.e.4.8 In the present work grey cotton knitted fabrics were used .fabrics are independently treated with Scourzyme L and Bactosol co ip liquid and in combination under different Temperature conditions and the commencement of this on the properties of cotton fabrics are studied. Table 1 shows the effect of treatment temperature (30–80ºC) on the properties of cotton fabric. It is seen that there is a noticeable enhancement in the wetablity, meanwhile weight loss percentage increased when treating the enzymes under their suggested temperatures given by suppliers. on the other hand, the loss in weight of the treated fabric increases when pectinases and pectate lyases treated at 60 ºC, when both of the enzymes are under activated condition. These results could be explained in terms of enzymatic hydrolysis of the impurities like pectic substances and waxy materials from raw cotton fabric when pectinases and pec-

16

tate lyases used in combined treatment.

Such hydrolysis yields soluble products and is accompanied by a certain loss of tensile strength which is proportional to the amount of weight loss [10].

Temperature of the combined enzymatic treatment must be adjusted to attain optimal range for the enzymes.

Table 1 shows the effect of temperature on the enzymatic hydrolysis of impurities of cotton knitted fabric, expressed as variation in wetablity, as well as loss in fabric weight.

The optimal range of temperature (30–60 °C), a rise in the temperature of the reaction medium to 60 °C in case of Scourzyme L (Pectinases) enzyme and to 80 °C in case of Bactosol co ip liquid enzyme is accompanied by an increase in the weight loss and wetablity .With the rise in temperature, in case of pectate lyases, the reaction rate increases due to the increase in the kinetic energy of the reacting molecules. This allows the enzyme molecules to come in contact with the fabric more frequently, until a maximum rate of reaction is obtained, depending on the nature of the enzyme [11-13]. When the temperature is raised over 50 °C, in case of Scourzyme L (pectinases) enzyme its activity decreases. As a result, the wetablity and the weight loss decrease. This is not the case with Bactosol co ip liquid (pectate lyases) enzyme where it exercises increased activity even at 60 °C as evidenced by the magnitudes of the variation in the measured properties of the fabric, namely wetablity, and loss in fabric weight.

3.2. Effect of hydrogen peroxide bleaching on enzymatic scoured fabrics

Bleaching of the bio-technologically scoured and conventionally scoured cotton knitted fabrics as described above were bleached using peroxide bleaching agent. Removal of natural coloring matters from the cotton fibers was evaluated by whiteness index of the fabric. Conventional scouring results in enormously high whiteness difference as compare to bio scoured fabrics [14].

An analysis of the constituent of (CIE whiteness index) reveals that caustic soda increases the whiteness and decreases the yellowish color content significantly the whiteness index of caustic pretreated bleached fabrics was as high as 7.5.5 However CIE values of the bio treated fabrics when treated with pectinases and pectate lyases enzymes have significantly lower value as compare to alkali treated cotton knitted fabrics, indicating less effective removal of natural coloring matters from cotton fibers [15-16].

The effect of hydrogen peroxide bleaching applied after the different pretreatments (processed at different temperature ranges 30-80°C) is examined on the fabric properties. Comparing the whiteness index between enzymes treated and conventionally scoured fabrics, measured after scouring and bleaching it become noticeable that hydrogen peroxide bleaching extensively reduces the whiteness difference between the alkali and bio pretreated fabrics when pretreated in combination of enzymes. The results also show that bleach ability of the combined bio pretreated fabrics is significantly better than that of the conventionally scoured fabrics.

Kohan Textile Journal , December 2011

As is evident, a significant enhancement in the whiteness is observed by increasing the temperature of the pectate lyases enzyme up to 80ºC. The opposite holds true for whiteness where considerable decrease in scouring temperature is observed for Scourzyme L enzyme.

Similar situations are encountered with combination of enzymes, but the magnitudes of variation in the parameters of fabric performance are only significant when temperature range set under optimal condition i.e at 60ºC when both enzymes situated under stable condition.

The maximum values of whiteness achieved in combination when fabric previously scoured at 60ºC.The whiteness index of fabrics treated with combination of enzymes was as high as 72.6 due to pre scoured with mutual impact of pectinases and pectate lyases enzymes.

Pectinases increased the effectiveness of pectate lyases when combined in one bath. Therefore for good whiteness index, which is usually required in fast dyeing and finishing method, the bio scouring using a mixture of the two said enzymes becomes a good option for scouring.

vided that they were carried out at the optimal conditions established for each process of enzymes. The results are promising from the practical point of view and deserve mill trials, that is, application on commercial scale.

Conclusion

Conditions were established for enzymatic purification (scouring) of greige cotton knitted fabrics was effected using either Scourzyme L (pectinases) enzyme at 60 ºC at pH 9, Bactosol co ip liquid (pectate lyases) enzyme at 80ºC at pH 9 for 15 min or more efficiently the combined treatment of both enzymes at 60ºC at pH 9 for 15min. Enzyme dosage of 1% based on weight of the fabric (owf) was used in both cases( individual and combined treatment).

Bleaching was successfully conducted chemically by using hydrogen peroxide at a dose of 3ml/l (owf), and temperature of 80 ºC for 45 min. Fabric properties expressed as wetablity, loss in fabric weight of scoured cotton fabrics is very comparable with, if not superior than, those treated chemically as per the conventional methods. The performance of bleached fabrics expressed in terms of whiteness index. It is further reported that the enzymatic treatments of scouring are safer and better for fabric absorbency and weight loss, pro-

DOMOTEX 2012: exclusive design and quality contacts Carpet Design Awards: new category for Studio design carpets

Match & Meet: new business matchmaking and lead generation service

arpets are staging a major comeback and are now an indispensible part of fashion-conscious interior design. Carpets add comfort and coziness to a room and work well with the ultra-modern, minimalist furnishing styles that are currently so popular. This carpet renaissance is giving designers a whole new creative palette, and the most innovative new creations will receive the recognition they deserve at the Carpet Design Awards at DOMOTEX 2012.

The Carpet Design Awards are a prestigious international competition for handmade carpets and rugs. Entries, which can be made in a total of ten categories, are judged against a range of criteria, including design, quality of materials, product features and innovation. The upcoming awards at DOMOTEX 2012 will feature a new category, Best Studio Artist Design , for limited-edition carpets and rugs designed/produced by artists and textile studios. The jury will be look-

ing for creations characterized by sophisticated design elements, unique material qualities, weave types and colours.

The new category provides greater international exposure for avant-garde, pioneering carpet designs.

Among the jury members for the 2012 Carpet Design Awards is Nina Yashar, whose "Nilafur" gallery in Milan is internationally recognized and respected for its quality classic and modern designer furniture and carpets. Also serving on the jury will be James A. Ffrench, a director of Beauvais Carpets, New York, and a highly esteemed past jury member. Ffrench is in no doubt as to the importance of carpets to design and interior furnishing: "Carpets create dialogue between all the various elements of a room's dĂŠcor. A well chosen carpet brings all of these elements together as an integrated whole. Without carpet, rooms always seem incomplete and empty - irrespective of how magnificent the other furnishings might be."

The best three entries in each category will be on display at DOMOTEX 2012.

The conditions for participation in the Carpet Design Awards as well as entry forms and information on the jury are available online at www.domotex.de/cda_e. The closing date for entries is 4 November 2011.

Match & Meet: new business matchmaking and lead generation service

Match & Meet is a new online service that matches DOMOTEX exhibitors with pre-qualified visitors and vice versa ahead of the fair. It enables visitors to plan their visit to the fair and helps put exhibitors in touch with new business contacts.

To use the service, trade visitors simply create a personal profile at www.domotex.de, indicating the products and services they are interested in.

Exhibitors need only register for the Match & Meet service. They do not need to create a profile, as this information, including details of their company and products, will already be contained in their exhibitor profile and will automatically be transferred to the Match & Meet system. Match & Meet uses special software to identify points in common between the profiles of registered providers and seekers. Users thus receive lists of matches, complete with contact details, so that they can contact potential partners directly to arrange meetings.

"Our new matchmaking service gives companies a highly effective tool for initiating new business. It helps put them in touch with relevant business contacts and gives them access to new target groups," explains Susanne Klaproth, the DOMOTEX project director at Deutsche Messe.

Leading textile machinery manufacturers snap up ITMA ASIA + CITME 2012 exhibition space espite the current global economic slowdown, leading textile machinery manufacturers around the world are still attracted to prospects offered by the world's largest textile producer - China. This can be seen from the overwhelming response received by the combined textile machinery show, ITMA ASIA + CITME 2012, which will be held at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre from 12 to 16 June 2012.

At the close of space application, some 130,000 square metres gross of exhibition space in 11 halls has been booked by leading industry names from some 30 economies. Although the space application deadline has passed, the show owners are still being besieged with late applications, including several applications for very large booths.

The exhibition is expected to feature some 1,300 local and international textile machinery makers who will showcase cutting-edge solutions, as well as

sustainability and energy efficient machinery and processes.

Chinese exhibitors make up the biggest country group, booking around 50 per cent of the total exhibition space. Besides China, the top participating countries in terms of space applications are Germany, Italy, Japan and Switzerland.

Sector-wise, spinning machinery forms the largest sector. This is followed by knitting, dyeing and finishing, weaving and winding.

Miss Maria Avery, Secretary General of CEMATEX, The European Committee of Textile Machinery Manufacturers, said: "The combined show is now well entrenched in the textile machinery exhibition calendar. It draws leading textile machinery manufacturers and is a must-attend showcase for the Asian market, offering plenty of business and networking opportunities.�

Textile exhibitions must be organized in textile countries

e continue to organize ITM international textile machinery exhibition, which was first organized in 2004 with the motto “textile exhibitions should be organized in a textile country” as Turkey is one of the most important players in the world textile industry and will always remain as an important player in the industry. ITM exhibition shall continue to gain strength as long as we maintain and preserve our position in the world textile. ITM exhibition to be organized on 21-24 April 2012 is announced as ITM Texpo Eurasia upon the jointing with Texpo Eurasia organized every year and it will be the most important meeting of the Turkish textile industry having recovered after the global economic crisis.

As teknik Ltd (teknikfuarcilik&Yayncilik) we have been only focusing in textile since 1996; consequently we have had publications and exhibitions dedicated for the textile industry. As the result of this knowhow and experience, we finger on the pulse of the industry. We have never get into other industries and always continued on our way as we are only the publisher and organizer company of this industry.

Consequently, Even in the period when rumors claiming that turkey will abandon textile, we have always repeated that “turkey is a textile, we have always remain so” and maintained our business. The developments after the end of the crisis once more proved that we were right. The developments in 2010 and the first half of 2011 indicate that the Turkish textile industrialists continue their investments and productions. The technology imports and product exports realized by Turkey a also justify these developments. Turkey ranks as the first 3 countries in machinery purchases and technology investments in the world.

operate with mainly European textile manufactures as well as other overseas companies so as to expand their facilities or establish new facilities as partners or joined forces.

All these developments reflect that the textile industry in Turkey shall never end; it only reshapes in terms of content and type, and continue to organize ITM exhibition as long as textile is present in Turkey. We plan to organize next edition of ITM in 2014.

Afterwards the global change process having started in 2008 and ended at the end of 2009, many things fall into place in the textile industry as well as in any other manufacturing industry in the whole world. In that sense Turkey gained a country ID developing and designing high quality, high valueadded functional products. In addition to R&D and P&D investments realized up to now, machinery purchases dedicated to increase capacity and new technologies to diversify the product range still continue. On the other hand, Turkish textile manufactures co-

COMPANY NEWS What is Happening in the World of Textile

From 14 to 16 February 2012 the Tire Technology Expo 2012 in Cologne, Germany is once again the meeting place for international tire manufacturers.

Focus of the Allma booth 8000 in Hall 8 is on the new cabling machine generation, the energy-saving miracle Allma CC4. And Allma has even more good news for its customers.

The world of cabling technology has been revolutionized by the innovative Allma CC4, the status quo called into question when it is shown how little energy is needed in future for the cabling process. Allma CC4 is a milestone in efficient production of high quality tire cord and for this reason in February 2011 was already awarded the much sought after “Award for Innovation and Excellence”.

The cabling revolution with 50% less energy consumption and yarn breaks Investigations carried out by our customers have proved that up to 80% twisting cost can be attributed to energy consumption in the cabling process.

Through smart intervention in the process, Allma engineers have been able to successfully reduce the energy consumption of the machine by up to 50%.

Analogous to the reduced power consumption of the machine is also the decrease in the costs of air-conditioning technology. Another achievement of the new technology is a further increase in quality and the increment in machine efficiency through a yarn breakage rate now reduced by up to 50%. The slim yarn balloon substantially lowers noise levels in the production hall and provides a pleasant working climate. Systems already installed underline the success of Allma CC4. Customers are producing top quality tire cord at unbeatable competitive prices.

A new rinsing process for discontinuous dye houses from Thies Textilmaschinen, dramatically reduces the number of rinses from 8 – 10 processes to just 2 – 4 with, for example, navy blue cotton, and also allows the treated water to be reused.

Now available: Allma CC3 energysaver retrofit pack In order to support customers in the battle against constantly rising energy costs and to meet their wishes for innovative product solutions, Allma engineers have now developed a retrofit pack for the Allma CC3 for existing machines. With an easy to install conversion unit the cabling spindles can be set to energy-save modus. Customers are able to reduce costs enormously and to increase the quality of their products.

The Allma trade fair team is looking forward to presenting customers and interested visitors all the information on the latest innovations from the world of twisting and cabling technology. The current focus is clearly on energy saving and also the latest advances and trends in the production of high quality tire cord and industrial yarns.

The new process reduces the number of rinses and the reuse of the treated water to provide reduced consumption levels of 30 – 50%.

Constantly striving to introduce new technologies aimed at reducing CO2 emissions and energy demands for discontinuous dye houses, Thies Textilmaschinen has reached a new milestone with the introduction of its Advanced Aftertreatment Process (AAP).

The AAP system has been designed to treat rinsing liquor in a separate Ozone reactor vessel using active oxygen to destroy the molecular structure of the dye stuff, removing the colour.

It is intended for use with all shades of yarns and fabric.

The system is operated during the rinsing and post treatment stages of the dyeing process.

The complete newly developed cycle for the dyeing machine to the ozone reactor ensures a faster and energy reduced online colour removal of the dye liquor without influence on the colour fastness.

By carrying out the AAP procedure in the dyeing machine ensures a dramatic reduction in the cycle time and the amount of effluent.

Currently 8 – 10 rinsing processes are necessary with, for example, navy blue cotton. With the new Thies AAP this is reduced to just 2 – 4 rinses.

For the first rinse, when the water is the most contaminated, it is routed from each dyeing machine in to a waste water contamination tank. This is then treated with active oxygen when the reactor is not working on completion of the subsequent rinses.

Once treated, the water is passed in to a clean water tank and is available for new treatments.

Rhodia's innovative product in the field of textile fibers, Emana® is a unique technology in polyamide smart yarns that reduces muscle fatigue and cellulite signs, with patents applied worldwide.

Santo André, Brazil and Castel Goffredo, Italy, December, 12, 2011 – Rhodia, a member of the Solvay group, and Fulgar, Europe's largest producer of polyamide 66 yarn for the textile industry, today engage discussions aiming an agreement to produce and market Emana® yarn in Europe.

Emana® is the latest innovation in textiles from Rhodia. The result of four years of development in brazilian Rhodia’s research centers, Emana® is a polyamide 66 yarn which incorporates bioactive mineral crystals in its polymer matrix, making it possible to produce clothes that promote a high level of interaction between the fabric and skin, improving blood microcirculation and cellular metabolism.

Proven in scientific studies, the benefits of clothing made from Emana® include improved skin elasticity and smoothness, postponed muscle fatigue and reduced signs of cellulite. The product is recommended for all types of clothing, including underwear, shapewear, sportswear and fashion, seeking to promote consumer health and wellbeing.

With patents applied worldwide, the benefits of this innovative yarn has been successfully assessed by independent world-class laboratories, through recognized scientific protocols, clinical tests and rigorous statistical data treatment. It has also been certified Oeko-Tex Standard 100 - Class 1, being suitable for manufacturing of any type of clothing, including for children.

Products made from Emana® also feature a versatile range of colors, do not lose their functionality when washed (permanent effect) and, like any conventional polyamide 66, are easily washed and kept. Just as with other

Kohan Textile Journal , December 2011

products made from Rhodia’s microfibers, articles made from Emana® are lightweight and offer a unique feeling of comfort, thanks to the gentle touch of polyamide 66.

"We are proud to engage discussions with Fulgar, a large and renowned textile company in Europe, which is fully aligned with Rhodia’s and Solvay’s values in the development of sustainable innovations aimed at improving people’s quality of life," commented Marcos De Marchi, president of the GBU Rhodia Fibras.

"For us, this initiative represents a qualitative leap in the provision of polyamide textile products to our customers in Europe. We have found at Rhodia and Solvay partners who are engaged in the appreciation of the textile sector, creating and developing innovative products that meet consumers’ needs," says Roberto Medina, Head of Sales, from Fulgar.

The 7th ICE Europe in Munich has been a complete success for the organizers as well as for the visitors. 5,700 international visitors informed themselves on more than 380 booths about the latest developments in the industry sector of converting flexible materials such as paper, film, foil and non-wovens during the three days of the show. Altogether the show had grown by 7 % in visitor numbers and even 17% in exhibitor numbers.

Never before have there been so many exhibits, machines and live demonstrations as this year.

Coatema presented at its booth not only three different machines from the wide company portfolio, but visitors could also observe live coatings on the Smart coater. On the small R2R lab unit with a

5-in-1 coating module PET and triacetate foils were coated with a dye-based solvent mixture to demonstrate that even thin coats can be applied homogenously. Prospective customers from the areas of batteries, fuel cells, flexible electronics and photovoltaic were fascinated by the multi functionality of the unit on a small scale.

Even more excitement was created with the Plastic Logic 100. The e Reader with Plastic Paper TM Technology offers the same reading experience as paper.

Even though it is extremely light and thin, it is still very rugged and shatterproof because the base is not glass. The ruggedness has been proofed impressively at the booth as Thomas Kolbuch, Vice President, has dropped the eReader again and again on the floor without anything happening. It is precisely this quality that turns the eReader into the perfect companion for the rough day-to-day production. That is why Coatema will equip their machines with such eReader instead of a printed manual in the future.

EDE, Netherlands (November 22nd 2011) – TANATEX Chemicals is constantly developing innovative products and concepts to complete and optimize its product portfolio. Today’s textile processing industry is driven by consumer trends and high quality requirements demanded by international brands and retailers.

TANATEX Chemicals is therefore constantly searching for innovative developments with a special focus on environmental awareness.

PRE-TREATMENT & FWA

BLANKOPHOR® CRF Liquid (V) BLANKOPHOR® CRF Liquid V is the violet shaded version.

26

Acid stable shaded fluorescent whitening agents for cellulosic fibres. Particularly suitable for padding application and dry curing, moisture curing and wet curing processes. It shows excellent stability to acids (used in moist- and wet curing) and electrolytes (MgCl2 solutions) and is highly compatible with resin finish liquors, even with strong acidic catalysts. The products show excellent high and brilliant whiteness and have minimal risk of yellowing in overdosing.

BE GREEN CONCEPT The wet application of textile requires huge amounts of water, energy and harsh chemicals. As most of the processes are running at high temperatures, high consumption of gas is needed for generating steam and water heating. This results in a high CO2 emission. TANATEX has developed the BE GREEN Concept which ensures bleaching at only 75˚C. Reducing the temperature immediately reduces the consumption of methane gas and therefore the emission of CO2. The BE GREEN concept is suitable for white for dyeing and full white bleaching, including OBA’s and is based on a low temperature activator controlling the decomposition of peroxide and rapidly developing the required whiteness. It is based on specially selected dispersants and surfactants. Process cycles reduce the total time, water consumption and gas CO2 emission up to 50% and a reduction of 25% in COD levels in the effluent.

CRADLE to CRADLE: EPIC3 TANATEX has committed itself to the Cradle to Cradle (C2C) philosophy by implementing EPIC3 : Extraordinary Programme for Innovative C2C Cellulosics Cycle. The purpose of the C2C Design is to restore continuous cycles of biological as well as technical nutrients with long terms positive effects on profitability, the environment and human health. TANATEX has chosen for a complete discontinuous bleaching, dyeing and finishing process of cellulosics: EPIC3. TANATEX is the

only textile chemicals supplier with a complete C2C system approach. TANATEX believes that C2C is the next generation guiding principle as it is the only alternative for prolonged use of our scarce global raw materials.

FINISHING

PERSOFTAL® MESO Special meso-emulsion of a modified silicone softener for the finishing of all types of textiles by padding.

Gives articles a very soft particular handle with good draping properties. It is applicable on both woven and knitted goods and recommended for application by padding. Particularly good handle is obtained on wool and woollen blends and treated goods have very good sewing properties. It improves dimensional stability of articles and is shear stable in recommended applications.

TANA®FINISH HPX Hydrodynamic finishing agent for fabrics, knit goods and nonwovens made out of synthetic fibres. It yields excellent absorbency on synthetics, such as 100% PES, 100% PA and their blends.

This product is highly recommendable for sportswear, but is generally applicable for both apparel and technical articles to improve hydrophility as it improves the humidity transport of the textile. It shows excellent antistatic properties of polyester, is durable to mild washing and shows no yellowing when applied separately.

PERSOFTAL® HNS Economical hydrophilic softener for cotton. It is particularly suitable for cotton towels because it does not impair the hydrophilic properties of the fibres. It is suitable for all cotton articles and all processing steps, for exhaust and pad application. Does not impair the effect of O.B.A.s, is low-foaming and shows soft, high-bulk hand. It does not cause yellowing in normal drying conditions and does not impair the fastness properties of dyed and printed goods.

Kohan Textile Journal , December 2011

COMPANY NEWS January-September 2011 nonwovens production by manufacturers larger than a certain scale in China increased by 13% over the year before to 1.33 million tons.

Sales also rose by 30% to 47.4 billion yuan. The total amount of profits grew by 37% to 2.6 billion yuan, and the growth was larger than those of sales and production volume. The profit margin on sales was 5.5%.

Egypt's Alexandria Cotton Exporters' Association (Alcotexa) committed to sell 1,775 tonnes of cotton in the week that ended on December 24, an Alcotexa official said on Monday.

The sales comprised 825 tonnes of the Giza 88 grade of cotton and 950 tonnes of Giza 86 grade, the official said.

The deal brings Alcotexa's export commitments for the 2011/12 season, which began in September 2011, to 25,204 tonnes worth $87.33 million.

By this time last year, Alcotexa had sold 89,355 tonnes of cotton worth $332.2 million.

The high price of cotton continues to encourage the consumption of fiber (PSF) and polyester filament yarn (PFY), it's just that more consumption is driven by imported products. Where the total fiber

consumption this year is estimated at 1.33 million tons, the consumption of polyester fiber reached 593 thousand tons and 128 thousand tons came from imports, up about 80% from a year earlier. As for the volume of filament yarn imports rose about 24% or about 52 thousand tons of the total consumption of 499 thousand tons.

sumption has increased significantly, but has less effect on the performance of polyester industry. Performance polyester industry this year supported by the unit price is pretty good. Redma explained that the unit price of fiber and yarn rose nearly 30%. "But it is also triggered by rising raw material prices of PTA and MEG" he said.

The production of polyester fibers and yarns not changed much this year that amounted to 535 thousand tons and 670 thousand tons, while exports of fiber volume rose only by 4.4% and export volumes fell 3.8% filament yarn. Above condition has significantly lower sales volume market share of domestic industry from 87% polyester fiber to 78% in 2010. As for filament yarn industry in the domestic market share of 93% in 2010 to 89% in 2011.

In 2012 Redma hopes polyester industry to increase its market share domestically. "Consumption per capita is expected next year could reach 6.5%, so in total private consumption could rise 8%. This condition will again increase in industrial consumption of polyester spinning, weaving and knitting expected consumption of fiber and polyester filament yarn next year could reach respectively 620 and 525 thousand tons.

Responding to these conditions the Secretary General of the Indonesian Synthetic Fiber Producers Association (APSyFI), Redma Wirawasta Gita says that there are goods imported indicated dumping. "It has been applied antidumping duties of PSF but does not apply to the five companies that we accuse China last year, while the data that we can import this year from China is still dominated by" apparent Redma.

Redma explained that the cost of production in Indonesia and China are not much different in both energy costs and labor costs, the difference is the cost of raw materials. "We do not import PTA because nearly 100% supplied by the domestic industry, while industry in China 35% of its imports of PTA, if coupled with transportation costs plus import duty so that they receive PTA prices become more expensive, if they sell to Indonesia with cheaper price plus transportation costs after the weird, definitely worth the price of dumping, it is clear Redma. It is also reinforced by the slowdown in the performance of their textile industry so that supply into the country a little less.

So although this year although con-

Dow introduced its DOW XLA™ fiber technology in 2002, and apparel featuring the fiber appeared at retail in 2004.

XLA was touted for its ability to withstand extreme chemicals and temperatures up to 220°C, among other processing conditions; but Dow made a strategic decision to focus on other businesses in its portfolio and ceased investing in the technology. The company announced in 2010 that it would stop production of XLA and shutter its manufacturing plant in Tarragona, Spain, upon fulfillment of all outstanding orders (See " Dow To Shut Down XLA Production," www. TextileWorld.com, May 25, 2010). XLAnce Fibre Italia has acquired the trademarks associated with XLA fiber; an exclusive license to use the technology; and the XLA fiber production lines, machinery and equipment located in the Tarragona plant. The company will move the equipment to a site in Italy and expects to begin production in the third quarter of 2012.

"As a leading stretch fabric company our interest into the possibility to resume XLA production was natural, since XLA has been one of the very few significant new fibers in our business in recent years, and our partnership with Aquafil, whose fiber technology knowledge is a key requirement, made this project possible," said Laura Colnaghi Calissoni, chairman, Carvico. "We will work to ensure that the new company, which will have the full freedom to operate independently on the market, can offer innovative solutions in many applications where the use of fiber XLA can add

value."

"Aquafil's consolidated knowledge within the polyamide fibers segment, in particular with the innovative Econyl recycled yarn, and within the microfiber and polypropylene segment with the Dryarn hi-tech fiber, will be essential to revive this promising elastomer with undoubted synergies," said Giulio Bonazzi, chairman, Gruppo Aquafil. "The transfer of the production to Italy will also bring the added value of the closeness to what is still renown as the Textile innovation and creativity world center, both for fashion and sportswear brands."

Germany-based BASF AG has announced plans to relocate its Dispersions & Pigments division headquarters (HQ) in Ludwigshafen to a new location in Hong Kong. The division produces pigments, resins dispersions and additives — such as photoinitiators, light stabilizers and formulation additives — used in the coatings and paint, adhesive, printing and packaging industries; and realized sales of 3.2 billion euros in 2010.

The division head along with approximately 50 global personnel will transition to Hong Kong over the year beginning January 2012. Employees not offered a position in Hong Kong will be offered positions elsewhere with BASF. Regional business and production units based in Europe and Asia are not affected by this change.

"Asia already is the largest market for our division today," said Dr. Markus Kramer, president, Dispersions & Pigments, BASF. "We want to further participate in the dynamic growth in that region and beyond. To this end, we want to change the perspective from which

we view our customer industries. By forming a global team at an international location, we will also further increase attractiveness of BASF as a global employer."

TOKYO — November 30, 2011 — Teijin Limited announced today that it will establish the world's first pilot plant for fully integrated production of carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) components from carbon fiber on the premises of its Matsuyama Factory in Ehime Prefecture, Japan. The new plant will feature Teijin's unprecedented mass production technology for CFRTP components, which significantly reduces cycle times required for molding composite products to under a minute, enabling rapid production of various prototypes and performance evaluation tests.

Construction of the new plant will begin shortly, with operations expected to commence in mid 2012. The new plant will enable Teijin to further accelerate its commercialization of CFRTP components for mass-produced automobiles and other industrial uses. Capital expenditure for the establishment of the pilot plant will total over two billion yen.

Teijin's proprietary mass production technology for CFRTP enables the integrated production of carbon fiber to composite products within one minute, the ideal tact time required by automakers for mass-produced vehicles. The technology, which promises to realize revolutionary weight-reduction, is expected to find a wide range of applications in addition to automobiles, where certain levels of structural strength are required. CFRTP components are also highly recyclable, as technically its ther-

To introduce this cutting-edge technology to automakers, Teijin developed an electric-vehicle concept car earlier this year featuring a body structure made entirely of CFRTP components and weighing only 47 kilograms-or roughly one-fifth the weight of a conventional automobile body structure.

Through the new pilot plant, Teijin aims to accelerate its market development and further its position as a global leader in carbon fiber composite products.

A French solution for a Belgian dyehouse success story scotex is a family owned commission dyehouse located in Deinze in the center of the important Belgian carpet industry cluster.

Specialized in the dyeing of loose stock fibers, the company has developed over the years a close partnership with French machinery manufacturers to offer their customers the best efficient service. Escotex was established in 1958 by Pascal van Brabandt, the father of today’s owner and CEO, Philippe. The name, Escotex, mixes the initial location, which is near Gand along the Escaut river (Esco) and its industry, textile (tex).

In 1972, they moved to Deinze in the valley of “la Lys” river in order to be in the middle of the Belgian carpet industry cluster. In 1979 Philippe, who was only 19 years old, joined the company and has been helped since 1983 by his wife Luce. This short reminder of the company history explains how the company and its owner-manager personal life are completely linked together.

Philippe Van Brabandt, even though he spends most of his working time solving technical problems to give a personalized service to his customers, has a long term approach in the definition of his company strategy.

He is not looking only for short term profits but to give the best possible service to its customers and behave in a responsible way for its community and environment.

a deep crisis. It can also be measured by the fact that if about 60% of the activity is within the local cluster, about 40% is exported outside Belgium.

The carpet industry needs to offer many designs, requiring by consequence many different colours, sometime in very small quantities. To manage and finance the raw material need a very fast and reliable network of suppliers. Escotex strategy is to respond to these customers’ needs. Escotex main activity is to dye loose stock fibers in a very short time, only a couple of days, with complete colour reproducibility and at a competitive price level.

In order to reach these goals, Philippe van Brabandt has developed a longterm partnership with two French textile machinery manufacturers, which have been working together to propose a complete solution for his dyeing process, Callebaut de Blicquy and Rousselet-Robatel.The first step is to find the best recipe for each new colour.

Callebaut de Blicquy have designed a unique laboratory dyeing machine with a hydraulic dyeing circuit equivalent to the one of production machines. Once a recipe is defined in laboratory, it can be fully reproduced in the production process, again and again. The second step is to have a cost competitive, reli-

able, production process for fast response, with minimum labour intensity.

Escotex dyeing house has been designed to reach this goal. When receiving the raw material, the bails are opened by a machine also manufactured by a Frenchmachinery manufacturer, Laroche.

Then by pneumatic transportation, raw materials are fed into a press manufactured by Callebaut de Blicquy in order to prepare the “cake”. Callebaut de Blicquy have developed a unique technique of high density cakes which gives a better color uniformity with very low liquor ratio and by consequence low consumptions of water, energy and auxiliaries products. The cake is prepared in a specially designed carrier suitable for high cake density. The carrier is then handled to the dyeing vessel. When the dyeing process is achieved, the cake is removed from its carrier, then it is broken and fibers sent through a continuous centrifuge to be hydro extracted prior being sent to the dryer. The unique continuous centrifuge has been specially designed for the textile industry by Rousselet- Robatel, a world leader of centrifuges for many different industries.

Over 10,000 of their centrifuges are in use worldwide.

The only way for the Belgian carpet industry to survive in the global competition is to be creative, to offer quality goods and services at competitive prices. Escotex has been designed and redesigned to offer their customers the possibility to adapt themselves to the market permanent new requests. The success of Escotex can be measured by their growth in the good years and their resilience during two past years when local business and activity were really in

Rib Knit A basic stitch used in weft knitting in which the knitting machines require two sets of needles operating at right an-

gles to each other. Rib knits have a very high degree of elasticity in the crosswise direction. This knitted fabric is used for complete garments and for such specialized uses as sleeve bands, neck bands, sweater waistbands, and special types of trims for use with other knit or woven fabrics. Lightweight sweaters in rib knits provide a close, body-hugging fit.

Rib Weave One of the plain weave variations, which is formed by using: 1) heavy yarns in the warp or filling direction, or 2) a substantially higher number of yarns per inch in one direction than in the other, or 3) several yarns grouped together as one. Rib fabrics are all characterized by having a slight ridge effect in one direction, usually the filling. Such fabrics may have problems with yarn slippage, abrasion resistance, and tear strength. Examples of this construction include broadcloth, poplin, taffeta, faille, shantung, and cord fabric.

Rayon A manufactured fiber composed of regenerated cellulose, derived from wood pulp, cotton linters, or other vegetable matter.
