SUSTAINABLE FIBER

‘‘Sometimes

the Bad things that happen in our lives, put us directly on the path to the best things that will ever happen to us.’’

Textile Value Chain Start from Fibre, which is the first raw material to make a beautiful garment. Sustainable fashion is most used word world over in a most fashionable term. But what is reality? World consumption of MMF (Man Made fiber) is 60 %, Natural fiber is 40 % and India is just reverse ie 60:40 (Natural: MMF). MMF fiber is made up of chemicals and petroleum products which is non-biodegradable, non-sustainable.

Commercially making MMF fiber companies’ R&D center need to make sustainable fiber.

Natural fiber is available in limited quantity against the demand of world, priced heavily as compared to MMF. Research required for developing new natural fiber in commercial production. In India, many natural Fibres are available and developed pilot project for natural fiber but no commercially viable projects are encouraged by government funding.

Technology for New natural Fibre to yarn should be developed.

More Mix fiber i.e. MMF and Natural fiber needs to develop like viscose. More research is needed in this area to make a sustainable fashion / fiber.

When we now talk about Fibre Neutrality, war should not be Cotton V/S MMF but Natural V/S MMF V/S Mix fiber. In a long run Mix fiber is the only sustainable fiber and most commercially used fiber. Tax rate of all need to be revised in near future.

We wish you Fruitful Festive Season..!!!

COVER STORY

TEXTILES IN FARMING INTRODUCTION – Agro industry is of paramount importance as humanity is served upon it, if this industry goes down it will turn out as an apocalypse. To cope up with the demands of ever growing population conventional agricultural techniques aren’t sufficient or capable. With growing population land acquisition for housing has begun to increase and it has resulted in reduction in agricultural land. Many techniques have been since applied to improve the productivity of land by use of artificial fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides, which indirectly impacted human health and since then many rules and regulations have been enforced by the government to reduce the harmful effects on human health. Textile industry on the other hand has helped agriculture by many means directly by bird nets, mulch mats etc. and indirectly by preventing soil erosion with help of geo textiles. Also the vertical farming techniques helped achieve better results with higher production in less area by utilizing vertical space instead of horizontal space. Soil-less farming techniques like hydroponics, aeroponics and aquaponics are quite successful but are rarely used due to their high costs, and are only limited to laboratory production and for space research.

PROBLEMS IN TRADITIONAL AGRICULTURE – Traditional farming employs very less technology near to none. It is highly impacted by acts of nature like climate, weather and season. Farmers spend most of the money on fertilizers, insecticides and pesticides for protection of the crop from failure, but those things are deleterious.

The water utilized for cultivation in soil is always higher than required for the plant because when watered the soil takes up maximum water and then it slowly goes on spreading to a wider area. As a result crops do not get enough water for its growth, also with the help of drip irrigation it can’t go beyond certain limit. Almost 70% of the watered water is wasted due to inefficient irrigation.

In a world with ever-growing population and pollution, it is imperative that resources like water, sunlight, soil, and money are used effectively.

USE OF TEXTILES IN AGRICULTURE Agro textile is use of textile material in the agricultural.

Textile products play an important role in agriculture from different point of view like climatic condition and production. As per previous studies it is observed that with growing population demand for food has also increased which created a stress on agro industry. So agrotextile is helpful to reduce this stress by increase the yield, quality and quantity of agro-products, which is not possible only with the traditional agriculture [1].

August 2018

www.textilevaluechain.com

There are many agro-textile products available in market.

Sunscreen – it is used to protect crops and greenhouses from excess solar radiation which will harm the plants and directly the yield. It also used to control the amount of shade required.

Bird protection net – it is used to protect seeds, crops and fruits against damage caused by birds and similar nets are used to prevent damage from hailstorms.

Fruit covers – to keep the fruit from decaying by the action of insects and bugs.

Ground cover – Weed in the field of plants creates problems to the growth of plant and also the quality of the fruit or grain so to avoid the growth of weeds mulch mats are used they cover the ground and only area open is for the plant.

Windshield – it is used to protect fruit plantations from wind and also prevents damage to plants.

Root ball net – it is important for safe and speedy growing of young plants.

Insect meshes – these are helpful to keep out harmful insects from greenhouses.

Turf protection net – it helps to minimize soil erosion loss and improve conservation.

Monofil nets – these are used for windbreak barriers, it protects plants against the harmful effects of weather.

Net for covering pallets – mesh nets are used for safe transportation of fruits and vegetables to the market, it helps to stop the boxes being turned upside down [2].

All the above textile products help to improve quantity and quality of the agricultural product so we can say that textiles can be backbone of the agriculture [3].

There are two limits of arid and semi-arid areas shortage of water and shortage of soil organic matter. In 1970 United Nations FAO suggested research on the use of organic waste from the industrial world to improve soil productivity in developing countries. During cultivation this carbon from textile material is added by vegetation sequestration of soil as organic waste. It gives reason to start field research on the use of textiles as a soil enhancement [4].

Textiles are the one of solution for water conservation.

The wetting property of textiles is useful for water conservation. Like in nonwoven fabrics wetting of material depends on porosity of the fabric that is the wetting

11

COVER STORY property of nonwoven fabric is influenced by their basic weight or pore structure [5]. Also water absorbing sheet like material which consist of water absorbent polymer and prefabricated nonwoven fabrics. This type of water absorbing sheets are useful for water conservation [6].

SOME RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN AGRO-TEXTILE There are some other textile products are also used to increase quality, quantity and to reduce time and water wastage. Some of the products like• Development of durable and barrier work wear fabrics for agro-textile application.

• Development of sun light reflective agro-textile.

• Development of barrier packaging as agricultural produce.

•Drip lined agro-mats for automated irrigation which helps in reducing water wastage and water scarcity issues [7].

• Nonwoven fabric sheet for agricultural is allow water to pass from upper surface to inner surface because of hydrophilic treatment applied on surface [8].

Growing population, changes in life style and rapid urbanization are changing the land use pattern. Urban expansion leads to loss of agricultural land [9]. This is affecting on food production. So it becomes important to conserve and protect the potential farmlands. Solution for this is vertical constructions which also include vertical farming [10]. Solution for above problem is called as vertical farming. In this crops grow in controlled environment. In this growing plants are stacked in layers [11]. Also for such small scale farming drip irrigation system can be production asset. In this system water and nutrients are allowed to drip slowly near the plant roots through a network of pipes. It helps in reduced water use, joint management of irrigation and fertilization, reduced pest problems, simplicity, low pumping needs, automation, adoption, production management [12].

There are some problems with conventional farming like high and inefficient use of water, large land requirements, high concentration of nutrient consumption and soil degradation. Conventional farming uses large quantities of irrigation fresh water and fertilizers, conventional farming may present health concerns for people and animals, it may farm the surrounding environment, large scale conventional farming takes away from small scale farmers, also farmers cannot produce crop that are off season [13]. For some of these problems organic farming is solution and considering all problems of conventional farming modern soil-less farming techniques are alternatives for them. Organic farming promotes biodiversity, it improves soil health, and only natural methods are used in organic farming.

tice in other countries. Technologies like hydroponics, aeroponics, and aquaponics are some of the soilless farming technologies. In some metropolitan areas soil is not available or scarcity of fertile land, so considering this soilless culture is developed [14]. In hydroponic system plants grown in solution culture have their roots suspended directly in a nutrient solution. Hydroponics is the fastest growing sector of agriculture, and it could very well dominate food production in future. This system gives advantages like high productivity as compared to conventional one, also it gives superior quality, and rapid plant growth, it requires 90% less water than conventional farming. With these advantages this system also has some disadvantages like high cost of electricity improvements, use of large amount of plastic materials which are not recyclable; plants are very sensitive to temperature variation. But in India hydroponic system is at theoretical level [15].

Aeroponics is the process of growing plants in an air medium without use of soil. Its basic principle is to grow plants in a closed or semi-closed environment by spraying the plant’s roots with nutrient water solution. Benefits of using aeroponics system more efficient use of water.

Almost 99% less water is consumed than conventional farming. No pesticides and soil fertilizers are used so, fruit and vegetables obtained are pure and doesn’t need to be washed before use. Delivers nutrients directly to the plant roots, which results in faster growth of crops.

Fruits and vegetables obtained from an aeroponics system are healthy, nutritious, pure, rich, fresh and tasteful.

Uniform growth among all crops. This system is mainly established for optimal and economical irrigation control [16].

MARKET The domestic agro textile market is expected to grow at the rate of 8% Combined Annual Growth Rate (CAGR).

Food security is the major problem in India and worldwide major problem is climate change, studies indicate probability of 10-40% less crop production in the country due to anticipated rise in temperature by 2050-60. This is the underlying driving force behind the agro-tech sector, to improve and give better yield. Agro-textile share only 1.5 percent of total technical textile market in India [3].

CONCLUSION • Organic farming technique is best compared to conventional farming.

• As land acquisition for shelter is increasing vertical farming must be developed in order to cope up with demands of social life.

• Hydroponics and aeroponics improve the quality and quantity of agricultural products, but they are too costly to be commercially successful.

Modern crop technologies of soilless farming is in prac-

COVER STORY

NATURAL FIBRES AND ITS USAGE. Natural fibre clothing is made from natural materials that have been used to make clothing for thousands of years. They are greatly elongated substances produced by plants and animals that can be spun into filaments, thread or rope. Woven, knitted, matted or bonded, they form fabrics that are essential to society. Plant fibres include seed hairs, such as cotton, stem fibres such as flax and hemp, leaf fibres like sisal, and husk fibres such as coconut. Animal fibres include wool, silk, etc.

COTTON The fibres are cool, soft to the touch and comfortable use to clothing. They are highly absorbent, breathable, and can withstand high temperatures. Pima cotton, muslin and lawn are thinner fabrics making them more suitable for curtains, drapes, valances, blinds and tablecloths.

Ladies are offered a large choice of solid and patterned cotton fabrics for dresses like lawn, voile, poplin, batiste, muslin, while men get to enjoy seersucker, poplin, gauze and madras. Sheer cotton fabrics are perfect for airy blouses, shirt dresses and skirts. Eyelet variety allows more air to come through, also makes chiс apparel like shorts, dresses and tops.

According to report of Interagency Commodity Estimates Committee, Lyman Stone Global consumption projected for 2017/2018 is at 114.0 M bales. China consumption will goes to 700,000 bales. India adjusts to demonetization and Cotton’s share of world fibre market continues to decline.

Figure: Cotton production by country worldwide in 2017/2018 in 1,000 metric tons (source: https://www. statista.com).

Silk Silk is one of the oldest textile fibres known to man. The Chinese have used it since the 27th century BC.. It has wonderful texture and lustre. Brocade, damask and taffeta are ideal for tailored curtains, pelmets and cushions, whereas organza is the most suitable for drapes and bed skirts. Silk remains the “queen of fabrics”. They are soft and cool to the touch, natural sheen, less breathable than cotton or linen. Silk is luxurious, beautiful and keeps you warm in the cold or cool in the heat. Silk is all good for clothing, medical textiles and home furnishings.

IBEF (India Brand Equity Foundation) market report had shown that, April-February 2017-18, export of silk and silk products from India stood at US$ 198.96 million In FY 2017-18 top five importers of silk carpet were US (US$ 1.40 million), UAE (US$ 0.95 million), Belgium (US$ 0.13 million), Germany (US$ 0.04 million) and Italy (US$ 0.03 million).

Coir - A coarse, short fibre extracted from the outer shell of coconuts, coir is found in ropes, mattresses, brushes, geo-textiles and automobile seats. Coir is used to make sacking, twine, doormats and items such as bags and ropes. Coir can also be used in construction and to improve clays. It is good for controlling soil erosion. The fibre is obtained from the husk of the fruit of the coconut palm. After retting, the fibres are subtracted from the husk with beating and washing. The fibres are strong, light and easily withstand heat and salt water.

In the month of February 2, Kerala state had assured a second restructuring plan for coir sector, with a plan omnibus to the tune of Rs 1,200 crore for coir industry. For 2018-2019, the state has earmarked `211 crore for coir industry. Globally, about 1.1 million tonnes of Coir are produced annually, mainly in India and Sri Lanka. Its total value is estimated at $200 million.

Flax - When ripe, the plants are pulled from the ground rather than cut, to avoid loss of fibre length from the stubble left in the field. Pulling flax by hand is very laborious work. It is one of nature’s strongest vegetable fibres, flax was also one of the first to be harvested, spun and woven into textiles. Flax has good heat conducting properties and durable. However, constant creasing in the same place in sharp folds tends to break the fibres. Flax is used for the production of linen and canvas, ropes and sacks.

France is the largest flax producer in quantity whereas China produces less quantity on the largest surfaces.

China is a major buyer of raw flax for processing, with imports of 60 000 tons a year, including most of European flax fibres.

Hemp - A Hemp yarn is strong and has of all natural fibres the highest resistance against water, but it shouldn’t be creased excessively to avoid breakage. Hemp is quite unusual in that it is both very soft and durable. It can be used for many things from work clothing to home decoration such as table linens, dish towels and sheets. The fibre is used for the production of rope, fishing nets, paper, sacks, fire hoses and textile. It has a great lustre and dyes easily.

Figure: Total Value U.S imports of selected hemp products from 1996-2017 in1000 U.S. (Source: www.statista. com) Statista illustrates the total value of imported selected hemp products in the U.S. from 1996 to 2017. In 2017, the total import value of hemp products came to some 67.33 million U.S. dollars.

Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Republic Of South Africa 2015, mention that world’s top 5 Countries producer of sisal from 2005 to 2013 in average quantities/values (tonnes) are Brazil 231,535.75, United Republic of Tanzania 27,460.50, Kenya 24,678.25 Mexico 18,047.50, Madagascar 17,463.75.

Alpaca wool -Alpaca is used to make high-end luxury fabrics, with world production estimated at around 5000 tonnes a year. Alpaca fibres are durable and cheaper than cashmere.

China. Production in the EU was 30 000 tonnes. China is the largest exporter of Hemp textiles, mainly to Europe and North America, where the market for hemp clothing is growing rapidly.

Jute - The fibres are extracted from the ribbon of the stem. When harvested the plants are cut near the ground with a sickle shaped knife. The small fibres, 5 mm, are obtained by successively retting in water, beating, stripping the fibre from the core and drying. Due to its short fibre length, jute is the weakest stem fibre, although it withstands rotting very easily. It is used as packaging material (bags), carpet backing, ropes, yarns and wall decoration, fashion apparel, soft luggage. The threads made from jute fibre are used worldwide in sackcloth - and help sustain the livelihoods of millions of small farmers.

In 2014, Peru exported $175 million alpaca fibre. Alpaca numbers in Australia are estimated to be between 170,000 and 450,000, with the higher estimate considerable in view that the sheep flock only numbers around 70 million. Wool ranging from 24 through to 26.8 micron is blended with alpaca. In volume terms Alpaca is middling amongst the animal fibres, on par with mohair and angora volumes. Some 80% of world alpaca production comes from Peru and Bolivia with three quarters of this production now going to China for processing Angora wool -The silky white wool of the Angora rabbit is very fine and soft, and used in high quality knitwear Abaca – This are for rope, abaca shows promise as an energy-saving replacement for glass fibres in automobiles.

Cashmere -Cashmere is exceptionally soft to the touch owing to the structure of its fibres and has great insulation properties without being bulky.

According to the July 2018, Jute market report of WGC Natural Fibre Worldwide, Raw jute exports from July 2017 up to May 2018 were 1,126,271 bales against 1,188,985 bales during the same period under review in the year 2016-2017. Jute goods production of IJMA jute mills and jute mills reporting to IJMA during May 2018 amounted to 79.600 million tons of which 2.600 million tons were jute yarns/twines.

Mohair – It is usually a silk-like fabric or yarn made from the hair of the Angora goat. Both durable and resilient mohair is notable for its high lustre and sheen. Very fine and silky, mohair is noted for its softness, brightness and receptiveness to rich dyes.

Ramie fibre is white, with a silky lustre, and is one of the strongest natural fibres, similar to flax in absorbency and density. Ramie is an extensive and durable fibre and can be dyed very easily, and is therefore more often used in decorative fabrics than as construction material. Applications are curtains, wallpaper, sewing thread and furniture covers, pillow cases, tablecloths, sacks and cable insulation. The main producers of ramie today are China, Brazil, Philippine, India, South Korea and Thailand.

Textile & Clothing industry ranks as the second largest polluter of the environment which has increased the relevance of Sustainability in this sector. When it comes to the sustainability of clothing, natural fibre clothing is generally more sustainable than synthetic fibres.

Sisal -The plants look like giant pineapples. During harvest the leaves are cut as close to the ground as possible. The soft tissue is scraped from the fibres by hand or machine. The fibres are dried and brushes remove the remaining dirt, resulting in a clean fibre. Sisal pro-

metric tons to an estimated 30 million in 2016. The value of production at the farm level was approximately $50 billion during 2016. Higher prices for cotton and jute during 2015 led to increased production of both in 2016.

Cotton production rose to 23 million tons, jute reached 3 million tons, wool and coir production are each estimated at approximately 1 million tons, and all other natural fibres together amounted to about 2 million tons in 2016.

World production of all fibres is estimated to have exceeded 100 million metric tons for the first time in 2016, a milestone for mankind and fibre industries. Natural fibres accounted for 30% of the total and manmade fibres the balance.

It’s high time for Apparel industry to focus on green fashion trends which can keep the mother earth safe and clean. Smart Sustainable fibres are the best solution for this emerging trend which will not only keep the environment clean but also it will offer most contemporary fashion with added functional features. Some of the innovative fibres include:

Pineapple Fibre is also on the list of Smart sustainable fibre extracted from the leaves of Pineapple plant, called as Pina. Pina fibres are strong, shiny as silk, lightweight and easy to wash & care. Fibres are very fine and luxurious to touch which makes it an Elite fibre.

Pineapple fibre is also an alternative to leather which is biodegradable.

Coffee Fibre Coffee fibre which uses spent coffee ground as a raw material in yarn production. Coffee yarn controls and absorbs bad odor, reflects UV rays & protect skin and has fast drying feature. Fabric made from coffee fibre provides comfortable feel combined with functional qualities suitable for all outdoor as well as lifestyle activities.

These Smart Sustainable solutions will give a new shape to fashion in the coming year which will make consumers more demanding for these trends.

There are two opportunities for biobased products to penetrate the textiles market. First, biobased fibres derived from either agricultural crops or forestry waste can be processed and developed to replace or blended with existing natural fibres. On the other hand, biobased chemicals can be used to manufacture polymeric materials that, depending on their characteristics, can be spun into fibre for use in textiles.

Biobased chemicals such as diols, diamines, diacids, etc. all have the potential to be used for manufacture of polyesters and nylons. This is the technology behind Dupont’s Sorona fibre technology, which produces propanediol that can be used to make polyester. A new bio-based material for the 21st century.The properties of polyesters based on propanediol have been well documented for many years, but until the last several years, an economical source of propanediol was not available. As other biobased chemicals that can be polymerized become available at competitive pricing, it can be expected that…

DuPont discovered Sorona® in the 1940s but did not commercialize it at the time because of the high cost of the key ingredient propanediol (PDO). A seven-year research program that began in 1993 concluded with the development of a process to make Bio-PDO™ from corn sugar. In 2004, a joint venture between DuPont and Tate & Lyle was formed to build, manufacture and sell this new renewably sourced monomer. The world’s first Bio-PDO™ plant in Loudon, Tenn., began commercial production in November 2006. The process to make Bio-PDO™ consumes 40 percent less total energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent versus petroleum-based propanediol. Production of 100 million pounds of Bio-PDO™ through the DuPont Tate & Lyle Bio Products joint venture will save the equivalent of 13.5 million gallons of gasoline per year, or enough to fuel 24,000 cars annually. DuPont™ Sorona® is the first bio-based, renewably sourced

polymer from DuPont. It contains 37 percent renewably sourced materials derived from corn. A breakthrough in polymer science, DuPont scientists developed a way to make Bio-PDO™, the key Sorona® ingredient, from corn using a new biological process. Whether it’s textile fibers and fabrics for home interiors and apparel, carpeting or a variety of packaging applications such as films, sealants, foams, rigid containers, Sorona® imparts distinctive, value-added characteristics.

DuPont™ Sorona® polymer provides a 2GD 3GD 4GD unique combination of benefits to a wide variety of applicatons. This advanced, value-added polymer represents a major new mix-enrichment offering, with the potential for growing into a significant market over the next ten to twenty years. . Sorona is a world leader in the textile industry - DuPont has introduced a new generation of one of the most innovative textile materials for clothing and bring a unique combination of performance advantages. Application of the Tianzi Sorona the performance of textile materials in yoga clothes and underwear on innovative design reflects its original ecological concept, but also a vivid interpretation of the Sorona “outstanding performance, from natural” claim, set off a fitness and underwear low-carbon fashion style.

Manufacturing ; A unique molecular structure DuPont™ Sorona® polymer is a unique polymer based on 1,3 propanediol (PDO). Its beneficial properties are derived from a unique, semi-crystalline molecular structure featuring a pronounced “kink”, as shown in this image.

Sorona® polymer is a fiber-grade, which means it has a uniform micro-structure and a high molecular weight that enhances processing. It can be spun into fiber or made into fabric in many existing facilities that now process PET. Because Sorona® polymer is manufactured in a continuous process, the variation of polymer properties is limited. As a result, processing problems and waste generation are minimized, leading to increased productivity.

Sorona polymer (scientific name: polyethylene tereph-

CHARACTERISTICS OF BAMBOO-POLYESTER BLENDED SPUN YARNS ON RING, COMPACT, SIRO, COMPACT SIRO SPINNING SYSTEMS

Abstract Ring spinning is the most popular and universal spinning system due to its significant advantages in comparison with the new spinning systems. But the yarn properties are hampered in ring spinning system with the increase of spindle speed and spinning triangle. Overall yarn properties can be improved by retro fitting conventional ring spinning machine. It also ensures better yarn properties such as strength & elongation, unevenness %, imperfections, hairiness etc. The 40¬S Ne of Bamboo: Polyester :: 35:65 Proportion was manufactured on four different spinning systems viz. Ring spinning, Siro spinning, Compact spinning, Compact-Siro spinning system. It is observed that compact yarn and siro yarn are stronger and less hairy due to the improved fibre binding, and have better yarn elongation, yarn irregularity and IPI values compared with conventional ring yarns. Compact-Siro yarn combines the benefits of both the systems.

Keywords: Bamboo, Compact, Polyester, Ring, Siro, Compact-Siro yarn.

1. Introduction Blending is the process of combining different fibres together intimately to achieve a desired product characteristics. Blends can influence colouring, strength, softness, absorbency, ease of washing, resistance to wrinkling, ease of spinning, cost, etc.

Natural fibres and their blends bear valuable properties.

tion and desorption of moisture, no irritation, antibacterial, anti-allergic, protection against the harmful UV rays and other valuable properties. Bamboo and polyester can be blended to get desirable combination of properties in the end product, by random mixing of staple fibres is the most common practice. Ring spun yarns made from 50/50 cotton/bamboo concluded that hairiness of bamboo yarns is much lower than that of equivalent cotton yarns. The tenacity of yarns spun from 50/50 cotton/ bamboo blended spun yarns tenacity is lower and yarn unevenness is higher than that of 100% cotton and bamboo [1]. The effect of blend ratio on with compare with 100% cotton yarn quality characteristics of bamboo/cotton blended ring spun yarns of linear density concluded that increase in ratio of bamboo/cotton blended yarn has a significant influence on the overall quality of yarn in terms of imperfection and mechanical properties such as strength and elongation, linear density of yarns[2].It is found that functional properties of bamboo blended knitted apparel fabrics concluded that bamboo content of yarn increases the yarn hairiness and unevenness increase along with a decrease tenacity during spinning of polyester/bamboo blended yarn with appropriate drafting system in order achieve proper integration of fibers in yarn and to achieve better yarn properties[3].

Comfort is one of the most important aspects of fabrics.

Yarns made of staple fibres have the additional complexity of the discontinuities at the fibre ends and the difference in structures due to the difference in spinning technologies. Different spinning technologies such as a ring, compact and Siro spinning have potential for higher

COVER STORY productivity and also influence the yarn characteristics significantly. Yarn properties are having a strong correlation with fabric properties. Hence, yarn manufactured on different spinning technologies are exhibiting variable effects in fabric characteristic.

Hence it is worth to study the effect of different spinning technologies on characteristics of yarn. This investigation is helpful for the spinner as well as a weaver to engineer their products as per the consumer demand.

2. Materials and Method In this study Bamboo and polyester Fibres of following specification were used for making yarns.

It is observed that Compact-Siro yarn shows highest amongst all the yarns followed by Compact, Siro and Ring respectively. Ring yarn is shows lowest strength. However, ring yarn shows the highest elongation at break.In ring spinning first the size of the roving is reduced to the desired yarn count by drafting. At the same time the roving twist is removed to a large extent and cohesion within the fibres is mainly lost. Thus the individual fibres lie relatively far apart from each other when they reach the delivery clamping line. This leads to increased elongation and decreased strength.Compact-Siro yarn combines the benefits of both the systems giving stronger yarn with slightly less elongation [6, 7].

COVER STORY technology on lea strength of yarn which is shown in figure 2. It can be seen from above figure that, lea strength of Compact-Siro yarn is highest amongst all the yarns followed by Compact, Siro and Ring respectively. Ring yarn is showing lowest lea strength amongst rest of the samples.

It is also observed that there is correlation between single fibre and lea strength [5, 15].

3.3 Yarn Unevenness, Imperfections and Hairiness Effect of spinning technology on unevenness and imperfections of Bamboo-Polyester blended yarn is shown in figure 3 and figure 4 respectively. There is significant effect of spinning technology on yarn evenness and the imperfections.It can be seen from the fig 3 that CVm% is less in Compact-Siro spun yarn followed by Compact, Siro and ring yarn.The same trend is also observed for imperfections.

Figure 5 Hairiness Yarn hairiness was calculated in terms of S3 value. S3 value indicates the sum of lengths of hairs longer than 3mm.

The effect of spinning technology on hairiness of Bamboo-Polyester blended yarn is shown in figure 5. There is a significant effect of spinning technology on yarn hairiness. It is observed that hairiness of Compact-Siro yarn is lowermost with S3 value 6.9 followed by Compact, Siro and Ring yarn structure.

The main reason for this could be attributed to the fact that two roving strands are separately drafted and twisted to a certain extent before uniting, which greatly limits the extent of protruding fibers. Hence it is showing less hairiness than ring spun yarn. Cross-section of CompactSiro spun yarn is smoother and closer to being circular which is beneficial for spun yarn qualities, especially for improving the yarn evenness and hairiness [6].

3.4 Yarn Wicking The wickability of yarn manufactured on different spinning systems was determined in terms of rise of wicking solution with respect to time which is shown in figure 6.

In ring spinning, the spinning triangle is the most troublesome and weakest zone in the yarn formation process in ring spinning as it increases end breakage, fiber loss and yarn hairiness. Hence ring spun yarn shows high values of CVm% and imperfections. In compact spinning the negative influence of the spinning triangle is minimized which reduces affects which reduces the unevenness and imperfections.

In case of Siro yarn there are better chances of readjustment of fibers due to doubling between the fleeces within the yarn leading to better evenness and reduced imperfections. Compact- Siro yarn combines the advantages of both Compact and Siro spinning system showing greater yarn evenness and lesser imperfections [4,5,6].

Yarn Hairiness

Figure 6 Wicking Height (Yarn) There is a significant effect of spinning technology on yarn wicking. It can be seen that, wickability of Compact-Siro yarn is lowermost followed by Compact, Siro and Ring.

As compared to Compact, Siro or Compact-Siro yarn, ring yarn has open packing. Open packing forms micro capillaries which are responsible for wicking action hence ring yarn shows high wickability. Compact-Siro yarn has even more close packing than Siro yarn resulting lower wicking ability [6, 7, 8].

4. Conclusion Compact yarn and Siro yarn are claimed to be stronger and less hairy due to the improved fibre binding, and have better yarn in strength & elongation, yarn irregularity and IPI values compared with conventional ring yarns.In case of compact yarn, the spinning triangle is very small which leads to better twisting of edge fibres, resulting inthe higher number of fibres in yarn cross section. As a number of fibres in yarn cross-section increases, there is an increase in load bearing component in yarn. In

COVER STORY Siro yarn, the majority of the fibres get trapped in the structure so as to increase inter-fibre cohesion in the yarn, thus making the yarn withstand higher breaking forces. Compact-Siro yarn combines the benefits of both the systems. It is possible to use low quality fibres while maintaining yarn strength equal to the conventional ring spun yarn with the same twist level.

SURAT REPORT

THE STATE GOVT. TO LAUNCH NEW TEXTILE POLICY BEFORE DIWALI The government of Gujarat plans to launch it’s new textile policy in October-2018. The present textile policy, announced in 2012, will expire this September. The new policy is expected to dole out several incentives, including cheap power, to attract industries to the state.

Recently, state industries commissioner Mamta Verma visited Southern Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SGCCI), in Surat to hold discussions on the new textile policy. Textile entrepreneurs have made a representation that the new textile policy should address the issues of power tariff, capital subsidy, interest subsidy and investment on top priority.

Sourses said, A task force has been formed to study incentives offered under the textile polices of other states. The task force is expected to submit its final report and proposed draft policy soon. The new policy envisages a special thrust on garments and technical textiles. There will be a focus on establishing textiles parks within GIDC estates and in other parts of the state. The state government, through the new policy, aims to attract Rs 1 lakh crore in investment and create 10 lakh jobs in the textile industry over the next five years.

The state recently declared it would reimburse state goods and services tax (SGST) to the textile industry. The reimbursement will be given in lieu of sops given to the sector under the earlier value added tax (VAT) regime.

Meanwhile, it has been approved, in principle, that all the schemes under the textile policy of 2012 will be continued in the new policy as well.

FANCY AND VISCOSE YARN GLITTERS IN “YARN EXPO-2018” The articles of fancy yarn made it’s place in the “Yarn Expo-2018” organised by The Southern Gujarat chamber of commerce ans industry(SGCCI) here in August first week. A collection of fancy yarn, lycra based yarn, mix coir yarn and a range of viscose yarn remained center of attraction. The three day’s event witnessed more than 10 thousand visitors.

The chairman of GFRRC of SGCCI, Girdhar Gopal Mundra said, about 70 leading yarn manufacturers in the country have participated in the event. This time various range of fancy and viscose yarn glitters in the B2B event. The viscose auto crometic yarn, tinsell yarn, model blend, linen blend, polyester corn fibre and yarn collection were in demand. The fancy yarn gives a fancy touch to the fabrics to a broad range of end uses. There is a significant demand for the fancy yarn in the ladies and children

In a programme held here in last week, the past chairman of India ITME society, Rajnikant Bachkaniwala said, this event is a platform for meeting up with domestic requirement with the make in india initiative for encouraging and facilitating the textile & textile engineering sector. As Surat is a hub of power loom units, we have invited the city enterpreniours for GTTES. In order to strengthen and promote the powerloom and spinning industry, GTTES has specialised pavilion for this chapter.

The GTTES is a growth catalyst and optimum business platform with numerous business leads, new customers offering best sourcing solution to India’s surging demand for textile machinery.

The annual production capacity of indian textile machinery manufactuters is about 12,000 crore, and their selling is about 8,000 crore. The most significant change in Indian textiles industry has been the advent of man made fibres (MMF). Except spinning, majority of the textile and apparel machinery demand of India is being catered by imports. Because of high speed, better technology the domestic fabrics manufacturers imports textile machinery from Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea and china.

The indian machinery producers now focusing on technology innovation and eyes on forth generation machineries. After several presentation, the government is changing it’s policies. India is world’s largest textile

GLOBAL TEXTILE PRICING TREND IN JUNE Cotton In India, the increase in cotton prices slowed down in July as the marketing year approaches the end. Spot prices were up INR400-1,950 per candy month on month across all varieties with more sharper increase for finer cotton.

Shankar-6 cotton was traded at INR46,775 per candy on the spot market, up INR1,050 from last month. The slower rise is attributed to sluggish global cues, and end of the season where arrivals were negligible.

US cotton futures m o v e d sideways in July giving back and regaining previous losses as the weather in Texas remained dry. Weaker than expected export sales caused prices to trade lower earlier. USDA showed further deterioration in the crops in its weekly updates, and predicted that conditions could

deteriorate further. US crop conditions were fading due to the extreme Texas weather and pockets of problems in other states. Crop conditions were good in the rest of the Southeast as these areas have been a little dryer.

The most active cotton contract on ICE Futures US, the second-month December contract, settled down US cents 1 on the month at US cents 86.93 per pound. The near month, October was US cents 1.23 lower at US cents 87.84 per pound.

In China, spot cotton markets saw some improvement amid drying climatic conditions. The trade war has been in focus with players expecting rise in import prices also due to weakening Yuan. Hand-picked grade-2128 were quoted at 15.60-15.75 Yuan a kg (US cents 105-106 per pound). The China Cotton Index edged down 186 Yuan to average 16,198 a ton (US cents 108 a pound) for July.

Global spot benchmark, the Cotlook A index also lost US cent 0.91 on the month to average US cents 96.50 per pound despite some recovery seen late in the month.

Cotton Yarn Cotton yarn market atmosphere in China continued to be on wait and watch stance and prices generally moderated across specs. Transactions were mainly done for 21s and 32s while demand was sound for 45s yarn.

YARN REPORT Producers still had high inventory at mills due to past high operating rates. In Jiangsu Shengze, 32s cotton yarn prices averaged 24.05 Yuan a kg (US$3.58 a kg) while 40s were at 25.10 Yuan a kg (US$3.74 a kg) both down US cents 15-16, also due to weak currency.

expansions in capacities. Export activity was curtailed by recent losses in crude oil prices, which dampened buying appetite leading buyers to enquire only about smaller volume parcels with lower buying indications. PSF makers held offers stable in Zhejiang while markets in Shandong and Hebei also held higher, but weak currency saw quotes down from June. In Jiangsu and Zhejiang, offers for 1.4D direct-melt PSF were down US cents 4 at US$1.29-1.35 a kg, while the same in Fujian and Shandong were down in the range of US$1.29-1.33 a kg. In India, PSF prices were cut and trading could not resume normalcy during the month. Prices averaged at INR93.75 a kg for 1.4 (US$1.36 a kg, down US cents 3), also due to weak INR. Polyester spun yarn prices moved down slightly in China in July although there was firmness in PSF markets.

Transactions in terminal markets were moderate. Yarn makers and traders held firm wait-and-see stance and had low interest in cutting prices further due to weak adjustment in future and orders intake from downstream fabric producers. 32s polyester yarn offers were at 14.19 Yuan a kg (US$2.11 a kg) while 60s were flat at 16.40 Yuan a kg (US$2.44 a kg). In India, polyester yarn prices generally rolled over given stable demand in domestic as well as export markets. 30s polyester knit yarn prices were flat at INR132 a kg (US$$1.92 a kg, down US cents 2 due to weak INR) in Ludhiana.

Polyester staple fibre prices were up in China in July and flat in India, but weak currencies against the US$ pegged values down in US$ terms. In China, offers were up in Jiangsu & Zhejiang and Fujian markets in line with rising cost of PTA. Sellers were unwilling to reduce prices as domestic demand remained relatively healthy while inventory levels were moderately low despite recent

MEG CFR China markers averaged US$901.50 a ton and CFR South East Asia to US$889 a ton, up US$2.50 month on month.

ECONOMY FOCUS

RISKS TO MACROECONOMIC STABILITY FROM TRADE WAR Though the RBI maintained its growth projection for FY19 at 7.4%, it has alluded to risks on account of protectionist measures and further escalation in trade tensions in its policy statement. There are two dimensions to the risks to macroeconomic stability from trade tensions. One dimension, of course is that if the global economy slows down, it could result in contraction in global trade and hit our export volumes. The second dimension is that of the policy response of central banks globally to counter the effect of trade war i.e. the risk of trade war eventually turning into a currency war. For example, the PBoC has allowed the Yuan to depreciate to mitigate the effect of tariffs imposed by the US. This has resulted in the Rupee strengthening by almost 6% on a relative basis against the Yuan since May. The relative Rupee strength not only

26

makes our exports uncompetitive in the global market but also impinges on our domestic industry on account of import substitution as Chinese imports become cheaper.

In the most recent phase of concerted global growth, our export growth has been tepid. While a part of it can be attributed to demonetization and GST implementation induced challenges, the fact that export growth is still muted points to the fact that Rupee overvaluation has also had a role to play. The elasticity of our exports to the Rupee has increased. The sectors worst affected

by Rupee overvaluation would be the ones that export undifferentiated goods as these goods can be easily substituted by exports from other countries such as Vietnam, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Rupee overvaluation is therefore a significant concern as exports account for

www.textilevaluechain.com

August 2018

ECONOMY FOCUS roughly 20% of our GDP. The RBI therefore is walking a very tight rope, as it has to strike a delicate balance between inflationary consequences of Rupee depreciation and risks to export growth and domestic industry on account of Rupee overvaluation. So far, the RBI seems more concerned about Rupee depreciation as is evident from aggressive intervention around the 69 mark. The RBI would certainly not want a repeat of a 2013 like situation when there was extreme pessimism that resulted in a speculative run on the currency. Runaway depreciation of the Rupee in the lead up to the general election can trigger a confidence crisis and jeopardize the chances of the incumbent government. The aggressive intervention strategy has worked so far and has kept the speculators at bay.

With the US mid term elections approaching, it is unlikely that there would be any softening of protectionist rhetoric

from the Oval office. With China too pledging to reply in kind, there does not seem to be any immediate end to the tensions. The Rupee is therefore likely to closely track the Chinese Yuan and the spread between the offshore CNH and onshore CNY. The RBI is likely to intervene less aggressively if the Yuan and other EM currencies continue to depreciate. The endeavor of the RBI would be to manage the real effective exchange rate of the Rupee (REER), preventing extreme overvaluation and to contain volatility by smoothening the pace of Rupee depreciation.

The downside in USDINR looks limited as of now (unless there is a massive global unwinding of USD longs) as the RBI would be keen to replenish its lost Reserves on every dip. 68.10-68.20 zone is expected to be a strong support for USDINR. It would not be a surprise if 7 on the Yuan is seen which in turn could trigger a break of 69.20 levels on the way to 70.

OUTLOOK Indian Textile industry is a complex entity. In no country in the world the textile industry spans so deep and varietal be across fibres or across value chain of the industry or in terms of organization of production.

May be due to this phenomenon, India has a dedicated Ministry for Textiles. The industry has its presence in cotton, silk, Manmade fibre, Jute, wool and in Value chain, Ginning, Spinning, weaving, Processing and Garmenting besides technical textiles. To add to this matrix, the value chain/fibre components are present both in Organised and decentralized sector and almost all the sectoral components cater to both domestic and international markets. As per the statistics, the decentralized sector(weaving) contribute close to 96 percent of cloth production in the country and only the rest is by organized mill sector. Enough has been discussed, deliberated on this state of affairs in various forums-academic, industry and Government missionary alike that had once resulted in favourable policy framework to fillip decentralized production mode. It is said the decentralized weaving production mode is with benefits of lower cost of production, faster product mix changes, shorter working capital cycle, varietal and lower quantum of production to cater to the ever changing marketing trends, benefits of being MSME units like employment generation for unorganized labour, industry spread and so on. But has problems like non-standardized products, quality issues, not able to catering flawless long length of cloth to the subsequent links in the value chain, wet processing and Garmenting, so also the same for wet processing in the decentralized sector. The varietal production in low quantum across the fibres is n fact a USP of Indian textile industry and there are export consignments with less than INR One Lakh. But in the era of Garmenting for mass

consumption both in national and international markets, this could be a bane.

As Consumerism is taking centre stage post industrialization era, today’s consumer orientation on textiles are value for money, appeal and in tune with market trends and is least on source of material. As most of the textiles consumption of men, women and children are in the form garments- both apparel and non apparel, the consumer is not vary of source of cloth production- whether Organised or Decentralised sector and thus it is the time to strengthen the links in the Textile Value Chain. The policy framework should orient the decentralized sector units (of MSME) to 1) Consolidate the capacity – capacity augmentation within the unit 2) Quality orientation 3) better professionalism and managerial inputs to face nuances of national and international markets. The decentralized sector which is clothing the nation should unite and come out as a combined force and should take Indian Textile Industry to the next level “If you want to walk fast go alone. If you want to go far walk together”

HOW TRÜTZSCHLER HELPS CUSTOMERS MOVE TOWARDS DATA DRIVEN DECISIONS Operating and managing a mill has its challenges, but skilled, loyal staff and their experience helped forming and maintaining successful businesses.

The increasing demand for flexibility and quality in the textile industry is nowadays usually confronted with lack of skilled staff and high fluctuation thereof. One approach to address the issue is using data driven decisions in combination with the experience available.

Customers still using a shift book or wondering what happened during the night shift, have the step of digitisation ahead of them – gathering available information digitally.

T-DATA is Trützschler’s web based monitoring system and helps customers focus on the bottlenecks of production and concentrate the resources on the right spot. With the new My Production app, upper management sees at one glance whether their production is running smoothly or not. For this purpose, the app uses a very simple colour coding: a green indicator means “everything is OK”, a redcoloured indicator means “Act now”.

It has never been easier to optimise settings and reduce downtimes or to monitor trends in production and malfunctions. Production processes can be analysed efficiently by viewing data over a specific period.

The user can either choose between one of the readyto-use standard profiles for production, maintenance or quality or easily create individual charts and tables with data of interest. A standard external interface allows data to be used in customer monitoring, ERP or maintenance systems. The possibilities are endless. Obviously, T-DATA takes your data to the next level, but how does it get there?

The Next Level Has Been Reached One of Trützschler’s customers in Turkey has integrated T-DATA into their ERP and production planning system.

Orders are generated and tracked through the production process using bar code scanners in the workshop. Once an order has been scanned, T-DATA tracks the production and quality data for this specific order, allowing an easy analysis at any time.

The progress itself is reported to the production planning system, which then assigns the next order. As shown in this example, the exchange of information even throughout data systems is an upcoming topic. But one can start small with some simple steps towards data driven decisions.

5 Simple Steps to Data Driven Decisions - Increasing Mill Performance and Ready-To-Use 1. The new My Production app provides a way to be best informed anywhere 2. Use T-DATA’s fault analysis to focus on most affected machines and faults in the mill 3. Let T-DATA notify staff via e-mail/SMS in case of malfunctions, setpoint monitoring, maintenance, etc.

4. Receive shift and can data reports via e-mail or analyse inside T-DATA 5. Use real-time data during your discussions and meetings Ready to shape the future

High-End Sensors Made by Trützschler

The main goal of Industry 4.0 in the upcoming years will be, to optimise machines and supply chains, reaching the level of autonomy. This can be achieved with the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT), which is a network of connected devices exchanging information and orchestrating themselves.

A textile machine – irrelevant of its manufacturer – contains a high number of sensors to fulfil its purpose.

Trützschler develops and manufactures additional highend sensors, to increase the data quality and thus enables customers to interact early in the process chain.

This concept has been in use in the Trützschler LINE COMMANDER long before the term Industry 4.0 was publicly known. Merged with new technologies and the resulting possibilities, Trützschler is ready to shape the future

The card’s NEPCONTROL sensor for instance, monitors the number of neps, seed coats and trash particles in the card sliver. Deviations are measured in real time and not hours or days later during sporadic laboratory tests. This ensures, that each metre of sliver in the can has been checked. In conjunction with T-DATA, one can instantly see a potential quality decrease of the incoming material or if certain machines are affected by wearing.

The data monitored by those sensors is sent through Gateways to T-DATA and stored in a highperformance database, only one click away.

INTERVIEW

We want to integrate the entire value chain; cotton/ MMF fibre is first value chain part & Spinning / Yarn is second part of chain. This both chain covered in this exhibition and weaving is the next step we want to go ahead. Fabric exhibition will do in other market like mumbai, Bangalore etc. not in Surat, as world know surat is manufacture of fabrics and have huge wholesale market. We are thinking to do exhibition in Dubai in near future.

President Vision Mr. Hetal Mehta, President Mr. Ketan Desai, Vice President The Southern Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Idea for Yarn Expo Surat Surat is predominantly associated with Fabrics. Raw material of Fabrics is Yarn. Yarn expo chairman and vicechairman of Madhusudan Group Shri Girdhar Gopal Mundra suggested starting this Expo under the banner of SGCCI. “If yarn quality is good, fabric will be good, so we have first decided to do Yarn Conclave with few Yarn Stalls but with huge response this has been started with full fledge exhibition. We will do this exhibition every year and grow exponentially in some year.”

Different types of yarns are available in the world; Exhibition is awareness activity about the availability of yarn. Only through this kind of expo, we create awareness. Fabric manufacturers can explore different quality of yarns and make a quality and variety of fabrics from it.

Why Surat?

Surat is hub of MMF, still many natural fiber manufacturer have displayed their fibers. Cotton fibers are available in Surat in miniscule quantity. World consumption is 60% MMF and 40% Cotton.

Yarn Expo is expected to felicitate new business alliances, launching of new products and services, expansion of sales network of MSMEs of Textile sector. This event will help the MSMEs not only from Surat or South Gujarat, but also from all over the country to showcase their innovations, quality standards and will broaden their market share in India and Abroad.

Trade associations like SGCCI play a vital role in organizing such Trade Fairs and provide a platform to bring together exhibitors and visitors for overall promotion and development of the textile value chain. It is imperative to organize such Shows not only to face the challenging scenario of global textile industry but to provide a much needed push to the overall value chain of the Textile Industry.

Foreign 140 buyers registered Online for Expo. We are expecting buyers from South and other clusters of textile.

Exhibitor we only need Indian companies, no foreign exhibitor focus as of now, due to trade deficit. We want to sell our products, so we will call foreign buyers not exhibitors. Purpose of exhibition is for growth of industry, buyers will come to Surat, as its textile Manchester in Gujarat.

Around 11000 buyers have visited Yarn Expo out of which around 225 buyers were from various cities of India like Bhiwandi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Salem, Tirupur, Guntur, Ludhiana and some of the buyers were from foreign countries like Iran, Tehran, Canada and USA.

‘‘The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.
