Fengge Nonwoven, on the development trends of fabrics for disposable hygiene

products, and one by Huo Yisong,PhD, Sr. Director, Product Development – Asia, for

PGI on Asian hygiene market trends and nonwoven solutions. Marc Newman and

Joanna Wang of Fitesa China offered delegates their perspectives on feminine

disposable hygiene market and trends.

2. Solid success at Techtextil 2015.

Around 42,000 visitors from 116 countries visited Techtextil and Texprocess 2015

shows in Frankfurt and even an unexpected rail strike in Germany failed to dampen

the momentum. Some 1,662 exhibitors from 54 countries took part in the

showcase for new technical textiles, nonwovens and processing technologies.“Not

only was there a fantastic atmosphere at the fair and in the sectors, there were

more new products to be seen than ever before,” said Detlef Braun of organiser

Messe Frankfurt’s management.

A huge number of international visitors profited from a shuttle-bus service from

Frankfurt Airport to the exhibition centre and back, organised at short notice in

response to the strike, while many German visitors took advantage of the

additional parking facilities made available at the Messe.During a tour of the fair,

Germany’s Parliamentary State Secretary at the Federal Ministry for Economic

Affairs and Energy, Brigitte Zypries, had the opportunity to learn about the

numerous new products along the entire textile value chain.“Techtextil and

Page 12

Texprocess show that, even in the age of Industry 4.0, textiles are the stuff from

which the future is made,” she said.The range of technical textiles and nonwovens

was once again characterised by application diversity for the end-use areas

including agriculture, automotive, construction, apparel, energy and medical. A key

theme at Texprocess was so-called Industry 4.0 – fully-automatic, digitalised and

decentralised production.“Industry 4.0 has great potential for the garment and

leather technology sector, which needs fast and fully-integrated production

processes to cater for the numerous collections,” said Dr Andreas Seidl, CEO of

Human Solutions AG, one of the leading suppliers of 3D body-scanning systems. In

addition to cost optimisation, these new machines also save energy. Fully

integrated sewing and fixing machines, as well as cloud-based 3D product

development were prominent.

3. Oerlikon Neumag to focus on technical nonwoven applications at ANEX and SINCE Shanghai . The group’s Oerlikon Neumag, which delivers solutions for all important nonwoven production processes, will focus on nonwoven and meltblown plants for technical applications at this year’s ANEX and SINCE, the largest nonwovens conference that takes place from 13-15 May in Shanghai. Economical, energy-efficient production Weight and production costs play an increasingly important role in the production of technical nonwovens. Thinner, lighter, more efficient materials are demanded by the market, the company reports. Oerlikon Neumag’s one-step spunbond process is developed to meet these demands and convince with a combination of effectiveness and productivity. Production costs can be reduced by up to 20%. The company also offers its customers the complete process from spinning to roll goods for geotextiles, bitumen and underlayments, from a single source. Meltblown technology


Page 13

The optimized meltblown technology defines new demands in the production of nonwovens for filtration, according to the manufacturer. the Oerlikon Neumag meltblown process is said to enable the cost-efficient production of meltblown nonwovens with quality requirements of tomorrow.

Airlaid technology for thin nonwovens

Nowadays there is a demand for the production of lightweight, airlaid nonwovens with economically attractive production speeds and plant throughputs. On this sector, the forming head of the Oerlikon Neumag airlaid technology sets standards with a high uniformity and homogenous fibre laydown, also with extremely thin nonwovens, the company reports.

4. Nonwovens in filtration The added value of nonwovens in filtration lies in their versatility and their ability to remove particulates from fluids. Nonwoven filter media are used to filter drinking water, but also beer, milk and dairy products, oils, fuels and other liquids. Nonwovens can be tailor-made according to the nature, volume and pressure of the liquid to be filtered and the type of contaminant to be removed. Nonwoven filter media contribute to cleaner drinking water throughout the world, the association reports. Alongside other filter materials, they enable the effective filtration of drinking water, providing significant improvements to public health across the globe.

Improving quality of life “Providing better access to drinking water is key to improving the lives of people throughout the world,” said Pierre Conrath, Sustainability and Public Affairs Director at EDANA.“Today, millions of people still suffer and die from water-borne diseases which could easily be prevented. Every year, diarrhoea alone kills over 2 million people, mostly children. Nonwovens can play a role in changing this, by providing effective, affordable and flexible solutions to make water safe to drink.”

6. Taiwan Textile Federation explores Indian partnership

The Taiwan Textile Federation (TTF) has expressed its interest to partner Indian

counterparts to promote technical and composite textiles, according to a report

on the Textile Association of India (TAI) website. The TTF showed its interest in

collaboration with the Indian textile sector at Technotex 2015 in Mumbai

recently.The TTF and the Bureau of Foreign Trade (BOFT) had set up the Taiwan

Pavilion jointly with Taiwan Composites Association (TCA) at Technotex 2015.The

Taiwan pavilion displayed the country’s latest textiles and composites with quality

products which showcased pioneering technologies. Taiwan participated in a big

way this year with 18 companies producing high-end composites, innovative

technical textiles, raw materials, accessories and non-woven machinery. “The

need of the hour for Indian manufacturing is quality, reliability and consistency.

Taiwan is one of the very few suppliers in the world who can fulfill the above

criteria and help the industry grow exponentially,” the TAI report quoted Sean


Page 15

Tsai of TTF as saying.Taiwan’s functional textiles market has invested a lot of

resources in textile technology innovation. They now produce fabrics, which are

anti-bacteria, water repellent, and moisture transferring amongst others. This is

why most of the largest sportswear and outerwear manufacturers and retailers

usually source active wear fabric from Taiwan.Taiwan has an international

reputation for technical textile development. At Technotex, Taiwanese companies

exhibited a wide range of application fields like protective, performance

functional, eco-friendly, mobile, nonwoven and new materials for architectural

and geotechnical construction. (SH)

ABSTRACTS FROM PUBLISHED LITERATURE

1. APPLICATIONS OF NONWOVENS IN MEDICAL TEXTILES Aniket Bhute, Pravin Bhokare, Ashish Hulle, Asian Technical Textiles,2015

Abstract

Medical textiles are a type of technical textiles which offer a variety of technical

and functional properties having application in the field of medical and clinical care.

These are manufactured primarily for their technical performance and functional

properties rather than their aesthetic or decorative characteristics. The very main

objective is to improve quality of health care delivery through disposable products

and to enhance the standard in health care delivery by minimizing the risk of

infections. The medical textiles have diversified with new materials and innovative

designs recently the application in textiles has started going beyond the usual

wound care, incontinence pads. Plasters etc. Latest innovation i.e. wide variety of

woven, nonwoven. Knitted forms of textile are increasingly finding their way into a

variety of surgical procedures. Nonwovens are developed to impart special

properties to a product. Here the advantage of nonwovens compared with textiles,

e.g. fabrics, is the high economic efficiency of production and their performance

capability and easy disposability. The nonwoven manufacturing process basically

consists of web laying and web bonding. The web laying mostly consist of air and

dry while the web bonding consists of mechanical, chemical and thermal bonding.

The basic concept employed in making a nonwoven fabric is to transform fibre

based material into two-dimensional sheet structure with fabric like properties

such as porosity, flexibility and mechanical integrity. Nonwovens offer many

advantages in all types of applications.

Keywords: Nonwoven fabric, Health care, Special properties ,Performance and

disposability.
