and Machinery - January 2004 Edition

Innovations are helping companies around the world to differentiate their products
and maintain an advantage over their competitors. BASF's new superabsorbent fibre
offers diaper makers opportunities for producing thinner products. Garment makers
may incorporate electroconductive fibres to protect the wearer from potentially
harmful radiation emitted by palmtop computers and mobile phones. A new
spontaneously biodegradable polyester fibre has been developed which offers stretch,
high bulk and a soft handle. UK scientists are looking at depolymerising and
reconstructing polymers to aid recycling.

In fabrics, hydroentanglement is improving the appearance and handle of woven and
knitted structures. Cargill's polylactide polymers could lead to cost effective
biodegradable nonwovens for diapers. Nano-Tex is imparting permanent properties to
fabrics by encapsulating agents such as pharmaceuticals, sun-block compounds and
dyes in nanobeads. Milliken has a new fabric for controlling the airflow in
automobile air conditioning. A new felt offers graduated electrical conductivity.
And smart "e-type" textiles incorporate microelectronic components to detect faint
sounds and pinpoint them on the battlefield.

A new netting helps to retain water and re-establish vegetation in arid areas.
Huesker Synthetic has a new composite fabric web geotextile for reinforcing subsoil.
A new fabric helps to reduce hazards posed by static in flexible bulk containers.
And in apparel, Malden Mills has developed a conductive yarn for electrically
heating clothing.
