Application area: military clothing, protective clothing. Even t-shirts and underwear are capable of providing electro-magnetic protection thanks to nano-technology. W. Zimmermann GmbH & Co. KG (Germany) presents a 'textile construction' that has high shielding properties.
It is based on an innovative yarn technology and the ribbon-like distribution of metalised yarns in the fabric.
Optics and warmth
Today, more and more fluorescent textiles are being used in every day applications. The provide protection and at the same time create an optical effect.
The textile research institute Thüringen-Vogtland (Germany) is very active in this field with its Elitex yarns.
The company, 'textile interfaces', is involved in design projects using these and other innovations in the field of smart and intelligent textiles. Thanks to their capacity to conduct electricity, these yarns also open up brand new application possibilities in the field of thermal textiles. This is evidenced, for example, by their use in knitted garments and children's seats.
Comfort
In addition to PVC and PU coatings, Polycoating GmbH (Germany) presents a new generation of membranes. The technical benefit of this new compact membrane is that it does not swell up and is water permeable, i.e. breathable. This provides advantages not only in terms of comfort wearability, but also offers improved washability and abrasion resistance. The coating films can can be constructed to provide reflective properties or made from brightly-coloured yellow or orange.
