Pilling In Knitwear And Wovens

“Chemical Engineering” Wool:

“Providing Future Opportunities”

( 화학가공 기술을 통한 양모 산업의 미래에 대한 기회 )

Chemical Engineering of wool

What does it mean ?

• Chemical based technology.( 화학가공 )• Adds or induces new properties to wool.( 울에

새로운 기능성 도입 )• Meets today’s/future demands of the consumer.(

소비자 수요에 부응 )• Adds value.( 부가가치 )• Provides a marketing platform for manufacturers

and retailers.( 제조업체와 유통업체간의 마켓팅 고리 )

Techno Finishes( 테크노 가공 )


• Performance( 물성 )• Handle( 촉감 )• Protection( 보호 )• Comfort( 편안함 )• Visual( 시각 )• Well being( 만족감 )

Introduction

Through “Chemical Engineering” of wool the following can be altered/induced

Chemical Engineering Wool for

Performance( 물성 변화 )


Easy Care( 이지케어 – 간편한 손질과 세탁 )

• Top• Loose Wool• Yarns• Fabrics (Knitted/Woven)• Garments

Technologies well established for making wool “Easy Care”.


Low Pill ( 저 필링 )

• No easy “Chemical” based solution.

• Approaches include: - Increasing surface friction

- Fibre-Fibre bonding.

( 표면마찰과 섬유간 본딩 )

Note: Both approaches tend to have negative effect on handle/fluidity.


• Causes( 원인 )– Fibre profile( 섬유성분 )– Yarn twist and fabric

tightness( 연수 / 직물 밀도 )

– Finishing, poor milling and over softening( 가공 )

• Remedies( 제거 )– Reversal of causes(

원인요인 )– Inter-fibre resin bonding(

수지에 의한 본딩 )

Low-pilling


• Yarn engineering( 사의 구조 )plus

• Special polymer finish(폴리머 가공 )

• Suitcase ready knitwear

• Travel smart in wool

Anti-crumple ( 구김 방지 )


Handle


• Luxury• Low prickle• Soft TEC

Untreated Soft Lustre

Soft Lustre ( 소프트 러스터 )


• Luxury handle

• TEC performance

• Durable softness

• Reduced prickle

Soft Lustre for worsteds ( 소프트 러스터 소모제품 )


Basolan 88

• Similar to Soft-Lustre.• Improved handle• Improved brightness• Carried out on purpose

built ANDAR Basolan applicator.


Softening( 유연 가공 )

• Advent of silicone softeners.( 실리콘 유연제 )

- Amino functional (Hydrophobic- 소수성 )

- Glycol functional (Hyrophilic- 친수성 )

Note: Pre-treatment allows for more effective/permanent effect.


Handle Modification ( 촉감 개선 )

• Cool and dry (Linen type handle) Aqualin

• Greasy


Protection


• Deolaine enhances wool’s already good effect

• Deodorant molecule has tremendous capacity for absorption e.g: Body odour

• Environmentally neutral & safe• Re-charges “automatically”

upon washing.

• Deodorant molecules firmly

attached to the wool fibre.

Durability of the Deolaine finish ( 처리제의 내구성 )


Vitamin E ( 비타민 처리가공 )

• Slow release from garment to skin

• Widely used in skin creams/cosmetics.

• Acts like an anti-oxidant to protect the skin.

• Applications : Next to skin apparel.


• Stain Resist• Stain Release• Stain Blocking

Dealing with Stains( 방오가공 )


• Silicones• Fluorocarbons• Waxes

Stain/Water Repellent( 방오 / 발수가공 )


• Zirpro (exhaust)

• Firestop (padding)

Flame-retardant ( 방염 )


Insect-repellent ( 방충 )

• Slow release insect repellent. (permanency)

• Mentholglycol NF2• Made from natural

organically grown plants.• Particularly effective

against Ticks and Mosquitoes


Anti-Tobacco( 담배냄새 제거 )

• Protection against tobacco smoke.

• Liberty Lemon PK0046A.

• Slow release citrus/bergamot fragrance.

• Counteracts the bad smell of smoke.


Anti-Cellulite( 피부 트임 방지 )

• Slow release Kelp (BD1).• High Iodine content,

combats poor circulation (problem with increasing age).

• Supports the immune and lymphatic systems.

• Reduces rate of cellulite formation.


Comfort


Softening Processes( 유연가공 )

• Processes which reduce Prickle.

- Soft Lustre

- Basolan X-tra/88

- Softening


• Dry climates and air conditioned offices can lead to static build up.

• Static in clothing causes discomfort. Garment cling, and minor shocks.

• Static build-up can be hazardous.

• Disperstat, long- established in the carpet sector.

• Now available in apparel

Static Control for Comfort ( 정전기 제어 )


• Improves comfort by reducing shocks and eliminating cling

• Improves safety by preventing build-up of static .

• Durable to machine washing.

• No effect on wool’s natural properties.

Benefits of the Disperstat anti-static finish( 영구 대전 방지가공 )


Skin Moisturiser ( 피부 보습제 )

• Aloe Vera (106)• Slow release of moisturiser

onto the skin.• Aloe Vera well

known/established in many household products.

• Application: Next to skin products.


Skin Coolant ( 냉감처리 가공 )

• Slow release coolant• Quest Ice (Q1)• Reacts with enzymes

present on the skin, to provide a cooling sensation.

• Same product used in cosmetics, creams to do the same.


Visual


Increasing Brightness ( 선명도 증가 )

• Lustre• Soft-Lustre• Basolan X-tra


Lacquered effects ( 락카 효과 )

• Fashion in “New Denim”• Lacquered wool• New development


“Antique/Old” ( 워시드 효과 )

• Led by the Denim industry.

• Washed out effects• Frosty


Visuals “New Optics” ( 뉴 옵틱스 )

• Embedded particles.

- Glitter

- Minute glass beads

- Translucent particles

• New Optics

Chemical Engineering Wool For

Well-being


Sensory Perception Technology (SPT)( 감각 인지 가공 )

Many of the new finishes rely on Sensory Perception Technology (SPT).


Sensory Perception Technology

• Time release for freshness and protection

• Creating intelligent textiles and environments

• Tiny particles held within the fibre or environment activated by touch


Built - In ( 내구적 적용 )

• For fibres and fabrics – clothing or interiors

• Works by ‘cationically welding’ the particles to the fibres

• Allows a particular time release freshness to become an inherent part of the textiles character


• Personal Aromatherapy sessions– Lavender– Sandalwood– Rose– Lemon– Peppermint

• Built in miniaturisation– Aloe Vera– Vitamin D

Enhanced well-being ( 행복한 삶의 혜택 )

Marketing
