Techtextil to exhibit innovations in technical textiles
March 15, 2013 - United States Of America
Leading technical textile and nonwovens companies from around the world will showcase the latest products and advanced technologies in textiles, nonwovens and materials during Techtextil North America 2013 this month in Anaheim, California.
We are pleased to announce the first German Pavilion at Techtextil North America on the West Coast. The companies in the pavilion represent the wide range of textile technology, yarns, textile materials as well as the German technical textile association.
Some of the highlights of the 2013 exhibit hall include:
BASF Corporation (Booth 312)
The Dispersions & Pigments Division In North America offers a comprehensive portfolio of resins, binders, latex, pigments and effect pigments, colorants, and systems to meet specific application needs for the coatings, construction, and printing and packaging markets. BASF’s innovative products also help manufacturers in the adhesives, nonwovens and fiber bonding industries meet functional and performance demands. The addition of key product areas such as formulation additives, rheology modifiers, light stabilizers, photoinitiators, and antioxidants significantly enhances the existing BASF product portfolio for these markets.
Fidlock GmbH (German Pavilion)
Fidlock magnetic fastener technology delivers unique solutions for the closing of helmets, backpacks, cycle accessories, all manner of apparel and a wide variety of additional applications. It features one-handed operation, high reliability and provides a strong feeling of security. Following the successful launch of SNAP push closures, Fidlock focuses its presence at Techtextil North America on demonstrating SNAP pull, a new technology which utilises a dragging function. A new “invisible look” enables designers more fexibiliy in both product design and logo placement.
An updated range of the latest SNAP push, called the SNAP push glossy, featuring a new gloss finish with round edging made from high quality polycarbonate suitable for 20mm wide ribbon will also be shown at their booth. In addition, two new slim versions of the existing SNAP buckle, called SNAP buckle flat 30 and SNAP buckle flat 40, ideal for belt buckles.
Kufner Textil GmbH (German Pavilion)
Kufner Textil GmbH, Germany, is one of the world’s leading textile companies in the field of specialised textiles. Their products range from, woven, knits, nonwovens, chemical finishings, adhesive bonding, glue fabrics, SmartTex, heating surfaces and stabilization/ reinforcement of leather and textiles. Kufner’s THS material is a heated textile that has been developed for many applications. At Techtextil North America Kufner presents the latest versions of their new and innovative THS Textile Heating System produced on a ground breaking state of the art knitting machine commissioned in January 2013.
Mainsite Technologies (German Pavilion) Mainsite Technologies, the expert for renewable technical fiber and membrane fiber plants, is gaining a foothold in the fiber market. Exhibiting at Techtextil North America will expand their presence in the US market. Mainsite Technologies estimates a positive growth on the West Coast and in North America.
