First of all we would like to thank all our
customers for their trust during this year. We believe our links to
be the key of success for the next to come. Despite a particular
economic context, our activity is growing and brings us new
challenges. This is above all owed to many of our customers and we
are very grateful for that. Be sure that we keep things on track so
that we are ready to make new great developments together. We wish
you success, happiness and health. Happy new year

Vectran
spun yarns improvement
A
new fibre lubricant has been worked out by Kuraray and will be
tested with some of the productions in the beginning of this year.
We hope this material will enhance quality at different stages :
A sensible decrease of waste is expected at the
stretch breaking step. A reduction of neps that would make the final textile
structure clearer, especially with thin yarn on which the effect is
more visible. More info

Self
twisted yarn advantages in electrical transfer application
Stainless steel conductive spun yarns exhibit different
performance whether it is under relaxed condition or submitted to
mechanical loading. When bending the yarn or loading under tensile,
fibre’s positions move and contact areas do not keep the same. As a
consequence its conductivity changes in an uncontrollable
manner.
A
development about an intelligent textile structure made us compare
and evaluate different solutions that would reduce this effect. This
study led us to focus on the stability of conductivity and
to consider the self twisted yarn structure. It shows better
performances compared to other spun yarns. With appropriate
settings, the pure stainless steel self twisted yarn has a variation
of conductivity of only 10% while submitted to a load of 70 cN
whereas the conventional spun yarn difference is 60%. see the figure
bellow.
Objective: To develop pure self
twisted yarn without price raising compared to ring spun yarns. This
is a great interest for woven conductive fabrics that need accurate
signal conduction and it is an alternative to monofilament which
have limited flexibility. More info

New website on
line
We start this new year with a
new website. Our hope is that will get your interest in IMATTEC if
you have not known us before and will reinforce our cooperation if
we are already working together. We run many developments which are
most of the time totally confidential. Obviously it prevents us from
presenting the latest developments. Nevertheless you will find more
accurate description about materials we use to work. The newsletter
has also been improved in order to keep you well informed about our
materials and processes related developments that may be relevant to
your projects. You can subscribe on line in the «news» part.

New team member again
!
We are
pleased to introduce Stéphanie Maton. She will be assistant
at the commercial department. « It is very exciting to work in such
a company, where products varies from yarn to fabrics or even gloves
! I have experienced in textile industry, especially in bobbins
dying supply chain and this gives me good insurance to start this
new challenge » says Stephanie.
