Description:
Functional additives for future-oriented markets
Only Hombtian anatase microcrystals make it possible to deluster and process naturally transparent man-made fibers. At Sachtleben, we are now focussing on completely new horizons with innovative functional additives for the spun-fibers industry.
In many cases, only the right inorganic additive makes possible particular fiber properties and thus opens the way to new functionalities in man-made fiber textiles. Glossy fibers, for instance, require a special gloss additive. This additive has no effect on the polymer's original gloss, but nonetheless assures trouble-free operation of the fiber manufacturing process.
A newly emerging requirement made on modern textile fibers is the demand for effective protection of the human skin against the harmful effects of UV radiation. Special UV additives from Sachtleben meet these demanding standards. Anti-static, anti-bacterial and flame-retarding properties are also equally a part of the modern requirement profile that a large range of contemporary fibers are required to fulfil. We are working on integrated solutions for these special needs.
Hombright S: The additive for gloss fibers
Not only the demand for delustered fibers is booming on the world's market. The potential applications for glossy fibers are also becoming more and more diverse.
Our Hombright S innovation makes it possible to produce glossy man-made fibers with new formulations which, thanks to our special additive, can be processed without difficulty using the conventional spinning machine. With Hombright S in the fiber, it becomes possible to create a specifically textured fiber surface (peak and valley texture) which achieves improved thread guidance and optimum thread transport thanks to its improved frictional performance. Unlike the situation when titanium dioxide is used, the original high gloss of the polymer fibers is retained.
Hombright S, a specially modified barium sulfate, provides precision tailored optical properties for the fibers' polymer matrix. Hombright S nonetheless acts as an individual particle in the fiber, generating the required characteristics. In short: These properties ensure not only attractive and high-gloss fibers, but also enhance the spinning machines' productivity by optimizing the fibers' frictional behaviour, minimizing the yarn break rates and allowing an even staining of the fiber.
