Lenzing and Jeanologia Host a Webinar on Laser Light Sensitive Fiber
Lenzing, a worldwide leader in wood-based fibers, has created a technical brochure detailing the technical advantages when using the latest laser laundry technologies in conjunction with the latest fabrics and garments with TENCEL™ Lyocell branded fibers.
Traditionally fashion laundry has been a low-tech industry driven by manual labor and poor environmental standards. However the apparel industry is starting to turn to technology – not only to reduce its reliance on workers, but also to drive new product development and new environmental thinking.
As Jeanologia have developed their business to become the leading thinkers and suppliers of sustainable laundry machines and techniques, new opportunities have arisen for fabrics with TENCEL™ Lyocell.
Under the banner of “Light Sensitive”, Lenzing and Jeanologia have conducted a study to demonstrate the advantages of laser technology when using fabrics with TENCEL™ Lyocell.
“Effective laser marking requires quick and effective dye removal, clear image definition, sharp image outline and smooth grey scale transition. Fabrics that contain TENCEL™ Lyocell have the above desired characteristics and are the perfect fabrics to work with laser” said Begoña Garcia, Senior Technologist at Jeanologia,
Jeanologia is a Valencian based consultancy who works and collaborates with many textile and apparel companies, focusing on industrial solutions in garment finishing, developing under sound principles of ecology, efficiency and ethics.
“The relationship between TENCEL™ Lyocell & Jeanologia dates back to 1994 and between then and now we have participated in many different projects together. The relationship is such that they now are highly familiar with each-others know-how, such that working together has become almost second nature.” said Michael Kininmonth, Project Manager from Lenzing.
