Innovative Materials in Processing Crisis?
Amann Replies with Material ID Card
When new fabrics prove their performance ?
?the seams often fail
The trend of innovative high-tech materials is seen all the way through women?s wear as well as in men's fashion. Whether they are laid very tight, provided with a special new coating, very thin, almost adhesive-free or papertouched ? fashion fabrics offer almost unlimited versatility in qualities with a new grip and new looks.
Fabric manufacturers and the improvement industry create always-new material surfaces, which demand always more know-how in processing. This is why testing comes before producing. Without that it is almost impossible to realise the more and more important adjustment of sewing conditions to these innovative materials.
Solutions for Seams
With regard to this situation Amann developed the AMANN Material ID Card in order to provide support for fabric suppliers as well as for confectioners. This includes standardised processing tests, which will be carried through at the AMANN sewing laboratory under defined conditions.
We check the sent in materials for the major problems regarding processing techniques:
- seam pucker (AATCC standard)
- snags
- mechanical damage on knitted and woven fabrics
These tests result in detailed processing recommendations, which ? considering all relevant sewing parameters ? guarantee an optimised seam. Fabric suppliers will so have the chance to get important processing information early in order to be able to offer confectioners the necessary help regarding the processing of new materials.
The Amann material ID card will offer confectioners concrete details regarding the major sewing parameters, which are of importance for an optimised sewing technique in production.
In addition these recommendations have been entered into a database at the AMANN sewing laboratory and are available at any time in order to be able to answer all user questions. With this AMANN material ID card we would like to offer a costefficient instrument to the entire textile chain with the aim to achieve an optimum in product quality. So that seams will also be able to prove their performance.
Mit dem AMANN-Verarbeitungspass möchten wir der gesamten textilen Kette ein kostengünstiges Instrument zur Erzielung einer optimalen Produktqualität anbieten. Damit auch die Nähte zeigen, was sie können.
