Full textThe textile industry must always find ways to reinvent itself and look for alternative options, as the coating and lamination industries are vital for a better environment. A question that needs answering is if coating on textiles are used more than needed. This bachelor thesis is written in cooperation with Artex AB and revolves around the suns light spectrum that consists of rays of 320 to 2500 nm. Materials that irradiate can either absorb, reflect or transmit these wavelengths. The rays alternative routes added with each other is always one hundred percent, which means that through increasing the reflecting capacity the other two will decrease. The most interesting part of this study, was to examine the ability of the light spectrum for material, and take in to consideration it’s construction, structure and color. Textile materials are often coated to add qualities and, in this case, to increase reflecting quality. This study is trying to prove, that it's a step in the wrong direction when it comes to the functionality of a sunshade product and for a reduced impact on the environment. As coating generally stiffens materials it’s contuerproductive with regards to keeping the resilience for the fabric, which is decisive for this type of product. The wrinkles go hand in hand with the fabrics coated surface. Since this project focuses on an existing sunshade product that will be used inside of a car, the heat radiation and the undulations within a certain wavelength that requires reflection will be focused on. The purpose with the study was to examine if an uncoated white fabric can achieve the same function in a sunshade as the current fabric in the product. In the experiments, four fabrics with different structures were used to complete such a comprehensive study as possible. These four fabrics were: one satin, one warp knitted and two plain weave, where one of them was more faint and sparse than the other. Each fabric was coated with a color pigment to analyze the possibilities of a high reflective material that still has elastic potential. The tests that were made was: determination of color fastness, total reflection, light transmit and a wrinkle test. Further on these differences were reviewed, and then concluded that the coating, in hope of increasing the reflection, is negligible. But also, to prove that a fabrics construction can keep its resilience even with a coated surface. These values have been reviewed and then compared with each other and against a reference fabric that the writers took part of from Artex AB. A warp knitted fabric was able to maintain its elastic ability regardless of a coated surface, and also shows good total reflection. This warp knitted fabric showed, together with the satin, good total reflection when they were uncoated and had good resilience. In this test for total reflection, it was proven that a white dense fabric reflects better than a coated fabric in the visible spectra of light. To be able to conclude if a white uncoated fabric with these constructions (satin and warp knitting) would be more useful for a sunshade, further studies had to be made, to see how much of the total reaction that is diffuse and specular.

Full textIn this degree project within sustainable energy engineering a comparison is made between two textiles, polyester and viscose. Energy use, chemical revenue and cost is analysed and the result is then compared using a SWOT analysis.Polyester is the most common synthetic fibre and a material that is widely used in clothes. The fibre, which is very strong, is extracted from petroleum. Petroleum is a fossil oil, which isn't renewable and breaks down very slowly in nature. Big amounts of the earth's oil resources are consumed by manufacturing of polyester and a lot of environmentally damaging chemicals is released in the process.Viscose is a semi-synthetic fibre. The starting material to produce viscose is a raw material with as high cellulose content as possible. The cellulose undergoes many steps before it merges to a yellowish solution called viscose. To spin this, the viscose undergoes further processes before the yarn is complete. During a manufacturing process for viscose a lot of different chemicals is added and a big amount of water is used.In the result, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats for both the textiles are presented in a SWOT analysis. From this analysis the textiles can be compared in a clear way.In regard of energy use manufacturing of polyester demands more energy than the manufacturing of viscose. The amount of damaging chemicals is higher for viscose, due to the fact that chemicals are needed during the whole manufacturing process. This chemical revenue can be reduced if a closed system is used, but unfortunately the use of these vary depending on where in the world the fabric is located. In regard of the market-price, yarn made of polyester has a relatively low price compared to viscose. Also fibre made of polyester has a lower price than viscose.

Full textThis thesis focuses on the mass media cover of ”Smart textiles”. The Swedish”smart” textiles are developed in Borås and are a mix of ordinary textile and new technology. I analyse the article with a text analysis method, looking at themes and the language’s propositions in focus. Context and the actors in the articles are also important in the analysis.
Many women occur as developers of the new smart technical product, a field often knowed as a typical male subject. My theories were then focused on women and technology and the gender aspects. I also use theories about medial enthusiasm, and how media use to discuss and report about new technology. Optimistic visions about the smart textiles are common in the articles, also the local journalists and the local media. The smart textile’s main context is the region itself, and the smart textile is important for Borås local and regional development. Technology is an important asset in region development and smart textile technology in Borås is expected to create new job opportunities making Borås an attraction region to move to.

Full textDetta examensarbete har utförts i samarbete med Asko Appliances AB i syfte att förbättraenergieffektiviteten hos företagets torktumlare. För att utröna hur parametrarna last, trummansvarvtal samt valkhöjd påverkar energiförbrukningen hos en frånluftstorktumlare har 22 försökuppdelade i 3 olika försöksserier utförts. Varvtalet har varierats mellan 45 till 60 rpm ochbomullslaster från 2 till 8kg har granskats. Valkhöjder av 30 till 90mm har använts. För attanalysera resultaten från den första försöksserien har en statistisk modell använts. Dennamodell beskriver hur de olika parametrarna påverkar energieffektiviteten. Det har visats attlastens storlek följt av varvtalet har störst inverkan på torkningens energieffektivitet.Valkarnas höjd påverkade inte resultaten. I försöksserie två utreds vilket trumvarvtal som gerlägst energiförbrukning hos torktumlaren vid lasten 2kg. Resultaten visar att varvtalet 55rpmgav högst energieffektivitet. Om Asko Appliances skulle höja trumvarvtalet hos sinatorktumlare från dagens 52rpm till 55rpm skulle energieffektiviteten för små laster öka medungefär 4%. I försöksserie tre har höga valkar (90mm) jämförts med låga valkar (30mm) vidtorkning av lasten 8kg. De lägre valkarna uppvisade en något högre energieffektivitet vilketsannolikt beror på den något större trumvolymen som användandet av låga valkar medför.
This student thesis has been made in cooperation with Asko Appliances AB. The aim is toreduce the energy consumption of the tumble dryers produced by the company. A totalnumber of 22 tests, divided into three series, have been carried out in an open cycle tumbledryer. Results from these tests were used for determining how the parameters drum speed, thecloths weight and the height of the drum paddles affects the energy efficiency of an opencycle tumble dryer. Drum speed has been varied from 45 to 60 rpm and weight load from 2 to8kg. Paddle heights between 30 and 90mm have been used. To analyze the results from thefirst series a statistical model have been applied. This model describes how the differentparameters affect the energy efficiency of the dryer. It has been proven that the weight loadfollowed by the drum speed has the most significant impact on the energy efficiency of thetumble dryer. The height of the paddles did not affect the results. In the second test series theenergy efficiency is studied when the drum speed is varied. The weight load used was 2kg.The results showed that a drum speed of 55rpm gave the highest energy efficiency. If thedrum speed of Asko Appliances tumble dryers was to be increased from 52 to 55rpm theenergy efficiency for small weights could be improved by 4%. In the last test series paddleswith the heights 90mm have been compared to 30mm paddles. The weight load was 8kg. Thesmall paddles showed slightly higher energy efficiency. This probably depends on theincreased drum volume due to the smaller paddles.

Full textInterconnections are electrical conductive tracks that aim to transport electricity or digital signals between components in a circuit. The conventional way of doing this is to use connections of solid metal, since they have low electrical resistance and are thereby suitable conductors. In this study, different materials have been investigated for their suitability to be used as textile interconnections. Textile in-terconnections are needed in for instance medical measuring equipment garments. A textile interconnection in a garment needs to withstand washing and bending. In this study three conductive yarns are tested; Bekinox VN 12/2*275/175S, Shieldex 235/34 and Highflex 3981 7*1 Silver. A textile interconnection narrow fabric with four copper wires within, OHM-e-12-L-1, by the company Ohmatex has also been investigated. The conductive silicon Elastosil LR 3162 A/B has also been investigated for its suitability to fit as textile interconnection and as electrical contact with conductive yarns. Washing tests have been made to investigate how the materials electrical resistance is affected by washing. To measure and under-stand the materials flexibility and how the resistance is affected by bending of the material, the materials have been bended in a bending apparatus that has been developed in this study. It has also been investigated whether or not a silicon coat-ing, Dow Corning 3140 RTV Coating, of the yarns may protect them from the chemical and mechanical wearing of washing and bending. The change in re-sistance has then been compared to values of the uncoated yarns. Since the coat-ing is electrically isolating the yarns, screen printed contact points of Elastosil has been added and investigated. Bekinox withstands both washing and bending well. The electrical resistance of Shieldex increases by washing, but the silicon coated yarns increase less than the uncoated yarns. Shieldex withstands the bending test well and the change in re-sistance is low. Highflex passes the washing test well and has very low resistance. But the Highflex yarn is sensitive to mechanical deformation and gets damaged by the bending test. The silicon coating has no protecting effect here. Elastosil is not suitable as an interconnection and the contact points by Elastosil are neither working well together with the conductive yarns. But Elastosil do withstands both the washing and bending test well. The conductive narrow fabric by Ohmatex withstands both the washing and bending test well and it is suitable as an inter-connection.

Full textFlame retardants in textile material is used to prevent or delay fire. Laws and standards require that textile goods used in public environments are flame protected. Flame retardant textiles are also used by the occupational groups exposed to the risk of fire in the workplace. The use of flame retardants has increased since the 1970s. In the 1980s, the health and environmental risks associated with their use began to receive attention. This had led to regulations for the use of flame retardants containing chlorine and bromine. The development of halogen-free flame retardants as health and environmentally friendly alternatives is ongoing. The possibility of integrating the flame retardant into the textile fiber is also seen as a health and environmentally friendly alternative. Integration of an inherent flame retardant can be done either during copolymerization of the textile polymer or by adding an additive by the extrusion of the yarn. Inherent flame retardants in textile materials are marketed as health and environmentally friendly as they’re not emitted from the textile material during wash and wear. These aspects include only the part of the lifespan of the textile material that involves the use of the textile. Information of the impact on health and environment during the production and disposal stage of an inherently flame-retardant textile is insufficient. The results show that substances and compounds giving the textile material an inherent flame protection can at these stages in the material life cycle cause damage to both humans and nature. An incorrect handling in the production phase of these substances can lead to emissions. These emissions can cause air pollution and acidification in soil and water. Landfill is common at disposing of inherently flame-retardant textiles which later leads to combustion of the materials. During combustion toxic landfill gases are released into the environment.

Full textPiezoelectric materials are frequently used in different sensors as they can generate a measurable electrical signal during applied pressure or when subjected to extension. This project examines how a piezoelectric yarn containing Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is affected when exposed to moisture, heat and long-term mechanical deformation. Focus has been directed towards investigating the properties of the piezoelectric yarn as well as how it can be applied in textile fabrics and textile applications. The piezoelectric yarn has been subjected to a series of tests. Most of the samples have undergone cyclic deformation in an extensometer during tests. The piezoelectric yarn has been examined by experiments in laboratory environment, practical tests in textile applications as well as by statistical analysis. It can be stated that factors such as moisture and temperature have influence on the piezoelectric effect of the yarn. Long-term tests reveal how the yarn displays a change in length while undergoing deformation, which contributes to the diminished signal strength of the yarn. The piezoelectric yarn can successfully be integrated in a piece of fabric by the means of sewing when using correct stitch- length, where higher stitch-length gives a higher signal output. The same method can be applied to construct a piezoelectric sensor used in a training sock. This project can conclude that parameters such as moisture, creep-behaviour and structural variation within the PVDF-filaments have a significant effect on the signal created by the piezoelectric yarn. The potential of the yarn as a sensor can be seen by successfully applying it to a textile structure as well as in a training sock that can monitor the fore and rear foot while running. It can be stated that much remains to be studied in this particular research area regarding piezoelectric filaments and yarns. Further research in the subject will lead to new innovative applications that can be of use in different parts of society, not to say the least in the area of medicine.

Full textVarje dag konsumeras stora mängder material och produkter inom vårdsektorn. Samtidigt har den ständigt växande medvetenheten om mänsklighetens negativa påverkan på miljön medfört ett ökat hänsynstagande inom olika delar av vårdsektorn. Införande av riktlinjer för miljö-anpassad upphandling är ett exempel på ett sådant initiativ. Men för att kunna använda miljömässiga aspekter i upphandling är tillgången till miljödata för produkterna nödvändig. Denna uppsats utfördes för att ur ett livscykelperspektiv utreda och jämföra miljöpåverkan av två typer operationsarbetskläder, en engångs- och en flergångsmodell. Huvudsyftet med studien var att ge landstingen i Örebro och Uppsala län ett beslutsunderlag, och därmed underlätta för dem att ta hänsyn till miljöaspekter i framtida upphandlingar av operations-arbetskläder. Miljöbedömningen av plaggen är baserad på utvalda miljöpåverkanskategorier som bedömts som relevanta och av intresse för denna undersökning. För att försäkra en god metodologisk struktur och hög trovärdighet, har denna Livscykelanalys (LCA) utförts i enighet med riktlinjerna i ISO 14040-standarden. De studerade produkterna är två typer av operationsarbetskläder, en som kan återanvändas 100 gånger, och en för engångsbruk. Utöver plaggens livslängd skiljer även materialsamman-sättningen dem åt. Resultaten visade att de återanvändningsbara kläderna har betydligt lägre miljöpåverkan inom alla studerade kategorier.Den huvudsakliga orsaken till detta är flergångsplaggens betydligt längre livscykel, vilken resulterar i en avsevärd minskning i miljöpåverkan per användning inom alla dess livscykel-faser förutom användningen. Vidare indikerade resultaten att odling och tillverkning av bomull, samt användningen av energi från fossila bränslen, hör till viktiga bidragande faktorer till miljöpåverkan inom flertalet undersökta miljöpåverkanskategorier. Redan idag finns alternativ som skulle kunna ersätta dessa faktorer och därmed minska plaggens totala miljöbelastning avsevärt.

Full textIn December 2019, the first cases of a virus called covid-19 were reported in Wuhan, China. The virus is spreading rapidly and in connection with the uncontrolled spread, the pressure on healthcare is also increasing. At the same time as healthcare is doing everything in its power to suffice, a global lack of protective equipment is reported. The manufacture of a surgical face mask, from fiber to finished product, consists of a comprehensive system and requires materials of specific fibers produced in advanced processes. Creating a face mask that possesses the possibility of reuse would have been an alternative with the aim of reducing the risk of face mask ending while minimizing disposable consumption. The purpose of this study is to analyze material selection, manufacture, construction and requirements for surgical face masks. The study also aims to explore alternative ways of creating a reusable face mask. The choice of method for collecting material has been based on literature studies of a primarily scientific nature. As the topic is highly current, news articles from trusted newspapers have been of value. Qualitative interviews were conducted with the aim of providing a clear insight into the healthcare work. A surgical face mask serves as a protective barrier against the transmission of infectious agents between staff and patients and is generally constructed in three different layers. The inner layer is made by a process called nonwoven meltblown, while the two outer layers, the upper and the lower, are made by a process called nonwoven spunbond. These three layers are then calendered together to form the filter media, which is then pleated and seamed in a converting line. The surgical face mask is a disposable item and is discarded immediately after use. Nawar Kadi, who is a professor at Textilhögskolan in Borås, is currently working on a project aimed at developing a partially washable face mask that thus functions to reuse. At present, there are many aspects to consider and questions to answer before the project can be realized in practice but with the right conditions, financial support and proven methods with underlying research, the possibility of creating a reusable face mask is not far away.

Full textÅr 2005 slopade EU sina importkvoter på TEKO-varor efter att i många år ha skyddat sina inhemska producenter från omvärldens konkurrens och begränsat utvecklingsländers tillträde till unionens marknad. Den här uppsatsen undersöker konsekvenserna av handelsliberaliseringen för tolv utvecklingsländers export av kläder och textilier till EU genom att handelstatistik från Eurostat används för att jämföra EU:s import av TEKO före och efter slopandet. Som väntat ökade Kina och Indiens export till EU efter avregleringen. Däremot har sju av tolv studerade länder minskat sin exporttillväxt av kläder till följd av förlorade preferenser från handelsavtal och ökad konkurrens när kvoterna eliminerades. Förändringarna blev betydligt större i handeln med kläder än med textilier och effekterna omedelbart efter avregleringen var mer dramatiska än under åren som följde. De tillfälliga restriktioner som infördes mot Kina efter 2005 förefaller ha fått effekt på handeln med kläder under 2006, medan ingen påverkan går att identifiera på textilmarknaden.

Full textAir pollution has a negative impact on both the environment and the human health. Pure Air Zone is a silent and energy efficient air purifier which has been integrated in a bed frame. This creates a clean airspace where the user will place its head while sleeping. Currently a mesh material is being used to cover the bed frame but this is not well suited for a bedroom environment when looking at the appearance of the textile. The main focus has therefore been to develop an alternative textile that can replace the current mesh without impairing the function. The most important characteristics the textile has to possess are high air permeability, high dimension stability and high abrasion resistance. Tests were carried out by using a Martindale machine, a tensile tester and a permeability tester to measure these characteristics. Seven woven fabrics from Ludvig Svensson were examined for said characteristics and compared to the mesh which acted as a reference material. Majority of the chosen weaves were thinly or sparsely woven and had to be stabilized by quilting them together with filter wadding. After completed tests the characteristics were weighed against each other to present a combined result for all the weaves. In the combined results it was clear that the current mesh material being used for the bed frame got the overall lowest result. For air permeability, the highest weighed characteristic, all but one weave got a better result than the reference material. The weave that got the best combined result was a thin plain weave that will be referred to as Day in this report.

Full textKvinnor har under stora delar av 1900‐talet broderat monogram på hemmets textilier för att skilja tillhörigheter åt och undervika förväxling. Monogrammet hade även en prydande funktion på textilierna, som broderats mer eller mindre synliga på textilierna under åren. Ordet monogram kommer från grekiskans mono´grammos och betyder en bokstav av enbart linjer. Det broderade monogrammet består av ägarens begynnelsebokstäver eller det gifta parets gemensamma begynnelsebokstäver, vilket har varierat under tiden från en till fyra bokstäver och hela namn beroende på trender. Mönsterförlagor till monogrammen spreds via märk‐ och broderiböcker vilka ligger till grund för uppsatsen. Före märk‐ och broderiböckernas tid broderades dukar som förlagor och inspiration till kommande märkning, så kallade märkdukar. Idag är det enbart ett fåtal som dekorerar hemmets textilier med ett handbroderat monogram, troligen beror det på ett minskat behov av märkning för att skilja tillhörigheter åt, en jäktande nutid, ett minskat kunnande samt ett förändrat synsätt på textil som hållbar produkt.
Jag riktar i uppsatsen uppmärksamheten mot monogrammets funktioner, komposition och placering på hemmets textilier mellan 1892‐2007. Monogrammet är intressant att studera då det gått från självklarhet till bortglömt på drygt 100år. Uppsatsen är genomförd i en kvalitativ litteraturstudie med hermeneutikisk metod. För framtida forskning inom området är det av intresse att ta reda på hur monogrammen skiljer sig geografiskt och vilka influenser som påverkat.

Full textThe linear supply chain model and the phenomena of fast fashion that today characterizes the textile industry is unsustainable. To evaluate how resource-efficient the various activities in the supply chain management are Carter and Ellram created the Waste Hierarchy in 1998. In 2008 the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union updated this model to what is today referred to as the waste-staircase (“avfallstrappan”). The different steps are designed for how to, in a desirable order, reduce the amount of textile waste disposed. A step towards a more sustainable business model is the implementation of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM). The basic prerequisites for using the staircase is that collecting and sorting of post-consumer textile waste (PtCTW) is handled correctly and efficiently. Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) entails companies to handle their products post consumer phase, including processes such as collection and sorting. This creates a reverse supply chain, ‘reverse logistics’. This reverse supply chain aims to create a closed material flow, resulting in zero waste. In order to do so, new sustainable reuse- and recycle methods needs to be developed. The survey made in this study aims to map new technologies within the area, in order to find out whether the use of these could result in reduced amount of disposed PtCTW.

Full textArbetet syftar till att undersöka och jämföra hur två svenska företag som säljer ekologisk textil resonerar kring inköp, marknadsföring och försäljning av dessa textilier. Frågeställningarna berör efterfrågan, hur företagen kan garantera att miljömärkningar och certifieringar efterföljs samt hur företagens storlek påverkar möjligheter till marknadsföring och försäljning av ekologisk textil. Intervjuer med två svenska företag som säljer ekologisk textil är genomförda. Resultatet visar på att det finns flera aspekter där företagen skiljer sig åt, bland annat i inställningen till ekologisk textil och anledningen till att de säljer det. Resultatet visar även på de svårigheter som finns vad gäller miljömärkning och certifiering, där företagen inte kan göra annat än att lita på att kraven på de ekologiska textilier de säljer efterföljs. Förhoppningen med arbetet är att det ska kunna ge en större kunskap och insikt om ekologisk textil och om företagen och deras resonemang kring dessa textilier.

Full textCurrently Sweden consumes significantly more per capita than its share of available planetary resources and textiles are the fifth highest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Governments in Sweden and at EU level, among others, have become aware and action plans for circular economy related to textiles are being implemented. The Swedish government has decided that used textiles no longer will be treated as household waste, and by 2025 the textiles need to be collected separately. In Sweden it has been decided to implement extended producer responsibility (ERP) and a proposal for how it should be enforced is in place. Wargön Innovation has established a pilot sorting plant for the textile waste and the WargoTex project is now investigating the possibilities for upscaling. In order to achieve the goals as well as making the future circular chain profitable, the industry will be required to collaborate and find common solutions with tomorrow's innovative technologies. The purpose of the report is to investigate which aspects affect when many actors are to be interconnected and cooperate when it comes to re:applications of textiles. And what gains there are to be made for textile companies with the circular economy of the future. For this report, a qualitative method has been chosen and interviews have been conducted with experts from various textile industry sectors. In addition to this, the report is based on literature studies and the results have emerged through thematic analysis. The results of this study show that opportunities can arise for the industry when they are open to collaboration with non-profit and private organizations, as long as the already existing collection and handling of used textiles is not disrupted. They can help each other by letting the automated facilities efficiently sort large quantities based on several different sorting concepts, while the non-profit organizations possess great knowledge in which textiles can be resold and reused. In this way, the waste hierarchy can be followed and prioritized, and the concerned parties can operate together without interfering with each other's activities. The exchange of information throughout the chain, from consumers to waste managers must be extended and the actors must exchange knowledge between each other on equal terms to promote opportunities for a circular future. However, in this arena of cooperation this might be challenging, especially since the industry needs to agree on what is sustainable, which is a factor that has been shown to be crucial in this study. In order to create financial incentives towards circularity, introduction of differentiated fees in the ERP could be feasible, where materials that do not meet certain environmental requirements involve higher fees than the more sustainable alternatives. The Swedish market can expect profitability if the textile waste is sorted and brought back to the Swedish cycle. This can also make Sweden stand out from other countries and lead to new job opportunities. For textile manufacturers the economic benefits can only arise with the willingness to change and many opportunities reveal themselves if they have the courage to follow it through. However, financial support with public funding may be needed in an early stage towards a circular economy, for example through tax reliefs and government grants. The use of recycled materials has economic benefits as its price does not vary to the same extent as virgin materials, in addition it also reduces dependence on raw materials from other countries. Other advantages for the manufacturers are that with a normalization of textile re:applications, solid CSR and more consumers choosing the most sustainable alternatives, there are market shares to gain.

Full textThis is an investigation of textile materials for outdoor environments with a particular focus on boat cushions. The ambition has been a survey of various conceivable materials for exposed environments and test of best sewing methods. Through analysis of available materials and knowledge of upholsterer inventory, supplemented by a historical research and my own tests, I found out following. A historical research showed that as long as recreational boats were accessible to the upper class only, it was about having the finest material and the best craftsmanship to show their wealth to friends and acquaintances. When the recreational boats entered many of the Swedish ordinary homes, it became partly more home-fixing and simple solutions. Whereupon "luxury leisure boats" have always maintained a high standard of fabric. An important red thread of all time has been the practicality and easy cleaning. After a closer research of contemporary adequate textile fibers, is synthetic fibers to preferable instead of regenerate fibers. But it is not only the textile fiber that controls the quality of the finished product. The quality of the fabric depends on the quality of the finished textiles, which it obtains during the manufacturing process. It includes for instance the fabrics composition, twisting and weaving techniques and impregnation. The market has a big variation of textiles, but only a few who are profiled against the market for outdoor environments are able to handle the outdoor conditions well. It is therefore important as a customer to purchase a high-quality textile for a long lifetime. The most common types of marine textile for boats are vinyl, acrylic or polyester fabric. There is not a fabric that stands up to all possible challenges, but there are several fabrics that are composed in such way that they can handle the conditions well for a long period of time. The lifetime limit is difficult to say, it depends completely on how the cushion is made (for example sewing technique and padding.) The environment has also an impact on the lifetime limit. Cleaning the cushions extends the lifetime limit. If it is possible it ́s preferable to bring the cushions inside or cover them with for example a chapel for protection from as much impact as possible. Aside from the fabric of the cushions, the upholsterer's knowledge and professional skills have a big impact and large contributing part of how ever the final product lives up to the expectations or not. The sewing technique, thread choice, zipper, velcro, buttons, padding is very important. Placement of seams is also very important. Common problems with cushions on boats is that water can get through the seams and water fill the padding. This can be prevented by sealing the seam by applying a water repellent to the seam. Single-stitch or keder with long stitching proved to be the most suitable sewing technique to reduce water leak. Non-iron plastic zipper is preferred and thread with polyester core and cotton outer layer as this thread combines the strength of the polyester and the sealing quality of the cotton. High density foam is recommended as padding material. For exposed environments where risk of water leaks exists are other materials more suitable, such as polyetherfilter that don’t absorb moisture.

Full textIn this day and age we have to reduce our environmental impact and improve the use of our existing resources. The textile industry emits 6,7 percent of the global greenhouse gas emission which approximately equals to 3,3 billion ton of CO2 emission (Quantis 2018). The textile industry needs to move forward regarding textile waste management to reach the global climate goals. The reuse and recycling of existing textile’s resources are two ways to create a more sustainable industry. Sysav’s facility SIPTex (Malmoe, Sweden) is a groundbreaking textile sorting machine and the first step towards a more sustainable textile industry. The large-scale automated textile sorting machine will aid in the quest of sorting textile waste into manageable fractions. The aim of this report is to investigate the information needed by the recycling industry in order to upcycle secondary textiles in a both cost-effective and efficient way, and to compile this information into a document. The question asked in this report is: How should textile fractions be specified to aid in a more favorable and effective usage of existing textile resources? In other words, to increase the understanding of present and future customers. The mapping of important information regarding secondary textiles implemented interviews and a survey. With the help of a third party the authors encountered interesting businesses in the recycling sector which got contacted by email. More businesses were contacted widening the understanding of the textile recycling industry. The data collected as a result of the interviews and the survey was compared to the information of a tech pack used for the production process of new textiles. The report shows that information regarding the composition of fibers, content of chemicals, method of coloring, color of the fabric and details are of interest. Interviewees also emphasized circular design and taking the reuse- and recycling processes in mind when designing an item and there for simplifying the repurposing of the textiles. Lastly, the information gathered in this report underlines that a new document resembling a tech pack should be shared with businesses in the recycling industry. In most cases recycling businesses need the same type of information shared in the production of new textiles. This type of transparency would promote upcycling of materials, circular design, traceability, and communication within the textile sector boosting the potential of secondary textiles.

Full textHusqvarna is a company that manufactures workwear intended for work in the forest. On behalf of Husqvarna, the possibility of integrating electronics into workwear will be investigated, which is the basis for this work. Through a literature study possible techniques have been studied. Due to the fact that workwear usually is of woven structure, weaving was chosen as the technique. Different types of conductive materials were examined by measuring the electrical resistance. A selection was made of the conductive materials with the lowest resistance for further testing and prototype development. Specimens were woven with canals, into which the conductive material was inserted. In addition, specimens containing non-insulated conductive yarn were laminated. The purpose of the lamination was to insulate the conductive yarn and thereby protect the worker from electrical shocks and cause a short curcuit. Tests were then performed on the manufactured specimens which examined the resistance to washing and sweat. The washing test was done on the basis of SS-EN ISO 6330: 2012 and for the sweat test an own method was constructed, because there is currently no standard that involves sweat and conductive materials in textiles. After washing tests it turned out that the laminate is not to recommend as it came loose on the majority of the specimens. However, the electrical resistance was not significantly affected by the washing. The results obtained from the sweat test showed that the laminate prevented contact between the conductive lines. Nevertheless, the laminate is not to be preferred in this case due to how it was affected in the washing test. In addition, only those specimens that contained only FISK-cable managed to not create contact between the conductive paths. As electronics and textiles are not usually used together, the possibility of separating the different systems when recycling the garment is necessary. From an environmental point of view, it is therefore advantageous to integrate the electronics as little as possible, as it will then be easier to separate from the fabric. In addition, it allows for possible repairs of the various components, which can extend the life of the entire product. For the sake of comfort, however, the electronics and wiring must be integrated much more. The best option for integrating electronics into a garment for this purpose is probably to place the conduits in a lining fabric with a thin insulated cable lying in canals in the fabric. This study´s purpose was to determine whether it would be possible to integrate electronics into workwear, further product development and designwork is neccessary in order to create garments with smart features.

Full textThe textile industry is one of the world's largest and dirtiest industries we have today. With the enormous amount of water, chemicals and carbon dioxide emissions that are released every day, the fashion industry has a major impact on our environment. Consumption together with an increased desire to buy fast fashion clothes and follow trends that are constantly updated, is a difficult task to achieve. Together, consumers and companies can find approaches and solutions to the environmental deterioration that the textile industry brings. Reusing or recycling garments is nothing new in the market, however, more and more ways of utilizing textile waste are emerging through recycling. Recycling, redesign and remake are some of the most common ways of handling textile waste and creating new clothes after that. When it comes to recycling, the garments is taken apart and broken down at fiber level and then woven or knit new garments. Consumers can thereafter reuse their old clothes that has turned into new ones. Recycling textiles is a demanding process and it is important to have the right fiber in order for the quality of the garment to remain after the recycling is done. The purpose of this study has been to investigate sports companies' approach to the concept of upcycling as well as future plans and areas of improvement when it comes to their sustainability work. In this study, questions about sustainability work will be asked with the aim of obtaining answers about areas of improvement. The report will also describe how companies view upcycling and what they relate to the concept of upcycling. Upcycling means extending the life of a garment without breaking it down at fiber level and increasing its value. During the course of the study, companies in the sports industry based in Sweden were contacted. The work has largely been carried out in Borås. The issues have examined the concept of upcycling, how it can be applied in practice and all interviewed companies' sustainability work. Through the interviews valuable information on upcycling and sustainability was added to the study because not enough facts were found in the litterature. The information has also been taken from literature and scientific articles. The report is written focusing on a sustainability perspective and new solutions when it comes to textile waste. Thus, upcycling is being investigated and whether that process has the potential to grow in the sports industry. Limitations are made to companies that are not based in Sweden. The study will only address basic economic aspects with a focus on product.

Full textThe focus of this study was to develop and evaluate hydrophobic surfaces of concrete. The idea was based on an assumption that nano-modification of concrete surface, in combination with a hydrophobic impregnation, can result in superhydrophobic concrete. The work was performed in cooperation with the CBI Betonginstitutet in Borås, where the laboratory tests of ultra-high performance concrete, and the effects of two different hydrophobic agents, StoCryl HG200 and SILRES®BS1001, on water repellency, were investigated. In order to produce a textured surface, different techniques were used: to cast concrete in the textile forms and to produce new forms of silicone with textile patterns. For the production process, different types of textile were selected. The results indicated that different textiles, of different surface structure, can influence the hydrophobicity level of the concrete surface. Silicone form has proven to be most efficient in the texturing of the concrete surface, and in combination with impregnation, several superhydrophobic surfaces were achieved. Silicone can be re-used, thus contributing to a sustainable and repeatable technique. The tests used for the examination of hydrophobicity were: roll-off and contact angle. The durability of the hydrophobicity level of the surfaces against freeze was tested. The test did not follow a standard method but was based to the regular climatic conditions that occur in Sweden,.The use of ultra-high performance concrete with super hydrophobic surfaces can protect the façade and the insulation against penetrating damp. The façade thickness of 10 mm could successfully exchange thick façade element with steel reinforcement. In conclusion, the concrete surface is easy to clean, and due to its long life spans, it is economically favorable.

Full textPlastic and microplastics in nature, sea and water are a major global problem. Because plastics in different forms are present in a big variety of products, this leads to a big volume of plastics that can be spread out to nature from different emission sources. Plastics do not have a sure degradation time; plastics can, therefore, affect the environment for a very long time due to the formation of degraded plastics microplastics over time. Microplastics can also be manufactured as such, in the form of, for example rubber granules. This thesis is a literature study of microplastics in the municipality of Hudiksvall, with a delimitation of four of the following major emission sources of microplastics, artificial turf, littering, washing of synthetic fibres textiles and wire tear and road marking paint. The rapport is also showing the approximate quantity of the emissions from the sources above in the municipality of Hudiksvall together with proposed actions with a proposed priority order. The results show the emissions within the municipality to be relatively large, however, it is possible to greatly reduce some of the emissions with relatively simple and cost-effective means. The emissions from artificial turf can be greatly reduced with the following actions. Shoe brushes near the artificial grass, granular traps in the nearby stormwater drains for collection of rubber granular that otherwise would have ended up in the stormwater. The third action is a barrier at the sides of the artificial turf to prevent the spreading of rubber granular to nearby areas. More studies are needed regarding the emissions from littering, wire tear and road marking paints and washing of synthetic textiles to find more secure local and regional data and to get more data of what happens to the microplastics after it leaves the roads. The emissions of microplastics from artificial turfs can physically be addressed while the other three emission sources require both more information and changed habits and patterns to give a bigger impact to the measures. Some examples may be to reduce the use of trucks for heavy transport and use trains to a greater extent. Another is to increase the use of public transport to reduce the use of cars. The municipality of Hudiksvall intends to follow Agenda 2 030, which is several global goals for economic, social, and ecological sustainability. In Sweden and Hudiksvall the environmental goals have been even more specified to clarify the most important measures. Hudiksvall municipality is an eco-municipality since 2 002. That means all decisions must be included in the sustainability principle, new ways of thinking are seen as important. Future studies of microplastics and its emission pathways are required to get more specific local data to be able to work actively to reduce the emissions regardless of the size or source.
