Theme – Textiles for sports
10:20 - 11:00
Conférence n° 1 : Mineral fiber in the marine market and other applications
FILAVATM is a mineral fiber with very high mechanical and thermal performance, used in a wide range of fields, including the marine industry. Isomatex will present the technical and eco-responsible characteristics of this innovative fiber, as well as examples of marine applications.
ISOMATEX – Bernard Voss
11:40 - 12:20
Conférence n° 2 : Alternative fibers to elastane
Presentation of IFTH research projects on alternatives to elastane, which causes problems in the recycling phase. IFTH work on the development of a fiber with elasticity characteristics appropriate for sports use, allowing it to withstand sufficient stress and temperature. This biosourced fiber makes it easier to recycle clothing intended for sports use.
IFTH – Isabelle Feirrera
13:40 – 14:00
Conférence n° 3 : Biomimetic innovation applied to textiles
Présentation globale de l’usage et des nouvelles applications des fibres longues dans les composites, appuyée par des exemples d’applicatifs industriels.
GEMTEX – Philippe Vroman
17:00 – 17 :40
Conférence n° 4 : Projet INTERREG NWE CIRCTEX : l’économie circulaire dans le vêtement professionnel
Le consortium du projet CIRTEX représente la chaine de valeur textile du
fil au produit fini, dans le domaine du vêtement
professionnel – en Belgique, Pays-Bas, Royaume-Uni, Espagne et France ; il a
analysé tous les constituants des vêtements
professionnels pour les rendre le plus
circulaire possible : Recyclage mécanique
et chimique du polyester /
Des fils à coudre démantelables en fin de vie par micro-ondes avec la mise au
point de la machine de démantèlement / L’écoconception de vêtements monomatières et leurs tests d’usage / Un protocole pour généraliser la démarche
EuraMaterials
propose une présentation générale des résultats
du projet.
Le projet CIRCTEX
est financé par le programme
