Clariant's new denim chemistry inspires Karl Mayer
7/22/2011
Muttenz, 21 July 2011 - Based on Clariant's 'Advanced Denim' dyeing process, machine builder Karl Mayer's Indig-O-Matic system is now able to offer superior efficiency, flexibility and eco-friendliness for weavers.
Making denim processing more sustainable, both in terms of resources and the environment, has been a pressing need within the textile industry for some years. Swiss-based chemical company Clariant, with its recently launched innovative Advanced Denim dyeing process, has been able to meet these demands, with the ability to reduce the number of boxes used in conventional dyeing from 12 to one.
It has also generated other environmental and ecological benefits for the production of the ubiquitous, always-in-fashion fabric. These include a massive reduction in water consumption, with up to 92% less with minimal generation of wastewater, energy savings of up to 30%, and up to 87% less cotton waste compared with conventional slasher dyeing processes.*
This development was not only of interest to the fabric producers but also to the Karl Mayer textile machinery company, which immediately saw the advantages of working with the Advanced Denim concept.
The Advanced Denim concept, designed to work using a mill's existing equipment, was based on Clariant's Denim-Ox process, which incorporates its Diresul® RDT dyes. It has been further refined by Clariant's Pad/Sizing Ox innovation, which uses the same dyes and the recently patented sizing agent Arkofil® DEN-FIX and provides a rich variety of colors and shades and is suited to the various forms of weaving and finishing denim. In combination with the company's full range of Diresul® RDT sulphur dyes, including non-indigo based Diresul® RDT Indicolors, Advanced Denim offers unique effects, improved fastness, better reproducibility of shades and easy application for more precise results.
All of these advances attracted the attention of German textile machinery company Karl Mayer, considered to be the world's leading manufacturer of warp preparation equipment for weaving. As a result, Clariant and Karl Mayer have combined their specialist knowledge of denim and have concentrated attention on integrating the conventional ring dyeing process.
Karl Mayer has revamped and refined its existing systems and, as a result of work done by the chemical company, is now offering its Indig-O-Matic machine system based on Clariant's Pad/Sizing Ox dyeing process, an integrated modular concept for the denim sector, which combines both traditional as well as ecologically optimized processing techniques.
In denim production, the warp yarns are dyed separately prior to being woven, contributing to the unique feel and appearance of the fabric. Karl Mayer's modular Indig-O-Matic warp yarn preparation system is also geared towards the continuing market demands for smaller runs and rapid reaction to changing fashions in the denim industry, in ensuring the warp yarns are fully ready for the subsequent processing.
The system is characterized by the machine manufacturer's Vario Double modular dyeing machine, which can be used for conventional, nitrogen or reactor dyeing, followed by a steamer. The yarns are then passed through a quick oxidization unit and a wash trough. The KAMCOS® control system and a fully-automated chemical dispensing and measuring system ensure all processes are flexible, fully reproducible and highly accurate. Beam changing between the separate processes is also fully automatic.
"The Pad/Sizing Ox and Indig-O-Matic are two technologies setting the trend in the textile sector," said Rainer Roesch, Head of Marketing & Application Development of Business Unit Textile Chemicals at Clariant. "This is a partnership which has got the chemistry and machinery just right in terms of efficiency, flexibility and ecological performance."

The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner."

"Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
