This week leading experts in the textile industry are exhibiting their latest products and innovations at the 46th edition of the Filo Milan trade fair for yarns and fabrics which is taking place at the Palazzo delle Stelline. The venue has Monocel, a designer and distributor of high-end top dyed yarns under the Monocel brand demonstrating its potential and how it can represent the next generation of smart cellulosic yarns. The company is exhibiting its Monocel yarns in a range of jersey and woven fabric innovations.
Monocel is a new generation of smart and responsible lyocell-from-bamboo yarns. These developments represent a new option in eco-responsible yarns, with a unique colour range delivered through an Ultrasonic Natural Plant Dyed process, the company reports.
Monocel Ultrasonic Plant Dyed yarns is a family of high tech top dyed yarns. It combine the latest advanced dyeing technology with ancient coloration materials. The company says it believes it is one of the most advanced water saving techniques available. The patented process uses liquid plant dyes in the new ultrasonic ‘attachment’ technique for a high level of colour fastness, with encouraging improved efficiencies in energy and emissions reductions through lower temperatures and shorter dyeing times.
By combining Monocel with natural plant dyes, the company has achieved a beautiful colour range that is unique to the ultrasonic process and offers yarns that are completely non-toxic and gentle to the skin. The dyes are based on traditional Asian medicinal roots, fruits and flowers.
Yarns come in pure Monocel or blended with GOTS certified organic cotton, spun in Siro-Compact, and Compact formats for the finest yarns. White bleached yarns use the more environmental Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) process.
Marchi & Fildi, a leading spinner and provider of cotton based yarns for the textile industry, is presenting its Ecotec yarn, made in Italy and produced by an exclusive traceable and certified production process that transforms pre-dyed textile clippings into a 100% cotton yarn with record savings in water and energy consumption, according to the manufacturer.
