New HeiQ range tackles pilling
07/11/2017
Many conventional anti-pilling treatment technologies give “a negative mechanical handle impact” that leads to reduced fabric comfort, HeiQ argued in the build-up to Performance Days. It also said that improved visual perception at the cost of worse mechanical perception is “the conventional approach to the problem of abrasion-related damage on textiles”.
It explained that No Fuzz is based on adhesive polymer structures that give “targeted, localised and non-homogeneous bridging reinforcement” inside or on the outer surface of yarns.
“Like tree roots protecting soil from erosion, the novel polymer structures adhere to and reinforce the fabric yarns,” HeiQ said, “substantially reducing the tendency to pill and fuzz, keeping the appearance of the textile surface looking newer for longer, while minimising handle impact.”
