Spunlace
November 8th, 2007What is Spunlace :-
Terms used for spunlace non-wovens: jet entangled, water entangled, hydroentangled or hydraulically needled.
It is also called as Hydroentanglement. It was first developed by DuPont.
It is a process of entangling a web of loose fibers on a porous belt or moving perforated or patterned screen to form a sheet structure by subjecting the fibers to multiple rows of fine high-pressure jets of water.
Majority of hydroentangled fabrics have incorporated dry-laid webs (carded or air-laid webs as precursors), this has changed very recently with an increase in wet-laid precursor webs.
Process Involved :-
Precursor web formation
Web entanglement
Water circulation
Web drying

Japan is the major producer of Spunlace
The biggest producer in us are DuPont, Chicopee and Kendall corporations.
Machinery for Spunlace :-
Rieter Perfojet, Jetlace 3000
Fleissner - AquaJet-Spunlace System
Idrosistem (Only for water filtration system)
Applications :-
Surgical packs and gowns, protective clothing as chemical barriers to wipes, towels and sponges for industrial, medical, food service and consumer applications.
Spunlace is the most widely used fabric for wipes and medical gauze.
However, spunlace is in great demand in the emerging technical textile industry.
The attempt by two new spunlace technologies, Miratec (manufactured by Polymer Group Inc.) and Evolon (Freudenberg) to enter traditional textile markets has been a major disappointment in both cases.
This is not a catastrophic failure but represents a big pause in the movement of spunlace fabrics into traditional textile markets. Success could eventually come from products with much lower manufacturing costs than Miratec and Evolon.
TUFS Extended - Eleventh Five Year plan (2007-12)
November 4th, 2007The Indian government announced the continuation of Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (TUFS) for the entire period of the Eleventh Five Year plan (2007-12).
Under the TUFS government would provide 4% interest reimbursement for spinning machinery and 5% interest reimbursement for all the remaining sectors.
It would also provide 10% capital subsidy in addition to 5% interest reimbursement for machineries required in manufacture of technical textiles and garments, apart from other benefits.
Value Added Tax (VAT) - Indian Market
November 4th, 2007Value Added Tax (VAT) is a multi-stage tax on goods that is levied across various stages of production and supply with credit given for tax paid at each stage of Value addition.
Value Added Tax (VAT) is levied on the value addition. It differs from sales tax which is levied on the total value of the product/service.
VAT eliminates the cascading effect of the existing sales tax.
Only the value addition in the hands of each of the entities is subject to tax.
So VAT is neutral and is not dependent on the number of exchanges / intermediates between the producer and the final customer.
VAT in India
In India VAT replaced sales tax on 1 April 2005
At a rate of 12.5%, VAT will come in on April 1, 2005
The execution of both Sales Tax & VAT is under the state regulations. States are responsible to implement the VAT.
All goods manufactured and sold in the same state, anywhere in India, will pay a tax only on the value addition. All goods, which attract a central excise duty, too get a VAT refund. The only segment where VAT is not applicable is central sales tax levied for inter-state movement of goods. This is the reason why the current VAT format is called a state-level VAT, and not a national-level VAT.
