The company will exhibit a broad portfolio of colour and performance-enhancing additive products available for all fibre and textile segments and use the occasion of ITMA 2015 to meet key fibre-industry players.

Trend setting

ColorForward Interiors, Clariant’s annual colour forecasting guide, will provide insight into global social, cultural and political trends that can be expected to drive consumers in the near future.

Four trends are identified each year and captured in colour palettes intended to inform and inspire designers, architects and manufacturers in the fibres and textiles industry.

Sustainability

The ITMA display will illustrates the environmental advantages of spin dyeing using Clariant colour masterbatches versus bath dyeing. Also detailed will be the benefits of boosting recyclability and flame retardancy using performance-enhancing additive masterbatches.

Nonwovens for medical applications

Clariant’s innovative colour and performance materials are ideal for use in spun-melt nonwovens used in medical applications, the company reports.

They are said to meet the latest industry trends for functionality and aesthetics while taking into account safety and regulatory compliance. Clariant will take part in the Nonwovens Forum sponsored by the nonwovens trade association EDANA on 16 November.
