#Techtextil 2022

TEXTECHNO will present award winner FIMATEST at Techtextil

At the Techtextil 2022, Frankfurt, TEXTECHNO Herbert Stein GmbH & Co. KG, the experts for quality control systems, will show its latest testing instruments for industrial fibres, yarns, and composites.

TEXTECHNO demonstrates the FAVIMAT+, an automatic single-fibre testing system, which determines the following fibre properties in a single instrument: linear density, tensile properties, mechanical crimp properties (crimp percent, removal force and stability), geometrical crimp structure, fibre-to-metal friction and bending stiffness.

Additionally TEXTECHNO shows the FIMATEST system, that measures the fibre-matrix adhesion by means of a single-fibre pull-out. The system consists of the FIMABOND embedding station and a clamping accessory to the FAVIMAT+. FIMATEST has won the famous JEC World Innovation Award.

A further highlight Textechno's new wrap reel for yarns and reinforced fibres TEXREEL. It works in accordance with all relevant machinery directives and convenient to use. 

Further outstanding Textechno products for testing industrial yarns, rovings, tapes and fabrics are

+ STATIMAT 4U Automatic linear density and tensile tester for high-tenacity yarns

+ DYNAFIL ME+ Dynamic shrinkage tester of all kinds of yarns,

+ DRAPETEST Automatic drapability tester for standard and non-crimped fabrics,

+ ROVINGTEST Automatic test system for the processing properties of rovings

+TAPETEST Automatic test system for the processing properties of Tapes

You will find TEXTECHNO on a joint booth with LENZING INSTRUMENTS (Austria) and the University of Applied Sciences HS NIederrhein in Hall 12.0, booth B 52.

A flagship for chemical production: BASF inaugurates world-scale Verbund site in China

BASF today (March 26, 2026) celebrated the official inauguration of its newly built, world-scale Verbund site in Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province in southern China. Covering an area of around four square kilometers, it is more than a major BASF project in the chemical growth market of China. “Zhanjiang shows what the future of chemistry looks like: efficient, digital and sustainable by design. The site showcases a smart integrated Verbund structure on an industrial scale,” said Dr. Markus Kamieth, CEO of BASF, at the ceremony attended by representatives from government, customers, business partners and employees.

VEOCEL™ Lyocell production expands to Asia – Launching a new chapter for nonwovens in the region

VEOCEL™, Lenzing's flagship specialty nonwovens brand, expands production at its Thai plant in Prachinburi. This is the first-ever production of its nonwoven-grade lyocell fibers in Asia. Built in 2022 with a 100,000-ton annual production capacity, the facility - previously focused on fibers for textile applications - now can directly meet the demand for VEOCEL™’s biodegradable¹, wood-based lyocell fibers for nonwovens products. These fibers are an essential ingredient for high-quality nonwovens products, ranging from baby wipes to facial sheet masks and everyday personal hygiene items.

#Research & Development

Hof University develops sustainable textile coating for the fashion of tomorrow from mushrooms

Clothing is often treated as disposable: T-shirts for events, general merchandise, or short-term campaigns frequently end up in the trash after only a few uses. This is particularly problematic given that their production still largely relies on fossil-based materials. This is precisely where a new research project at Hof University of Applied Sciences comes in.
