PROSYS-Laser project

The PROSYS-Laser project is concerned with developing highly innovative
clothing to provide passive and active laser beam protection in work
involving hand-held laser processing devices (HLD), as well as curtains
for use with automated laser machines.
At a meeting in Warsaw attended by the high-tech companies and research
institutions involved in the PROSYS-Laser project, Trans-Textil and its
partners showcased new products that have already passed the function
test after several months of development work. The developments fostered
by the PROSYS-Laser project will set new standards for personal protective
equipment (PPE).

VAP® membranes qualified for aviation applications

Trans-Textil GmbH, EADS-licensed manufacturer of central components
for the patented VAP® method, has qualified its C2003 VAP® membrane
system for aviation applications together with its partners Airbus Deutschland
GmbH and Premium Aerotec GmbH. This places a new high-temperature-
resistant and practically transparent material on the market for membrane-
assisted vacuum infusion in the aerospace sector. The C2003 membrane
system, a complete new development by Trans-Textil, acts as a reliable resin
barrier for vacuum infusion processes and ensures dependable air and gas
evacuation over the entire component surface. Specifically developed for use
with certain resin systems at defined temperatures (up to 190°), it is already
proving of value in the fabrication of aviation components.

Trans-Textil gains OHRIS occupational health and risk management certification

Trans-Textil has been » certified according to the OHRIS occupational health
and risk management standard, thus documenting its commitment to
occupational and plant safety. The respective certificates issued by the
» Upper Bavarian Trade Supervisory Office also confirm its conformity to the
OHSAS 18001:2007 international occupational health and safety management
system specification. The new accreditation supplements Trans-Textil's
existing quality and environmental management certification undertaken in
the interests of its employees and neighbouring businesses and households.

Support for environmental and safety education

Trans-Textil has made a donation to the Rupert Freilassing-Mitterfelden
Secondary School Network as part of an on-going effort to further the
interests of young people at its location. The cheque for €2,000 was
accepted by the school director and head prefect on behalf of the school
network and will be used in environmental and safety education.

Topaz Windworker

The laminates in the Windworker series offer high thermal insulation, good
breathability (Ret value between 6 and 25), durable water and stain
repellency and windtightness (low air permeability). Depending on material
composition Windworker laminates can be deployed in high visibility clothing
according to EN 471 in connection with EN 1149, waterproof clothing in
accordance with EN 343, garments for protection against a cool environment
in accordance with EN 14058, industrial washing or protective clothing against
heat and flame in accordance with DIN EN ISO 11612. The materials are suitable
for use by public authorities, industry and craft trades in line with the appropriate
specifications.

Grabbing attention with Topaz dual guard

The main purpose of high-visibility safety apparel is to ensure that the
wearer will be readily seen. Topaz dual guard, a finish developed by
Trans-Textil to make light-reflecting warning colours last longer, has
undergone long-time wear testing at Bavaria's Annahütte steel works.
The test showed outstanding values in comparison to standard FC
finishes with regard to repellence and wash removal of various types
of stain, thus ensuring significantly longer luminance according to
EN 471. And this in turn has a positive effect regarding the life cycle
of the apparel and worker visibility.

VAP® applications for traffic technologies of the future

German transport minister meets VAP® network partners
Dr. Peter Ramsauer visits Trans-Textil GmbH

A strong network for a powerful technology – this is how VAP® network
partners presented themselves at the visit recently paid by Dr. Peter
Ramsauer, German Minister for Transport, Construction and Urban
Development, to Trans-Textil in Freilassing, south-east Germany.
The company, which is licensed to manufacture VAP® membrane systems
and issue licenses authorising their use, was holding an event in
collaboration with » EADS Deutschland GmbH, » Premium Aerotec GmbH,
» Composyst GmbH and » Secar Technologie GmbH to showcase future-
oriented projects involving large complex lightweight components fabricated
according to the VAP® method. The potential held by membrane-assisted low
pressure infusion for traffic technologies is enormous, as impressively
demonstrated both by the "E-Port" electric car filling station produced by
Secar according to the VAP® method and the NEXICOS demonstrator
fabricated by Premium Aerotec in a single pass.

Photo: In future, the large roof structure on the "E-Port", which provides electric vehicles with power, will be produced in VAP® technology.
