TRANS-TEXTIL/COMPANY DOINGS
Trans-Textil GmbH in conversation
with the Transport Minister
Dr. Peter Ramsauer finds out about Freilassing’s textile
technologies of the future
Fibre-reinforced plastics play an increasingly
significant role in transport technology. The use of
glass
and carbon fibres helps to dramatically reduce the weight
of aircraft, cars, lorries and rail
vehicles, thereby slashing
fuel consumption and pollutant emissions. This is one of the
reasons why
Dr. Ramsauer showed a great deal of interest in
Trans-Textil’s functional textiles, which ensure that
components for lightweight construction are particularly high
quality and safe thanks to the application
of EADS’s
patented VAP method.
Prosys Project – Incubator of
ideas for laser safety textiles
The main focus of the project is the development of multifunctional
textiles
that provide protection
from the dangers of intense
beams of light,
particularly
in personal protection equipment,
whereby
Trans-Textil will
be playing a
groundwork role along
with other partners. Strong laser
beams are
finding
increasing
use in industrial production methods and
measurement techniques,
but the
development of suitable protective fabrics
is still
very much in its infancy.
