Putting health and safety first
Trade Supervisory Board certifies occupational and plant safety at Trans-Textil GmbH
Used in protective clothing for firefighters, emergency services and police forces, the functional textiles produced by Trans-Textil GmbH ensure safety the world over. In-house, too, the Freilassing company places great importance on the health of its over 90 employees and the local community. This commitment has now been reviewed and confirmed anew by the Trade Supervisory Board of the District Government of Upper Bavaria after the company requested additional certification according to the internationally recognised “OHRIS” standard.
Distinguished collaboration
PFC-free warp-knitted laminates from Trans-Textil and Penn Textile Solutions provide protection with additional design highlights
ODLO wins ISPO Award for innovative ski touring apparel
The independent jury of the ISPO Award recently chose to honour the X-Alp Performance ski touring apparel from ODLO with the prestigious industry award. The distinguished ensemble comprising X-Alp Performance Knit 3L jacket and X-Alp Performance Knit 3L pants was created based on PFC-free warp-knitted laminates from Trans-Textil. The intentionally designed open 3D structures are a direct outcome of the knitting process and offer a glimpse of the individually coloured Topaz membrane system. This watertight and breathable barrier thus ensures reliable protection and comfort, while also serving as a design element.
Topaz PURABLE: Water-based functional layers
Trans-Textil forgoes organic solvents in breathable and waterproof PURABLE barrier systems
Trans-Textil GmbH is presenting its PURABLE functional systems based on aqueous technologies for the first time at Techtextil in Frankfurt am Main (Hall 12.1, Stand B67). The company from Freilassing / Bavaria completely avoids organic solvents in production. In combination with the PFC-free Clean4Green® finish, the water-based Topaz Elements® seam sealing tapes, the environmentally friendly transfer printing process and vegan-certified or recycled components, a technically extremely flexible and sustainable overall concept for functional textiles is created.
„Rolling Buttons“: Intelligent product design for people with restricted mobility
Innovative wheelchair blanket combines sophisticated functions with sustainable textile solutions from the regional supply chain
A weatherproof wheelchair cover which is also easy to handle – that was Dorothea Schwarz’s idea, founder of the company FarbenFreude. „Rolling Buttons“, the name of these functional products, which are also suitable for handbikes and e-scooters, are now being made in Suderburg/ Lüneburg Heath in high-quality manual work. Waterproof and breathable membrane laminates from Trans-Textil are used which ensure protection, comfort and a high ecological profile.
Membrane systems become design highlights
In connection with the partial 3D structure of the warp-knit laminates, Trans-Textil and Penn Textile Solutions make the breathable moisture barriers a versatile design factor. Thanks to the flexible membrane production, individual color variants can be produced within a very short time without any restructions in terms of performance.
Flexible seam sealing with environmental claim
Trans-Textil produces “Elements Tapes“ on aqueous basis
To ensure that the seam in a waterproof laminate keeps the promise of the functional textile, it is sealed with a seamsealing tape. Trans-Textil GmbH has now implemented this technology for the first time on a purely aqueous formula basis. The Topaz Elements® Tapes do not contain any organic solvents in the adhesive layer and offer a wide range of possibilities in terms of fabrication and application. Trans-Textil thus offers a unique overall concept in terms of ecology, design and technology.
Topaz Fusion: Fashion meets Function
Trans-Textil fashion style with innovative textile technologies
With the new concept Topaz FUSION Trans-Textil bridges the gap between individual design and functional high-performance materials. Behind this is the combination of highly breathable and weatherproof multilayer membrane laminates with versatile possibilities of product design in textile printing or coating. This results in individual products for outdoor, leisure, sports and business wear as well as innovative shoe components, combined with a high standard of environmental compatibility.
Wool Performance Laminates: Nature and high tech for stylish protection and comfort
Becker Tuche and Trans-Textil combine natural highperformance fibers with functional textile technology
Traveling to the office by bike is very much in vogue. It is a bonus when business clothing has a modern look while being durable for all types of weather as well as being ecologically responsible. This is the result of the fusion of fashionably sophisticated design, breathability and waterproof high-tech membrane systems and natural wool, resulting in “Wool Performance” laminates jointly developed by Becker Tuche GmbH & Co. KG and Trans-Textil GmbH.
