The optimum processing of PET staple fiber on modern ring and open-end spinning machines is only possible when spin finish and fiber properties are in harmony. In the past the best possible results could seldom be achieved because the level of communication and co-operation between spin finish suppliers, fiber producers and spinning mills was often inadequate. A promising new approach is demonstrated by the exclusive co-operation between Henkel Textile Technology and the TTI (Textil Technisches Institut) of Akzo Nobel that has been active for some years. Henkel is a specialist in applied chemistry particularly in the field of fiber finishes and TTI has profound know-how both in PET fiber manufacturing and in PET fiber processing. Through this unique cooperation Henkel can offer an all-encompassing service package for unprecedented optimisation opportunities to PET staple fiber producers worldwide. On the one hand, newly developed spin finish combinations can lead to success thanks to the capability and competence of both partners working together to apply combined technologies to fibre production. On the other hand mill processing problems can be interpreted clearly and related to spin finish requirement parameters and thereby solved in a focused and scientific manner.
