#Polyester Film manufacturer

[zvaigzdelasas]

A few years ago, I noticed that a number of factories in China had started opening TikTok accounts and posting footage from their assembly lines. The videos offered a rare glimpse into global supply chains, and millions of Western TikTok users marveled at teddy bears being stuffed with polyester fiberfill, machines dipping gardening gloves into hot liquified nitrile rubber, and quality assurance testers seeing whether cheap cigarette lighters worked. (My friend and former colleague Andrew Deck wrote a great story about factory TikTok for Rest of World in 2021.)

Since then, hundreds of other Chinese factories have joined TikTok. Some of them produce industrial equipment that would never be bought by normal people, like dump trucks or bottle labeling machines. And while the older factory accounts were often created by marketing agencies, these newer ones seem to largely be the work of earnest salespeople trying to find new customers. Many of them are relying on AI translation and text-to-speech tools, making the videos unintentionally sound very funny.

One of these manufacturers is a company called Donghua Jinlong, which is headquartered in Hebei province about 200 miles from Beijing. It sells “high quality industrial grade glycine,” a type of nutritional additive that evidently sounds silly and abstract to people who never need to think about how processed food is made. Donghua Jinglong and its glycine have become a relatively big meme on TikTok, Instagram, and X over the last few days, and some of the company’s videos are getting over 100,000 views (even though its official account only has roughly 4,400 followers).

Donghua Jinlong itself, however, doesn’t seem to have any idea what’s going on. People in the comments keep begging it to make official merch, but the company doesn’t understand why anyone would want a sweatshirt or t-shirt with the name of an industrial manufacturer on it. Shitposters have also started referencing the Donghua Jinlong meme in the comments of videos from other Chinese factories.

A company called HengYuan, for example, posted a video of what can only be described as a machine for filling Tide Pods, and one of the top comments is someone asking “Could you pack food grade glycine in this?”

Clearly baffled, HengYuan responded, “No. This is used to pack detergent in PVA Film.”

The Donghua Jinlong meme is a great microcosm of what’s actually happening on TikTok when it comes to content from China. Some people might argue that Chinese manufacturers are choosing to post on the app because its parent company, ByteDance, is also from China. In other words, these factories could be held up as an example of TikTok allowing Chinese influence to grow in the US (albeit a bizarre one).

But Donghua Jinlong also has a Facebook page with even more followers, it’s just that no one is engaging with its posts there. That’s because there are likely very few people searching social media for a new glycine supplier at any given time. TikTok, however, doesn’t rely on users to actively seek out content, it serves videos to them via an algorithm. So now tons of random people are coming across glycine manufacturers and Tide Pod machines by accident, and they’re happily turning the whole thing into a joke.

I personally find these videos to be fascinating, both because It’s cool to learn how things are made, and because they provide the opportunity to watch in real time what happens when random Chinese companies come into contact with American social media users. I don’t think this is the type of Chinese influence lawmakers are imagining when they worry about TikTok, but it’s arguably much more interesting and human.

All that glitters isn't always gold...

..sometimes it's just gold lame. Or Lurex. Or Mylar.

OK - so what the heck is lame? (pronounced 'lah-MAY') It was traditionally fabric made from metal fibers wrapped around other fibers, like silk or rayon. It was designed to create a metallic shine to clothing, so clothes were typically gold, silver, or copper colored. Besides style, lame was used in fencing uniforms which allowed the electrified sabers to register a 'hit' against an opponent.

Lurex is a close cousin to lame. In fact, you could claim they're in the same household since Lurex vaporized metal onto other fibers.

Today most manufacturers use Mylar, a polyester film that creates a metallic look, like with the one piece bathing suit I'm wearing. The trouble with Mylar is, after a while, it starts to peel off the backing fabric. Which makes clothing unappealing.

But, on the good side of things, a mylar swimsuit like this one is just fine for passing through airport metal detectors.

Christian Bale on "Batman Begins" (2005): "At first, I was somewhat hesitant to do the role. I mean, after all, Batman is an icon. But I remember, as clear as day, being at the grocery store the day the movie opened, and this little boy saw me. He couldn't have been more than five years old. He just walked right up to me and hugged me. He hugged me, and I was so moved by it that I hugged him back. Then he looked up at me and said, 'You're my hero.' And in that moment, I knew that not only as an actor that I had done my job, but that I had made the right decision to play Batman. And I've never looked back on my the decision to play Batman since."

Bale decided early on in the audition process that he didn't want to play Batman straight, but to play him as a rage-filled monster, figuring that it might polarize writer and director Christopher Nolan. To his delight, Nolan was thrilled with his off-kilter interpretation.

Heath Ledger was considered for the role of Bruce Wayne/Batman during this movie's early development before Ledger and Nolan agreed he was not right for the role. After this, he was cast as The Joker in "The Dark Knight" (2008), a role that won him an Academy Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role.

The infamous growl performed by Bale was much rougher in "The Dark Knight" than "Batman Begins," and has been parodied countless times due to its extreme nature. However, the common misconception is that Bale was fully responsible for this voice. The real voice, during filming, was more toned down, and then heightened to a rougher, grittier vibe during post-production under the decision of writer, producer, and director Nolan.

Bruce Wayne wears a new Batsuit in "The Dark Knight." This Batsuit was an improvement on the outfit from "Batman Begins", and made Bale more comfortable and agile in his performance. It was constructed from two hundred unique pieces of rubber, fiberglass, metallic mesh, and nylon (producing an impression of sophisticated technology), with elastic banding added for tightening the costume to fit Bale. The gauntlets had their razors made retractable and able to be fired. The suit's cowl was based on a motorcycle helmet and separated from the neck piece, allowing Bale to move his head left/right/up/down, and comes equipped with white eye lenses for when Batman turns on Bat-sonar. Bale got to keep the Batman mask from the movie after filming.

For "The Dark Knight Rises" (2012), The Batsuit consisted of one hundred ten separate pieces. The base layer was made of a polyester mesh, utilized by the military and high-tech sports manufacturers due to its breathability and moisture-retaining properties. Molded pieces of flexible urethane were then attached to the mesh to form the overall body armor plating. Carbon fiberpanels were placed inside the sections on the legs, chest, and abdomen. The new owl was sculpted from a cast of Bale's face and head to become a perfect fit for Bale. (IMDb)

Happy Birthday, Christian Bale! 🦇

FILM INSPECTION: THE EARLY FILMS OF BETH B

by Emily Jenne, Institute of Fine Arts Conservation Center graduate student

Beth B, one of the most influential filmmakers to emerge from the generative chaos of the 1980s downtown scene, is known for her transgressive head-on confrontation of power structures and sexual politics. She formed the independent film production company B Movies (a play on low-budget films) with her partner Scott B, with whom she has worked over the years along with a panoply of collaborators, downtown luminaries such as Jack Smith, Arto Lindsay, Pat Place, John Lurie, Bill Rice, Gary Indiana, James Nares, Kiki Smith, Tom Otterness, Richard Edson, Vivienne Dick, James Russo, Richard Prince, Ann Magnuson, Jenny Holzer, Richard Kern, Kembra Pfahler, James Habacker, Dirty Martini, Thurston Moore, and Kai Eric (the list goes on). She is still active today, and her recent documentaries zero in on burlesque, no-wave provocateur Lydia Lunch, and the painter Ida Applebroog (who also happens to be Beth B’s mother).

Flyer for ‘Black Box’

As a longtime Beth B fan myself, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to work on several of her early films as they entered NYU’s Special Collection (Beth B Papers, MSS.614; Scott and Beth B (B Movies) Records, MSS.622). This included: G Man (1978), Black Box (1979), The Trap Door (1981), Salvation (1987), Belladonna (1989), and Visiting Desire (1996), as well as a copy of Un Chant d’Amour (1950) the first and last film by French writer Jean Genet, famously banned for its explicit content. As a graduate student specializing in both time-based media and paper conservation at the Institute of Fine Arts NYU, I am often asked where these two seemingly disparate fields overlap. The work I’ve done at the Barbara Goldsmith Preservation & Conservation Department is an excellent example of the two working in tandem. The Beth B collection, for example, has both a media component (the films) and an accompanying paper element (posters and other ephemera).

Film preservation begins with an assessment logging current conditions and identifying the media, which will determine the best practices for storage. The first order of business is identifying the film base as cellulose nitrate, acetate, or polyester. The film gauges present in the Beth B collection, 16mm and Super 8mm, ruled out one possibility, cellulose nitrate which was never used as an 8mm or 16mm substrate in the West. From there, acetate and polyester could be distinguished using a very high-tech piece of equipment, 3D movie glasses. A pair of polarized 3D glasses folded in half at the nose can be used for a polarization test. When slid between the lenses, a polyester base will birefringe, acetate will not (birefringence is a phenomenon of optical anisotropy in certain materials that causes distinctive visual undulations at changing angles). In the end, all of the films were found to have an acetate base.

Further information about the film stock can be determined from clues in the edge code. Using a loupe and cross-referencing with an edge code chart, the year and even the location of manufacture can be established. The placement of a dot within the word ‘safety’ notes the location (acetate film base is known as ‘safety film’ in contrast to its highly reactive and flammable predecessor, cellulose nitrate). The film stock in the Beth B collection was manufactured in Rochester, NY.

Information on the soundtrack format was also noted, the Super 8mm reversal films had a magnetic soundtrack, and the 16mm reversal films had a variable density optical track. Other relevant information was also recorded such as instances of surface abrasion, broken sprocket holes, number and character of splices, and any annotations on the head or tail leader (often instructions for the projectionist).

‘The Trap Door’ 8mm reel.

The major concern with acetate film base is deacetylation, an irreversible form of deterioration colloquially known as ‘vinegar syndrome’ for its distinctive acidic odor which can be detected at concentrations as low as 1 ppm. Deacetylation is essentially a reversal of the synthesis steps used to make the acetate base, and the reaction produces acetic acid which can also have a detrimental effect on the other component layers of the film. Acetic acid can soften the gelatin emulsion layer and accelerate fading of color dyes in color film. Deacetylation also leads to warpage, embrittlement, channeling, and shrinkage of the film base by as much as 10%. Shrinkage beyond 0.8% makes it dangerous to project the film.

Deacetylation is exacerbated by high humidity and fluctuations in temperature, but further damage can be mitigated with correct storage conditions. The industry standard for measuring the extent of deacetylation is with AD strips, a type of targeted litmus test, which measures acidity on a scale of 0 (blue, indicating no deterioration) to 3 (yellow, which indicates critical condition). In conjunction, multiple readings taken with a film shrinkage gauge can be used to determine the average shrinkage level of the film.

The films in the Beth B collection were found to be in generally good condition, and minor preservation interventions included the removal of tape residue and splicing of new labeled extensions onto the existing head and tail leader. The copy of Un Chant d’Amour, now upwards of 70 years old and suffering more from the effects of deacetylation in contrast the Beth B films, is a good reminder of the importance of consistent low humidity, low-temperature storage in prolonging the life of acetate-based films, just the kind that these films will receive in their new home at NYU.

The thing about French medieval cinema is, I was listening to a video on yt about the reason costumes in rings of power use gold appliques instead of brocade fabric is that the textile industry is dying

Manufacturing of natural fabric has become a lot more rare, as in everyday clothes

If you are working for a film production, you'd go to the garment district and just buy fabric and then start from there

But most of the fabric on the market are some sort of polyester cotton blend

So the next possible step would be to produce your own fabric, which is both expensive and it's not like that doesn't require raw material and a whole lot of machinery, order from who knows where, again expensive and time consuming, or make due with whachya got and just stick gold leafs to fabric

Now that hot me thinking about Europe, and many Ministries of Culture, and publicly financed production of ethno garments, you see, in Europe governments have a vested interest in preserving culture, idea of history and continuity from then till now, so there's some money being spent on manufacturing authentic medieval costumes, but most importantly preserving technology, which is why French and British productions tend to pull of medieval with that itchy feeling of seeing raw wool on screen

Exploring the Art and Process of Silk Screen Printing

Silk screen printing, also known as screen printing or serigraphy, is a versatile and popular printing method that has been used for centuries to produce high-quality prints on various surfaces. This article explores the process, applications, benefits, and considerations of silk screen printing.

What is Silk Screen Printing?

Silk screen printing is a printing technique that involves creating a stencil (or screen) and using it to apply layers of ink on the printing surface. The stencil is usually made of fine mesh, traditionally silk (hence the name), but now commonly polyester or nylon. The areas of the mesh that are not part of the stencil are blocked off, allowing the ink to pass through only the open areas onto the substrate.

The Process of Silk Screen Printing

Preparing the Screen: The first step in silk screen printing is creating the stencil. This involves coating the screen with a light-sensitive emulsion and exposing it to UV light through a film positive of the desired design.

Creating the Stencil: After exposure, the screen is washed with water, which removes the emulsion from the areas not exposed to light, leaving a stencil of the design on the mesh.

Setup and Registration: The screen is mounted on a printing press, and the substrate (such as fabric, paper, or plastic) is placed underneath. Proper registration ensures accurate alignment of the screen and substrate.

Applying Ink: Ink is applied to the top of the screen, and a squeegee is used to pull the ink across the screen, forcing it through the open areas of the stencil onto the substrate.

Curing the Ink: After printing, the substrate is passed through a dryer or oven to cure (or set) the ink. This step ensures durability and permanence of the print.

Repeating the Process: For multi-color designs, each color requires a separate screen and printing pass, with precise registration to ensure alignment of the colors.

Applications of Silk Screen Printing

Silk screen printing is widely used across various industries for a range of applications:

Textile Printing: Silk screen printing is extensively used in the textile industry to print designs on fabrics, including apparel, accessories, and home textiles.

Graphic Art: It is popular for producing posters, fine art prints, signage, and promotional materials.

Packaging: Silk screen printing is used on packaging materials such as boxes, bags, and labels.

Electronics: It is employed in the manufacturing of electronic components and printed circuit boards.

Industrial Applications: Silk screen printing is used for printing on glass, ceramics, plastics, and other industrial materials.

Benefits of Silk Screen Printing

Versatility: Silk screen printing can be applied to various substrates, including flat and curved surfaces.

Durability: The ink used in silk screen printing is durable and resistant to fading, making it suitable for outdoor applications.

High Quality: Silk screen printing produces vibrant colors and sharp details, ideal for intricate designs.

Cost-Effective: It is cost-effective for medium to large print runs, offering competitive pricing per unit.

Considerations for Silk Screen Printing

Setup Time: Creating screens and setting up equipment can be time-consuming for small print runs.

Color Limitations: Each color requires a separate screen, increasing complexity and cost for multi-color designs.

Not Suitable for Complex Gradients: Silk screen printing is best suited for solid colors and spot color designs rather than complex gradients.

Silk screen printing continues to be a popular choice for businesses and artists seeking high-quality, durable prints. Its versatility, durability, and vibrant results make it a preferred printing method across various industries.

The Role of Emulsion Polymers in the Textile Industry

In the ever-evolving textile industry, innovation drives progress, and one of the most significant advancements in recent years has been the utilization of emulsion polymers. These versatile materials have revolutionized fabric treatments, enhancing functionality, durability, and sustainability. As the demand for high-performance and environmentally friendly textiles continues to grow, emulsion polymers play a pivotal role in meeting these industry challenges.

Understanding Emulsion Polymers

Emulsion polymers are produced by the polymerization of monomers dispersed in water, forming a colloidal suspension. This method is environmentally favorable as it typically requires fewer organic solvents than other polymerization techniques. The resulting polymers are versatile and can be engineered with specific properties to suit various applications within the textile sector, ranging from fabric finishing to fiber manufacturing.

Enhancing Fabric Finishes

One of the primary applications of emulsion polymers in textiles is in the finishing process, where they are used to impart desirable characteristics to fabrics such as softness, wrinkle resistance, and water repellency. For instance, acrylic emulsion polymers are extensively used to create soft yet durable finishes on fabrics. These polymers form films on the fabric surface, providing a protective layer that enhances wear resistance and longevity.

Water repellency is another critical feature highly sought in textiles, especially in outdoor and sportswear. Emulsion polymers such as fluoropolymers offer exceptional water and stain-resistant properties without significantly affecting the fabric's breathability. This technology not only improves the consumer's wearing experience but also extends the garment's life by protecting it from the elements.

Improving Flame Retardancy and Strength

Safety is paramount in the textile industry, particularly in applications requiring fire-resistant clothing, such as in the military, firefighting, and certain industrial environments. Emulsion polymers are integral in the production of flame-retardant fabrics. These polymers can be formulated to form a char barrier on the fabric when exposed to heat, thus slowing down the spread of fire and providing crucial extra seconds for the wearer to escape danger.

Additionally, emulsion polymers are employed to enhance the mechanical strength of fibers. In the manufacturing of synthetic fibers, such as nylon and polyester, emulsion polymers are added to improve tensile strength and elasticity. This is particularly important in the production of high-performance textiles used in sportswear and automotive industries, where durability and performance under stress are essential.

Sustainability and Environmental Impact

The textile industry is increasingly under scrutiny for its environmental impact, particularly concerning water pollution and the use of toxic chemicals. Emulsion polymers offer a more sustainable alternative to traditional treatments that rely heavily on solvents. Water-based emulsions significantly reduce the need for volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are harmful to both the environment and human health.

Furthermore, the development of biodegradable emulsion polymers is on the rise, which represents a significant step forward in reducing the ecological footprint of textile production. These innovative materials degrade more quickly and safely in the environment, helping to address the issue of textile waste and pollution.

Future Prospects

Looking ahead, the role of emulsion polymers in the textile industry is set to expand further. Advances in polymer chemistry are expected to produce even more specialized emulsions that could unlock new functionalities in textiles. For instance, there is ongoing research into emulsion polymers that can enable textiles to conduct electricity or change color in response to environmental stimuli, opening up possibilities for smart and interactive garments.

In conclusion, emulsion polymers are crucial in pushing the boundaries of what's possible in textile production. Their ability to enhance fabric properties, coupled with their environmental benefits, positions them as key components in the future of textile manufacturing. As the industry continues to innovate and move towards more sustainable practices, emulsion polymers will undoubtedly play a central role in its evolution, offering solutions that meet the needs of modern consumers and the planet alike.

The Importance of Dye Fixing Agents in the Textile Industry

The textile industry is a colorful world where the vibrancy and durability of fabrics play a crucial role in the marketability of products. In this context, dye fixing agents emerge as indispensable allies in the quest for long-lasting and vibrant textiles. These specialized chemicals not only ensure that colors adhere firmly to the fibers but also play a significant role in enhancing the overall quality and appeal of textile products. 

What are Dye Fixing Agents

During the dyeing process lies the challenge of colour fastness—ensuring that dyes remain vivid and steadfast through washes and exposure to environmental elements. Dye fixing agents tackle this challenge head-on by forming strong chemical bonds between dye molecules and textile fibers. This bond significantly reduces the likelihood of fading, bleeding, or colour loss, thereby preserving the fabric’s aesthetic appeal over time. 

Types of Dye Fixing Agents

Dye Fixing Agent Manufacturers use a variety of dye fixing agents, each suited to specific types of fibers and dyes, to achieve the desired level of colour fastness. Find the below mentioned types: 

Tannic Acid-Based Fixing Agents: Derived from tannin-rich plants, these agents are effective for improving the colour fastness of natural dyes on cellulosic fibers, such as cotton and linen. They work by forming complexes with metal ions, facilitating a stronger bond between the dye and the fiber. 

Metal Chelating Agents: These agents form stable complexes with metal ions present in the dye or water, preventing these ions from interfering with the dye-fiber bonding process. This enhances the dye fixation and overall colour retention. 

Cationic Dye Fixing Agents: Primarily used for synthetic fibers like polyester and nylon, cationic agents work by forming electrostatic attractions with negatively charged dye molecules, thereby increasing the affinity between the dye and the fiber and enhancing colour fastness. 

Crosslinking Fixing Agents: By creating strong covalent bonds between the dye molecules and textile fibers, crosslinking agents ensure excellent wash-fastness and resistance to fading. These agents are preferred for their durability, especially in harsh environmental conditions. 

Anionic Dye Fixing Agents: Best suited for dyeing wool and silk, which carry a net positive charge, anionic agents form ionic bonds with positively charged dye molecules, ensuring effective dye fixation and vibrant colour retention​. 

Reactive and Non-reactive Fixing Agents: Reactive agents introduce reactive groups into the fixing agent molecules, forming covalent bonds with dye molecules and the fiber, improving dye fastness. Non-reactive agents, on the other hand, may work by film-forming on the fabric or blocking water-soluble groups on the fiber surface to improve colour fastness​.  

Each type plays a crucial role in ensuring that textiles retain their colour vibrancy and resist fading over time, underscoring the vital role dye fixing agents play in the textile industry.

The Role and Benefits of Dye Fixing Agents

1. Enhancing Colour Fastness

One of the paramount achievements of dye fixing agents is their role in bolstering colour fastness. This characteristic is crucial, as it determines how well a fabric can retain its colour through various conditions, such as exposure to sunlight, repeated washing, or mechanical wear.

By establishing a chemical fortress around the dye molecules, these agents effectively secure the dye to the fiber, minimizing the risk of fading. This process is not just about preserving the visual appeal of textiles but also about ensuring their longevity and durability. For manufacturers and consumers alike, this translates to textiles that maintain their vibrant hues and aesthetic appeal over time, even after multiple laundering cycles.

2. Preventing Dye Bleeding

Dye bleeding is a common challenge in the textile industry, especially when dealing with fabrics that feature multiple colors or intricate patterns. Dye fixing agents address this issue head-on by locking the dye molecules within the fabric’s fibers. This preventive measure ensures that colors do not migrate beyond their intended boundaries, preserving the sharpness and clarity of designs.

The significance of this function cannot be overstated, as it not only enhances the product’s overall quality but also boosts consumer satisfaction. Textiles treated with efficient dye fixing agents are more likely to hold their ground against the common pitfalls of colour blending or bleeding, ensuring that every wash leaves the design as intended.

3. Ensuring Uniform Colour Distribution

Achieving a uniform distribution of colour across a textile surface poses a significant challenge, particularly in large-scale production settings. Here, dye fixing agents play a pivotal role by facilitating an even attachment of dye molecules to the fabric fibers. This uniformity is critical for several reasons.

First, it ensures that every inch of the fabric reflects the intended shade and intensity, eliminating patches or variations that can detract from the textile’s overall appearance. Secondly, uniform colour distribution contributes to the consistency of product quality, a factor that is particularly important for brands that pride themselves on delivering exceptional and reliable merchandise.

In essence, dye fixing agents serve as the guardians of colour integrity, ensuring that from the first dye bath to the final product, the fabric remains a true representation of the designer’s vision.

4. Environmentally Friendly Solutions

The shift towards sustainability has ushered in an era where the environmental impact of textile production is under scrutiny. In this context, the role of dye fixing agents extends beyond just improving fabric quality to encompass environmentally friendly practices. Effective dye fixation minimizes the need for repeated washing and re-dyeing processes, which in turn reduces water consumption and the discharge of dye pollutants into water systems.

Furthermore, advancements in dye fixing agent formulations are increasingly focusing on biodegradable and eco-friendly components. These innovations aim to maintain or even enhance the efficacy of dye fixation while ensuring that the agents themselves do not contribute to environmental degradation.

The use of such agents aligns with the broader industry goal of reducing the ecological footprint of textile production, paving the way for a more sustainable fashion and fabric manufacturing sector.
