Specialty chemicals company LANXESS, a world-leading manufacturer of leather chemicals, is unveiling leather trends for the spring-summer season 2019. The collection presents tanneries with numerous leather samples that reflect the trends in terms of color, structure, haptics and overall appearance.

LANXESS’s Leather business unit provides this service twice a year so that leather designers, producers and suppliers can react early to future trends and realize new creative items. Furthermore, tanneries receive relevant formulations and practical advice on processing. This unique mixture of upcoming fashion trends and new technologies as well as innovative chemical products creates significant added value to exclusive fashionable leather products in regard to quality, sustainability and ecology.

La forza della Natura

The colors are subdued and convey a calm feeling after the winter. We see a very subtle pastel color that can be chic depending on what is combined with it. A neutral tone which creates sophisticated environments and combines well with everything. For warm, cozy and very natural environments we see the colors of a paradise island. What color is the sea, what color is the sand? They are of soft blue or a very striking and seductive rose. The senses are awakened.

Aria d’Estate

Blues and greens which represent not only spring. Refreshing and calm at the same time, they invite us to breathe deeply, to oxygenate us. The trees are already leafy and the tones are stronger and embody a desire for connection with nature. The green with a more intense, spectral version invites you to think about the tropical and festive spirit.
There also appear proposals of reds that are more fashionable than ever in their soft versions, so that they cause an aura of innocence, tranquility and purity.

Dopo la prima metà

The blue is essential in any of it shades in this season – electric, marine or soft as the blue of a glacier illuminated by the sun. The colors of ripe fruits are presented along with pastel shades in this advanced stage of summer. They will appear in all versions and want to become companions – from candy-colors like lavender, purple to blue. A Mediterranean green is another color that this season could not miss – combined with earth tones. Citric yellow will appear at garments and accessories.

Caldo Abbraccio

The sun is at its highest, the heat embraces us and we feel the positivism and energy of the season. Colors like the orange set intensive accents – mixed with tones of earth or yellow. The color red and its varieties of shades – up to orange and rose – impose a Spanish touch.

Researchers have developed a cheap and sustainable method of making impregnating fabrics with a conductive ink based on modified graphene flakes which adhere better to the wool unmodified graphene. Furthermore, the heat to which have undergone the tissue with the ink improves the conductivity of graphene. Specifically, they have managed to produce a wearable sensor movement. The method for inserting graphene modified cotton fiber is similar to that used for pigmentarlo.

Graphene, electrically conductive fibers, cotton, technical textile

Although there are plenty of wearables sensors on the market, most used electronic components mounted on rigid fabric or other flexible materials. In addition, most are not really compatible with human skin, can not withstand washing and are uncomfortable because they lack breathability.

Other conductive inks are made of precious metals such as silver, which makes them very expensive and unsustainable, while graphene is environmentally friendly, cheap and chemically compatible with cotton , said Torrisi, one of the British scientists . The conversion of the cotton fibers in electronic components can open a new era of textile applications, from health care to the Internet of Things . Thanks to nanotechnology, in the future our textile garments incorporate electronics that will make them interactive.

This method assures Chaoxia Wahg, University of Jianghan- allow us to introduce electronic systems directly into the tissues. Opens incredible possibilities to produce smart textiles .

Graphene is changing our technological environment thanks to its physical properties. The electrical and mechanical properties of atoms offer clear advantages. In addition, environmental compatibility and adherence to cotton makes it the ideal for applications materials wearables .

  作為浙江制造的重要組成部分，溫州鞋革行業(yè)當(dāng)前發(fā)展的核心問(wèn)題，依然是“質(zhì)量”問(wèn)題。為了全面深化改革和加強(qiáng)質(zhì)量工作，溫州市鞋革行業(yè)協(xié)會(huì)于2015年9月正式出臺(tái)《進(jìn)一步改革和加強(qiáng)質(zhì)量工作的實(shí)施方案》，包括開(kāi)展企業(yè)質(zhì)量管理培訓(xùn)、創(chuàng)建行業(yè)先進(jìn)質(zhì)量管理孵化基地、牽頭制定皮鞋“浙江制造”標(biāo)準(zhǔn)、建立鞋類(lèi)產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量安全風(fēng)險(xiǎn)監(jiān)測(cè)點(diǎn)和質(zhì)量維權(quán)聯(lián)絡(luò)室等13項(xiàng)工作任務(wù)。同時(shí)，協(xié)會(huì)成立“溫州市鞋革行業(yè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化工作委員會(huì)”和“浙江制造標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化起草工作小組”。隨后，協(xié)會(huì)多次牽頭召開(kāi)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)制定研討會(huì)。7月，浙江制造皮鞋標(biāo)準(zhǔn)通過(guò)專(zhuān)家評(píng)審并向浙江省標(biāo)院報(bào)送批準(zhǔn)。如今，該項(xiàng)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)正式發(fā)布，是溫州市質(zhì)監(jiān)局、市標(biāo)院、市質(zhì)檢院、行業(yè)協(xié)會(huì)與行業(yè)代表企業(yè)共同努力的結(jié)果，將對(duì)溫州鞋革行業(yè)進(jìn)一步改革和加強(qiáng)質(zhì)量工作，推動(dòng)溫州鞋革行業(yè)從“制造”向“智造”轉(zhuǎn)變，釋放和激發(fā)鞋革行業(yè)創(chuàng)新活力產(chǎn)生重要意義。

  面對(duì)新常態(tài)下溫州鞋革行業(yè)面臨的新問(wèn)題，溫州市鞋革行業(yè)協(xié)會(huì)將進(jìn)一步發(fā)揚(yáng)重視質(zhì)量工作的優(yōu)良傳統(tǒng)，推動(dòng)以先進(jìn)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)引領(lǐng)技術(shù)創(chuàng)新、產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量提升和產(chǎn)業(yè)轉(zhuǎn)型升級(jí)，以提升質(zhì)量應(yīng)對(duì)發(fā)展速度的減緩，把鞋革行業(yè)建設(shè)成為溫州市先進(jìn)制造業(yè)的標(biāo)桿！
