New processes for cleaning high-visibility clothing A


process for high-visibility clothing. During certain sectors of industry, such as those who work on the roads or railways, employees can become contaminated by, for example, bitumen, tar or buffer grease. This contamination reduces the warning effect of the high-visibility clothing, creating a significant safety risk for the employee wearing such clothing.


Current cleaning processes lack the ability to efficiently remove


contaminations such as bitumen, tar or buffer grease. Only by application of large amounts of chemicals and washing times, these contaminations can be removed. This intense washing procedure causes damage to the materials and reduces the lifespan of the clothing.


The current research project at the Hohenstein Group focuses on product- and application-specific reference cleaning processes for high-visibility clothing. These washing processes are designed to be gentle to textiles, while


removing persistent contaminations such as bitumen from the high-visibility clothing. Laundries will be able to use the results as basic principles and apply them to their individual work in practice. One key point is to improve the dissolving, emulsification or suspension of oily or greasy contaminations during the washing procedure, because they particularly reduce the service life of high- visibility clothing.


Due to their increased capability of solving persistent contaminations at low

temperatures, microemulsions and soil release polymers were selected as two approaches in developing novel reference cleaning processes. Necessary data will be recorded and entered into an evaluation matrix (including retroreflection, weatherproof properties and water and energy consumption) to enable an easy transfer from laboratory to industrial scale.


For manufacturers of high-visibility clothing, textile service providers and certification authorities, such an evaluation matrix is a key requirement for integrating the results into their processes.


Adaption of the parameters in laundries and textile leasing companies will minimise the probability of a premature loss of functionality of the high-visibility clothing.


Additionally, results of individual parameter changes can be estimated by use of the developed evaluation matrix. Therefore, textile leasing companies will have a reliable basis for calculating the expected service life of high-visibility clothing.

years Mick has shown enormous dedication in developing effective facilities, warehousing, and resource processes. Not only does he have a great understanding of our customersʼ requirements, Mick values the importance of Senatorʼs ethos of working safely, efficiently and effectively, whilst at the same time creating a positive and enjoyable atmosphere for his immediate team members as well as all those he has daily contact with.” Mr Appleby said: “It has been a real pleasure working for such a caring company. Iʼm already looking forward to reaching my pearl anniversary.”


He was presented with cards, a special gift from all the employees, plus a ʻthank youʼ cheque from the company.

porting equipment supplier, Mr Cricket has brought lucrative personalisation services in-house following investment in a TrueVIS SG-300, saving more than £10,000 every year. The printer/cutter was installed in late 2016 and has streamlined the company's business processes, boosted profit margins, and delivered greater control over the quality and delivery of personalised apparel and equipment.


Since its installation Merrick Fuller, of the Burwell-based business, estimates that the printer has already saved the company thousands of pounds while enabling the addition of new print services including banners, sponsor boards, branded items and much more to Mr Cricket's portfolio.


Following on from the success of the Mr Cricket business, he has launched the Mr Hockey website, with a Mr Custom Clothing site in the offing.


Mr Fuller concluded: “These new sites have been established thanks to the natural growth of our customer base and their expanding requirements. The additional services that the Roland DG TrueVIS SG-300 printer/cutter has enabled us to offer has been a key part of this success.”
