[Parvathy Mills - Kollam (Quilon).Can we Open this Mill as a Nano textile Mill.]

Sri.Anantharamann,,M.Com,C &W A is a costing expert in textiles manufacturing. He joined the mills in the year 1967 as Secretary of Parvathy Mill employees co-operative society Ltd. at that period the mill was under Kerala Govt Managed mills.Sri S.Anantharaman is wondering if a Land that FED millions, the Land a gift of the King of Kerala will be handed over by interested men to some who will pollute the Land.

Parvathy Mill was known as University of Trade Unions but for Mr.Anantharaman who did his M.Com while working in the mills, it was his Post Graduate university.He joined the mills after the Mill was taken over by the 1972 Ordinance moved by the Prime Minister of India, Smt.Indira Gandhi who brought under her govt control all them (including non working textile mills) 111 textile mills which was in various stages of unproductive due to lockout,strike,closures and mismanagement by throwing out lakhs of workers on the street for months and no sight of reopening or mis managed like MSK Mills and Parvathi Mills which was under the famous Sri.Karimuthu Tyagarajar who ran over 1,00,000 spindles under his 18 textile mills spread over Tamil Nadu and Kerala. If he was alive, perhaps he could have managed all 111 textile Mills.As a mark of respect I insert a picture of Sri.Karimuthu Tyagaraja Chettiar's picture who is no more with us, he employed in his 18 Mills 1000 of Textile Tecnocrats and so many that he employed even to train by Japanese Expert Dr.T.Hanada and many other workmen.CAN WE TURN PARVATHY MILL AS A Nano Textile Mill? YES WE CAN.

His Highness Visakham Thirunal Rama Varma, the then Maharaja of Travancore took the initiative to start a spinning mill in Quilon city (now known as Kollam) which was then business capital of Travancore along the Malabar Coast. He donated the land to start the AD Cotton Mill in 1884. The land was handed over to National Textile Corporation in 1974.

The NTC planned to privatize Parvathy Mills in 2005. The plant was added by the Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction who had listed it for revival in 2002. The plan was dropped after protests by the Parvathy Mills Workers Union.Along with many other mills in Mumbai, Coimbatore, Ahmadabad, Aurangabad, Akola, Nanded, Naini, Jaipur and Udaipur, Parvathy Mill was slated for redevelopment and modernization in 2007 and 2012. To date these improvements have not taken place, and mill has been closed since 2008.As per the market rates in 2019, the total land value of Parvathy Mill would be more than ₹500 crore (US$70 million). The defunct mill's machinery has already become outdated and rusted beyond revival.

Representatives from Kollam along with organizations staged a dharna and march in February 2014 to try to obtain the Parvathy Mill land as the site for a government medical college. The mill is on 16.40 acres of prime city land[4] valued at more than Rs.4 billion (US$64 million) as per the market value of 2014.[citation needed] As of December 2014, administrative delays in deciding on a site and obtaining land continue to delay the start of construction of the new college.

The company was founded in 1884 by British citizen A.D. Cotton and was the lifeline of Kollam before independence. This mill was taken for rent for running by a Tamil enterprise after Independence as the land was owned by the Kerala State Textile Corporation at that time. It was later was handed over to the NTC. The company has 120 employees, six of which are NTC staffers and 17 are casual workers. The plant has been shut down since 2008 pending modernization. However, there is demand to build a bird sanctuary connected to backwaters.

Nanotextiles Opportunities and Global Markets, 2019-2024

May 29, 2019 07:11 ET | Source: Research and Markets

Dublin, May 29, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)The "Nanotextiles: Opportunities and Global Markets" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com

This report provides an updated review of nanotextile technology, including materials and production processes, and identifies current and emerging applications for this technology.

Nanotextiles are a class of textiles that utilize nanotechnology during their fabrication process. In particular, the term nanotextiles applies to four categories of products: nanocoated textiles, fabrics consisting of nanofiber webs, textiles obtained from composite fibers based on nanostructures, and nanoporous textiles.

Although the origin of nanotechnology can be traced back to the 4th century, the first nanotextiles were only introduced during the 1980s in the form of nanofiber-based membranes for filtration. During the past 40 years, sales of nanotextiles have expanded steadily and are currently experiencing very strong growth, due to their increasing use in the fabrication of mass-market products within a range of sectors

This study provides an updated, comprehensive description of nanotextiles and their characteristics, highlighting the latest developments in their fabrication technology and features. It also offers a detailed market analysis for these products by segment (nanotextile type, functionality, nanostructured material, application, and region), describing technical aspects and trends that will affect future growth of this market.

The publisher has divided all the applications where nanotextiles have current and potential use in two main groups: consumer products and technical products.

Consumer products, which include mainly apparel and household articles, currently account for the largest share of the market. Within this segment, nanotextiles are being used primarily for the fabrication of high-performance outerwear and stocking.

Sales of nanotextiles are projected to continue rising at a double-digit rate during the next five years.

Relevant factors that will contribute to market expansion through 2024 are the following:

Increasing penetration in large industry sectors such as apparel, filtration and separation, catalysis, biomedical, energy, and automotive.

Greater utilization in the fabrication of products characterized by strong demand, such as membranes, photocatalysts, and tissue engineering scaffolds.

Growing market penetration of nanotextiles in developing countries.

Increasing the use of these products in wearable electronics and wearable medical devices.

High levels of related R&D activities.

 What is Nano Textiles.

Nanotechnology fabrics are textiles manufactured to have special qualities like hydrophobicity and high durability. 

Nanotechnology fabrics are a relatively new and expanding field. They have 

 applications in bio engineering, electrical engineering and computer science.

 

 How are nanoparticles used in clothing?

Garment makers have also been using silica nanoparticles on the surface of textiles to create liquid-repellent clothing. The nanoparticles create enough surface tension to keep liquids from soaking into the fabric. Instead, liquid spilt on this fabric forms into beads that can easily roll-off.

  Is Nano fabric breathable

 

Fabric Is Waterproof, Breathable, and Brought to You by Science. Almost every piece of adventure-ready clothing now has advanced tech woven into its fabric in an effort to be as waterproof and as breathable as possible. Futurelight will eventually be woven into nearly everything the a company makes.

 

  Is Nanotex fabric safe?

The short-chain varieties (with six or fewer carbon-fluorine bonds) used in newer formulations of Scotchgard and by Crypton, GreenShield, NanoSphere, Nanotex, and others are considered less bioaccumuative and less toxic, but they are extremely persistent in the environment, and there is growing evidence on this. 

Is Nano Mask washable?

Nano Fiber Face Mask - Reusable & Washable it is #1 in Korea  

Nano still untested so needs technical expertise  USA Laws.  

Now US laws require manufacturers to label clothing that uses either nano-silver or nano-titanium dioxide.

Watch for labels making claims like “anti-bacterial,” “odor-eliminating,” or “hygienic,” which may indicate the presence of nanosilver. Clothing labeled as offering sun protection may contain nano-titanium dioxide. Contact manufacturers and ask questions before purchasing. And let them know you want them to avoid nanoparticles in their products.

“Consumers are the ones driving the market and having power,”. “Asking questions of manufacturers—that’s where change will come in the market.”
