Precision Textiles Introduces Innovative Mattress Knits.

Farifield – Totowa – Precision Textiles, which recently diversified its production capability with the installation of circular knitting technology at its facility in Troy, North Carolina, has unveiled a series of new flame retardant knitted fabrics.

According to a news article in Knitting Trade Journal – The company exhibited at the International Sleep Products Association (ISPA) Expo in March where it introduced four new technologies, which garnered attention from attendees for their commitment to advancing Fire Retardant (FR) solutions to the sleep products industry.

Among the highlights was the introduction of IQFIT Flex, a patented FR material known for its ability to better maintain mattress comfort and enhance sleep performance in mattress designs.

This versatile material can be transformed into a variety of FR solution products, including traditional FR socks, open width format for laminating to mattress fabrics, or with the company’s patent pending IQFIT Glass Free NOSO Sock.

The NOSO Sock garnered additional attention for its ability to streamline the assembly process, reduce costs and increase throughput by eliminating the need for traditional sewing, stapling or gluing techniques.

IQFIT Comfort also made its inaugural debut. This specially engineered FR inherent fabric was designed for use by both mattress manufacturers and cut and sew cover suppliers and is perfectly positioned toward the promotional, residential and hospitality markets.

Building on its partnership with Repreve the company also showcased its Endure IFR and Advantage SB nonwoven products. Every 100-yard roll of these products includes Repreve recycled performance fibre that is made from 228 recycled water bottles. As a result, Precision Textiles will eliminate more than 20 million plastic water bottles from waste streams on an annual basis.

Attendees at the Expo were visibly impressed by the company’s pioneering use of Repreve in its nonwoven products and its environmentally conscious implications, the company said.

“Mattress producers attend ISPA Expo to learn about new products, gather new ideas and connect with people,” said Scott Tesser, CEO of Precision Textiles. “We saw a robust flow of traffic through our booth including a steady stream of high-calibre executives who were eager to hear about our offerings and were impressed with our products and the solutions they offer. Being lauded for our dedication to pushing the boundaries of textile engineering is rewarding for our team. It cements our reputation as a trusted innovator and pioneer in the industry.”
