[ Sonovia’s technique, developed at Bar-Ilan University, could also make fabrics fire resistant, water repellent and even body odor-proof. ]
Hospital bedsheets and patient gowns are a major conduit for transferring dangerous
bacteria estimated to infect 1.7 million hospitalized Americans and 3.5 million
hospitalized Europeans every year. In the United States, hospital-acquired infections
kill about 98,000 people yearly.
While the materials used to make these items generally contain an antibacterial
coating, it washes out after as few as 15 cleaning cycles.
Chemistry professors Aharon Gedanken and Ilana Perelshtei from Bar-Ilan University
have developed a new way to bacteria-proof the fabrics used in a hospital.
Their method uses ultrasound waves to induce a physical phenomenon known as
“cavitation,” in which rapid changes of pressure in a liquid lead to the formation
of tiny vapor-filled cavities. Antibacterial chemicals can then be propelled onto the
molecular structure of the fabric at tremendous speed.The technique can be used at the final stage of manufacturing and works with all
types of fabric.
That compares with the two main technologies for making antibacterial fabric today:
“extrusion,” in which silver, copper or zinc particles are inserted into the raw
material used to make synthetic fibers, and “fabric finishing,” which adds an
antibacterial liquid to the manufacturing process, which then chemically binds to the
fabrics. Israeli company Cupron is a leader in using the extrusion method.Both methods are
limited to polymer-based fabrics, so they can’t be used for cotton
or nylon. And they’re highly polluting, both in the manufacturing process and at
point of use, where the chemicals can leach out of the fabric.
Gedanken and Perelshtein’s technique uses far fewer chemicals while maintaining a
fabric’s antibacterial properties for up to 65 launderings at 92 degrees Celsius or
100 washing cycles at 75 degrees Celsius.
In 2009, the European Union gave the professors a €12 million grant to assemble a
consortium of 16 manufacturers, universities and government agencies to develop and
test the technology. A 60-centimeter machine was built, and thousands of meters of
fabric were coated. A clinical trial was conducted in a hospital in Bulgaria.
In 2013, the project was spun out of the university into a company called Nanotextile,
which received a global license from Bar-Ilan to commercialize the technology.
The license, however, excluded North America and raising money therefore became
nearly impossible, so the company stalled.
It wasn’t until 2017, when Nanotextile renegotiated the acquisition of a North
American license, that the potential of Gedanken and Perelshtein’s antibacterial
innovation finally took off.
The company was rebranded as Sonovia. Elli Assa, an Israeli textile industry executive
and senior lecturer at the Shenkar College of Engineering, Design and Art, was
recruited as CEO.
One of Assa’s first acts was to ink a deal with Bruckner Textile Machinery, a leading
manufacturer with experience in the extrusion technique for antibacterial coating.
The companies together designed a pilot machine based on Sonovia’s technology. The
sheets could be used in hospitals as early as next year.
Microbubbles
Sonovia’s vice president of business development Roy Hirsch described to ISRAEL21c
how the company’s technology works.
“Microbubbles form inside a specially-designed chemical solution using ultrasound
waves,” Hirsch says. “Outside the bubbles, the temperature might be 40 degrees
Celsius, but inside it’s around 5,000 degrees. The bubbles collapse and shoot a
jet stream onto the nearest surface. It’s like shooting a bullet out of a gun.
Inside the solution, there will be thousands of these microbubbles, collapsing and
shooting only the chemicals we want onto the surface of the fabric.”
This shooting process attaches the antibacterial chemicals onto the fabric without
the need for chemical binders. “This results in a reduction of 50 percent of the
chemicals in the finishing process,” Hirsch says.
The bubbles are tiny, but they’re not quite nano-sized, which is defined by
regulatory agencies as between one to 100 nanometers.
“We’re operating in 150-200 nanometers,” Hirsch says. That’s still small, but it
necessitated a name change from Nanotextile to Sonovia. “Sono” comes from a process
known as “sono-chemical coating.”
According to Sonovia’s partnership with Bruckner, the latter will manufacture and
market the machine, while Sonovia will sell the chemicals. It’s the same model that
printer manufacturers like HP employ, where the printer itself is relatively
inexpensive and HP makes money by selling the ink. Sonovia’s chemicals, like printer
ink, are consumables that need to be replaced.
Fire-, water- and odor-proof
Like many good startup stories, a surprising twist happened shortly after Sonovia
was established: Assa and his team realized that the technology Gedanken and
Perelshtein had developed was relevant to more than just antibacterial sheets.
It could be used for all manner of textile additions – for example, it could make
fabrics fire resistant, water repellant and even body odor-proof.
“We can make a shirt that prevents body odor and lasts longer than similar shirts
on the market,” Hirsch says.
Moreover, Sonovia’s process, which reduces the amount of chemicals required, is
exactly what textile manufacturers – who are becoming increasingly concerned with the
environmental impact of their products – have started to demand.
That’s what another company ISRAEL21c has written about recently discovered.
Twine has built a machine to digitally print colors onto thread, eliminating much
of the water and chemicals used in the traditional thread-dyeing process.
“We think Twine is brilliant,” Hirsch says. “It’s a completely different technology
with completely different customers, but it’s a blessing what they’re doing.”
Jerusalem-based Argaman is also developing antibacterial sono-coatings,
Hirsch notes. “However, they focus on treating threads rather than ready-made
fabrics, and their business model is a coating center serving the textile industry,
meaning you have to ship threads back and forth.” In contrast, Sonovia will place its
machines in textile mills.
“The textile industry has basically been operating in the same way for years,”
Hirsch says. “It’s unsustainable. China is closing hundreds of plants because of
pollution. Regulation is increasing. This industry will transform into something
completely different. “
Hirsch says brands have started to pick up on consumers’ desire to wear clothing
produced in a less polluting way.
Sonovia was picked in 2017 to participate in the Fashion for Good Plug and Play
Accelerator in Amsterdam, intended for startups trying to make the fashion industry
more environmentally friendly and socially aware.
It was in the accelerator that Sonovia began developing its fire- and water-resistant
products. Sonovia received a $230,000 investment from the accelerator when it
“graduated” last year. The company is now in a follow-up program that Hirsch says will grant
Sonovia access to high-end brands such as Gucci and Calvin Klein.
Gedanken and Perelshtein are advisers to the company while continuing their work at
Bar-Ilan. Sonovia has raised $1.3 million in addition to the original European Union
grant.
“The fashion industry is one of the biggest polluters in the world,” Hirsch says.
If Sonovia succeeds, it can help reduce the amount of chemicals wasted, keep hospital
patients safer from superbugs, and producing what Hirsch promises will be “fabric
that will always feel as soft as when it left the store.”

[ Filthy Fashion Scorecard. ]
Against points-based criteria, Stand.earth has graded the ambitions of leading apparel brands to drive sustainable change throughout their supply chains to create a list that clearly depicts those taking the boldest steps against those taking none at all.
Whilst Levi’s was joined by only American Eagle Outfitters as a brand with ambitions that would meet or reduce the 1.5°C warming threshold, a flurry of firms including Primark, Under Armour, Nordstrom and JC Penney scored zero, demonstrating no clear willingness to reduce scope one to three greenhouse gasses (GHGs) or utilise renewable energy.

UNCOMPROMISING OBSESSION FOR QUALITY. Quality assurance is carefully imbibed in every
process and is every employee's
obsession. It begins at the Ginnery. Loyal's cotton
selectors choose the gins from where Loyal buys
its cotton. The cotton is thoroughly tested using
HVI instruments and issued for mixing, using a
bale management system which ensures a narrow band
of average yellowness and micronaire values.
Fully equipped quality control labs:
High volume cotton testing to ensure that every bale is tested. Loyal's
own bale management system is followed while mixing different bales
AFIS advanced fibre information system is used to get a clearer picture
of the cotton and process slivers
Mesdon: For online measurement of neps at carding and cambers at all units
Yarn and sliver quality testing machines including fabric simulator with a
software to identify the source of defect
Tensorapid: Single yarn strength testers to determine the RKM
Classimat: Loyal is having Class iQON, an advanced yarn fault detection
and classification instrument. Using a combination of Visible Light and
Infrared technology, the machine detects fiber mass variations, splice
faults and foreign fibre contamination, including white polypropylene.
Both cleared and uncleared yarn are tested regularly to identify the
faults and based on the test results the process parameters and clearer
settings are optimized to get the best quality. Loyal uses a combination of cottons from Egypt, USA, Israel and India
to produce yarns for different customer specifications. 100% of both
knit and woven cloths grey, as well as dyed are inspected before packing.
