DSM Dyneema courts bloggers for rigging competition
Skippers on performance cruisers can have their boats rigged for free if they take part in a new blogging competition organized by high-strength fiber maker DSM Dyneema. “If you are one of the 40 skippers selected to join the 2011 Dyneema® Experience Team, we will re-rig your boat together with our partners, at our cost, with ropes made with Dyneema®,” says Marcel Alberts Global Marketing Manager Yarn at DSM Dyneema. “All we ask is that you put the rigging through its paces, and tell the sailing world how you get on with it via social media channels like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Flickr.”
Muttenz, December 20, 2010 - The mood of fashion is changing: there is a feeling of greater optimism and the color forecasters are seeing the seasonal warmth, enthusiasm and clarity of spring and summer as major influences on the new color palette and fashion trends for 2012. Interpreting fashion themes into reality is always a challenge, often made more difficult when applied to such a unique and varied substrate as leather. It is a challenge that Clariant welcomes and its trend and color forecasts of the immediate past have been extremely accurate. This was clearly evidenced by the offers on show at the most recent Le Cuir à Paris and Lineapelle exhibitions when the finished leathers for Autumn/Winter 2011/2012 were displayed.

Muttenz, December 15, 2010 - For those in the leather industry, certain words are instantly associated with tanning — just think of mimosa, quebracho or chrome — and now the industry will have another: Granofin®, specifically Granofin Easy F-90. It is the key to the chemistry behind the launch of Clariant’s new EasyWhite Tan, which will itself justify its place alongside Wet Blue and Wet White among tanners.
