With Metro, the facts are incontrovertible and only the reality, proven by data, count. There is no possibility for manipulation, only constant, reliable, and automatic performance measurement of the entire process. Detailed, analytical, or synthetic data according to necessity, but always objective and accurate in order to keep improving on the path to sustainability, savings and respect for the environment.

“We created this 5 episodes which will give to all the players of our business, real data in the name of practicality, transparency, responsibility.” continues to tell us Alice Tonello “5 videos that introduce you to the protagonists, the stars of an authentic revolution that represents a radical paradigm change as well as our contribution to helping the planet.”

Reducing development times for technical textiles by accelerated thermo-oxidative aging in a high-pressure autoclave

Synthetic polymers used in technical textiles can be effectively protected against degradation caused by heat, oxygen, and water through the use of stabilizer systems. This enables service lives of several decades, extending to more than 50 years. As the use of durable technical textiles continues to grow, so does the demand for reliable methods to predict their service life within economically feasible testing periods. For the first time the German Institutes of Textile and Fiber Research Denkendorf (DITF) developed methods for robust service life prediction for textiles in an IGF research project.
