Low Costs Luring Indian Textile Makers to Bangladesh

Many Indian garment makers are shifting base or opening new units in neighbouring Bangladesh to take advantage of low labour cost and duty concessions on exports to US and European markets.

“Labour cost in Bangladesh is almost one-third of that in India. Average monthly labour cost in India is over Rs.7,000 per person, while it is just around Rs.2,500 in Bangladesh,” said D.K. Nair, secretary general of the Confederation of Indian Textile Industry.

“More than 35 Indian textile firms have opened factories in Bangladesh so far, most of them in the recent months,” Nair, who oversees the apex industry body for the $55-billion Indian textile industry, said.

The seasonal pickers “ask for higher pay this year, while the cotton price is lower than last year. We can’t make ends meet”, he said.

Launch of high-performance UV absorber Tinuvin® 1600

Tinuvin® 1600 is a novel UV absorber which provides extremely long-lasting UV protection to high-performance thermoplastics. It exhibits an outstanding UV absorption capacity resulting in minimal loss of optical properties for stringent weathering requirements. Very low volatility allows excellent processing characteristics. Tinuvin® 1600 sets a new industry benchmark in ultra-high durability which cannot be achieved with current UV technologies.

Can this be used in the textile industry?  We better check with BASF.
