Nanollose Limited provided shareholders with the following update on its collaboration with Paradise Textiles Limited. The Company entered into a collaboration agreement with Paradise, focused on developing and manufacturing yarns and textiles incorporating Nullarbor-20TM fibres. Paradise has successfully converted 135kg of Nullarbor-20 staple fibre into several types of yarn and subsequently knitted these yarns into a variety of fabrics, including four Single Jerseys, a French Terry and a Double Pique.

Several of the fabrics were blends of Nullarbor-20 with other fibres to produce blended fabrics known to be in demand by potential partners and the industry generally. Half the fabric has been dyed black and the other half left its natural white. In addition to manufacturing the fabrics, Paradise has undertaken extensive testing on the finished product including shrinkage, colour fastness, and pilling among others, with results indicating that the fabrics are of a high quality.

Paradise has also indicated that the Nullarbor-20 fibre performed extremely well in the production process. Both Nanollose and Paradise will continue the collaboration and will provide additional updates to shareholders as they materialise. The 135kg of Nullarbor-20 staple fibre used by Paradise to make the fabrics was part of the 260kg batch produced by Birla Cellulose at their pilot facilities earlier this year.
