The seven wolves of Instant Relais tell you with practical actions why they love popular fiber
Right now, it is the scorching sun season in the Northern Hemisphere. When you wear a breathable and refreshing T-shirt, you may not imagine that its raw material may come from corn; when you drink a glass of iced Coke, you may not imagine that after the Coke bottle is recycled and reused, it goes through a series of process, it can be turned into recycled polyester yarn for the production of clothing; when you wear a sun protection garment, you may not imagine that its sun protection function is actually made into clothing yarn Comes with…
Indeed, the world of fiber materials is so exciting. What is the current situation of downstream companies using popular fibers? What kind of characteristics can various types of fibers with green, functional, differentiated and other characteristics give textiles? Recently, reporters from China Textile News interviewed relevant persons in charge of a number of yarn, fabric, clothing and home textile companies.
Increasing environmental protection fiber usage is the general trend
Green has become one of the key points for the development of high quality in my country’s textile and chemical fiber industry. Especially since last year, affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, consumers’ demand for functional textiles such as green health, antibacterial and antibacterial products has increased significantly, which has driven upstream green fiber materials to become more and more popular in the market.
Green fibers include three categories: solution dyed chemical fibers, recycled chemical fibers and bio-based chemical fibers. The products have typical green, ecological and environmentally friendly attributes. The use of solution-dyed chemical fibers in the weaving process can reduce or eliminate the printing and dyeing process. The raw materials for producing recycled chemical fibers include discarded polyester bottles and waste textiles, etc., which can realize “turning waste into treasure” and is very consistent with the development concept of circular economy. The development of bio-based chemical fibers can reduce the consumption of petrochemical resources, and the finished products can be naturally degraded.
This year, among the companies selected as China FiberFashion Trends‘s “2021 Best Annual Partner”, there are a number of companies that have used green fibers and developed and produced many products. Textiles.
Qingdao Jifa Group Co., Ltd. has established multiple scientific research platforms, including clothing materials research and development laboratories and green technology product research laboratories. Jifa cooperated with Anhui Fengyuan Biomaterials Co., Ltd., a leading polylactic acid fiber company, to realize the integration of polylactic acid fiber and polylactic acid fiber through innovation in weaving, dyeing and finishing With the reasonable combination of other fibers, new functional fabrics can be developed. The antibacterial function of this fabric can reach 3A level after relevant testing. It has antibacterial and antimite effects, can be dyed, and can maintain good strength and elasticity.
Huafang Co., Ltd. is one of the leading enterprises in my country’s textile industry. Its business involves textile printing and dyeing, clothing processing, home textile products, medical protective products and other fields. In 2020, Huafang Co., Ltd.’s operating income was 3.34 billion yuan, and the net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company was 17.8221 million yuan. In terms of product research and development, the company implements the “three new” principle, including new technologies, new products, and new materials. In the past two years, Huafang Co., Ltd. has strengthened its docking and cooperation with new fiber material manufacturers, overcome the problem of polylactic acid fiber dyeing, and developed and produced multi-color, high-quality polylactic acid fiber fabrics.
Yuyue Home Textile Co., Ltd. is a strategic supplier of international brands such as IKEA, Decathlon, and Wal-Mart, as well as many domestic first-line home textile brands such as Luolai, Fuanna, and Mercury, as well as new retail brands such as NetEase Select, Suning.com, and Jingdong Made. . Yuyue Home Textiles uses polylactic acid fiber from Anhui Fengyuan Biomaterials Co., Ltd. Based on the performance characteristics of the fiber, it continues to study the feasibility of blending polylactic acid fiber with other fibers and conducts performance research on different blending ratios. Yuyue Home Textiles has also developed low-temperature and low-alkali pre-treatment technology for polylactic acid fiber, low-temperature disperse dyeing and printing technology, and low-temperature finishing technology.
The person in charge of Yuyue Home Textiles said: “Through innovation and breakthroughs in spinning, weaving and printing and dyeing processes, the company has used polylactic acid fiber to complete the series of yarn-dyed yarn-dyed spinning, dyeing, reactive printing and pigment printing products. Developed and cooperated with IKEA, Luolai and other brands to form a stable mass production. Currently, home textile products made of polylactic acid fiber are loved by consumers.”
Kuangda Automotive Trim Systems Co., Ltd. is mainly engaged in transportation vehicle interior skin materials. It is the only global automotive interior fabric supplier in China that has passed the German Volkswagen BMG certification. According to reports, Kuangda Company has developed an “ecological multifunctional vehicle interior fabric” using recycled colored polyester fiber. In accordance with the concept of the full life cycle of this product, the possible impact on the resource environment in all aspects such as raw material selection, production, use, recycling, etc. was fully considered at the beginning of the design. It starts from the source to reduce resource consumption, and strives to reduce resource consumption throughout the entire life cycle. Maximize resource conservation and reduce environmental pollution. In December 2020, its independently developed “ecological multi-functional�, the antibacterial rate after washing exceeds the relevant national standards. Home textile products made of this fabric have strong functionality and can meet consumers’ needs for healthy home textile products.
“A man has more than one face, and his character is always the same.” Xiamen Septwolves Knitting Co., Ltd. mainly produces knitted series of underwear, home clothes, socks, towels and other products. The products cover Wal-Mart, Auchan, Carrefour, Yonghui, China Resources, etc. Numerous hypermarkets and local supermarkets. At the same time, Septwolves’ new technology products have performed outstandingly in the underwear category sales on multiple e-commerce platforms.
According to reports, Septwolves Knitting Company uses aerospace technology antibacterial polyester and bamboo fiber produced by Jilin Chemical Fiber Group to interweave it so that the knitted products have “double antibacterial” antibacterial properties; the antibacterial polyester is used to absorb water and quickly Dry technology, combined with the jacquard mesh structure, strengthens the water absorption and quick-drying properties of knitted products; we have also made process improvements in weaving, dyeing and finishing processes, and mixed additives with different properties to effectively improve the feel of the fabric. down, minimizing the chance of the fabric pilling after friction.
The relevant person in charge of Septwolves Knitting Company introduced: “The company continues to upgrade and optimize its products and supply chain, starting from the source, interacting deeply with suppliers in fiber, yarn, weaving, dyeing and finishing, etc., and constantly developing Functional new products have embedded ‘black technology’ into the products.
