At present, the sales volume of global functional textiles market is 50 billion US dollars per year, and the demand of domestic textiles is about 50 billion RMB. It is reported that in the future, the sales volume of functional textiles will increase by 3.8% every year, new technologies and new products will be constantly updated, and the market prospect will be bright. Functional textiles have great market potential. In addition to their own basic use value, they also have one or more kinds of effects, such as antibacterial, acaricidal, mildew proof, antiviral, mosquito proof, moth proof, flame retardant, wrinkle proof and non iron proof, water and oil repellent, UV proof, electromagnetic radiation proof, fragrance, magnetic therapy, infrared ray physiotherapy, negative ion health care, etc., which can be used in military, textile and other fields All aspects of industry and life. With the development of China's economy, people's living standards continue to improve, life is good, people's demand for textile functionality is growing, higher and higher requirements.
Especially in recent years, environmental problems are particularly acute. People's functional requirements for masks are not limited to warmth, but more inclined to professional masks with haze prevention function. Professional haze prevention masks are often sold out of stock. Zhao Danqing, chairman of Shanghai Xingnuo Kanglun Fiber Technology Co., Ltd., said: "this is the golden age of mask demand. Our enterprises are constantly receiving orders and are often in short supply."
At the same time, with the gradual improvement of people's health requirements, antibacterial textiles are becoming more and more popular and have more varieties. From underwear to insole, antibacterial function infiltrates into every corner of textiles.
Not only in life, but also in industry, with the enrichment of people's cultural knowledge, safety and protection textiles are widely used in the industrial field“ Nowadays, the harm caused by static electricity is extensive and serious. For example, the sparks generated by static electricity are easy to explode with flammable and explosive gases or articles, and cause the loss of state, enterprise property and people's life and property. " Chen Mingqing, chairman of Zhejiang lantianhai textile and Apparel Technology Co., Ltd., said that the harm of static electricity to electronic products can not be ignored. It can cause functional disorder and even component damage of electronic products and equipment.
According to the different use environment, the protective textiles have the functions of anti cutting, anti stabbing, bulletproof, explosion-proof, fireproof, dustproof, anti biochemical, anti radiation, etc. The personnel working on the high-voltage power tower should wear anti arc suits, the personnel working in some areas of the nuclear power plant should wear anti radiation suits, the personnel spraying pesticides and disinfectants should wear anti chemical pollution suits, the astronauts walking in space should wear space suits, the firefighters should wear fire suits, even the cleaners on the road should also wear dust suits with warning signs. These protective articles and clothing are widely used in petroleum, metallurgy, power generation, water conservancy, mining, shipping, fire protection, life saving and other aspects. With the state's attention to the safety of workers, the research and development of this kind of textiles is becoming more and more intense.
"The importance of healthy life has made the functional textile industry rise rapidly, which has occupied an increasingly important position in the development of China's national economy." Chen Mingqing said that the development of functional textiles abroad has taken on a large scale, especially the attention paid by the people in Europe and the United States to health, which has continuously expanded the market of functional textiles. Although our country started late, the overall development momentum is strong and the market potential is large.
New achievements emerge in endlessly
With the rapid development of functional textiles in China, the R & D of functional textiles is on the rise. With the increasing consumer demand for some special functional textiles, the research and development of functional textiles has attracted great attention and wide participation of many domestic scientific research institutions, universities and textile and garment enterprises, and a number of functional textiles research achievements continue to emerge The industrial structure with increasingly perfect functions and relatively stable development. The R & D and application of functional textiles are developing in the direction of multi fields, multi industries, multi disciplines, industrialization and industry university research collaboration, and new achievements emerge in endlessly.
In recent years, the research and industrialization of functional textiles in China has developed rapidly. New textile products with antibacterial and odor proof, far-infrared, anti ultraviolet, anti-static, anti electromagnetic radiation, oil repellent and waterproof, negative ion, fire retardant, waterproof and moisture permeable, high moisture absorption, anti oil, anti mosquito and other functions have been successfully developed and come out, and have attracted the attention and favor of consumers.
Shanghai Xingnuo Kanglun Fiber Technology Co., Ltd. is an excellent representative of the development of functional textile enterprises. The Green Shield PM2.5 mask of Kanglun has been on sale since September 2012. Last year, Kanglun Aerospace underwear entered the market again. This underwear is developed to meet the needs of the general public. It uses Kanglun fiber, which is patented by Kanglun. It eliminates the functions of anti ultraviolet and flame retardant that are not needed by ordinary people. Kanglun space underwear, a new generation of space underwear with the functions of self-cleaning, antibacterial, deodorization, moisture absorption and perspiration, has been developed, which greatly reduces the production cost, meets the needs of ordinary people to wear space underwear, and enjoys the fruits of safe and healthy life brought by this high technology. As soon as the underwear came out, it has been widely praised in the industry. Zhao Danqing said, "what the public needs is what we strive for."
When it comes to technology update, Chen Mingqing said that in 2010, Zhejiang lantianhai Textile Clothing Technology Co., Ltd. cooperated with Jiangnan Branch of China Academy of Textile Sciences to develop functional fabrics such as moisture absorption and quick drying, UV protection, PTFE lamination and thermal insulation, and won a number of national invention patents. In 2012, Zhejiang lantianhai cooperated with Tsinghua University, relying on Tsinghua University's advantages in fashion design, to design international safety protection tooling with industry characteristics and representing corporate image for industrial workers. In 2013, Professor Song Guowen, a global thermal protection expert and a senior technical consultant from the College of human ecology, University of Alberta, Canada, was employed to be mainly responsible for the research and development and application of cooling fabrics. At present, "Lanxiang elsette" cooling fabrics have reached the international leading level. Blue sky and sea make functional textiles change to beautiful and comfortable on the basis of maintaining the function of anti-static and safety protection, which is also the beginning of internationalization of functional professional wear.
As the largest and most professional anti-static safety fabric supplier in China, lantianhai has developed from a single anti-static fabric to Lanxiang brand anti-static safety fabric series with independent intellectual property rights, from a fabric production base to five production bases all over the country, from small-scale product marketing to global marketing. It can be said that this is the result of paying attention to the construction of independent innovation ability and continuously introducing new technologies and products.
