China's First PET Spunbonded Needle Punched Nonwovens Equipment Has Been Put Into Operation.

From Dalian Synthetic fiber The annual output of 5500 tons of Limited by Share Ltd developed by the research and Design Institute is recycled. PET (polyester bottle) spunbonded needle punched nonwovens production line, the complete set of industrialization equipment has been put into operation in Shandong Hao Yang new material Co., Ltd.

This is the first (set) of our country to regenerate PET. raw material The industrial device for producing spunbonded needle punched nonwovens has a product width of 6.6 meters and a product weight range of 100~800g/m2. It has uniform cloth surface and high strength. Using recycled PET flakes to produce geotextiles, its performance index has reached the national standard of "GB/T 17639-2008 geosynthetics filament spunbonded needle punched nonwoven geotextiles". The construction of the project has opened up new application fields of recycled PET bottles, and has played an active role in promoting environmental protection and comprehensive utilization of resources. At the same time, it has provided low cost and high profit production technology platform for the vast majority of enterprises in the nonwovens industry.

According to the Dalian Textile Association, cotton prices have risen rapidly recently, and the "328" and "329" cotton price per ton has risen from 14000 yuan at the beginning of the year to 18000 yuan, or 30%. Affected by this, 21 commonly used cotton yarns used in the past year were 18000 yuan per ton, and now it has reached about 28000 yuan. From the beginning of spring this year, cotton prices have risen by 25%-30% in general, such as the price of pure cotton jersey has risen by nearly 10000 yuan per ton.

The soaring price of cotton, cotton yarn and cotton cloth not only shifted the cost to the downstream garment industry, but also engulfed the profits of garment enterprises. According to estimates, because cotton accounts for about 40% of the cost of clothing, and cotton price rises by 5% every time, the profits of garment enterprises will drop by 2%.

Dalian has more than 300 garment enterprises above Designated Size, and most of them are under pressure due to rising cotton prices. In particular, the export oriented clothing enterprises, the appreciation of the renminbi and the increase in labor costs have been breathless, and now the sharp rise in raw materials is undoubtedly worse. Some garment enterprises are hesitant to face overseas orders, and "fat meat to the mouth" is a true portrayal of Dalian clothing enterprises.

According to insiders, the increase in cotton prices is mainly due to tight supply and demand. In 2009, the cotton planting area in China decreased, and the total output was about 6 million 400 thousand tons, about 1 million 100 thousand tons less than in 2008. With the global economy improving, foreign orders increased this year, stimulating the demand of domestic textile enterprises for cotton. Second, natural disasters cause global cotton production reduction. According to market forecasts, China's flood will lead to a reduction in cotton production by 5%-10%. About 30% cotton fields in Pakistan and other cotton producing areas are damaged. Some large enterprises in the industry hoarding cotton speculation also led to a rise in cotton prices. At present, the market is still used last year's cotton. In October this year, the new cotton market will stabilize cotton prices for the next few months. However, because of the less domestic cotton output this year, the overall trend of cotton prices will continue to rise in the future.

In this regard, Dalian garment enterprises began to take some measures. For example, we should purchase raw materials through many channels, take account of domestic and foreign raw materials market, or directly purchase farmers' seed cotton; some garment factories should reduce cotton use and use more polyester raw materials. Enterprises with brand advantage have begun to raise their clothing prices in autumn and winter this year. It is expected that the wholesale price of cotton in autumn and winter will increase by 10%-15%.
