Upgrading Of Chemical Fiber To Seize A New Round Of Competition

In 2009, China's chemical fiber production reached 27 million 260 thousand tons, accounting for 60% of the world's total output, of which polyester polyester production was 22 million 40 thousand tons, accounting for about 2/3 of the world. Home textiles In the three major fields of industrial textiles, the amount of chemical fiber will reach 65%, 72% and 90% respectively in 2010. This "overwhelming" data confirms the rapid development of the chemical fiber industry, and also gives the industry a major responsibility. It can be said that every step of the transformation and upgrading of the chemical fiber industry affects the nerves of textile and even more extensive industries.

"12th Five-Year" is close at hand. In order to explore the transformation and upgrading of polyester polyester industry again and again, on December 3~5, the China Chemical Fiber Association held the Forum on polyester and polyester industry innovation and development as scheduled. At the same time, it also hosted the "2010 functional Home Textile Forum" for the first time with the China Textile Association, the China Cotton Textile Association and the China dyeing and Printing Association.

Grab a new round of competition opportunities

President of China Chemical Fiber Association End Xiaoping Once again, the direction of the development of the chemical fiber industry in 12th Five-Year is clearly defined: no longer advocate the rapid growth of the total volume, but turn to the pursuit of quality and benefit growth. Over the past ten years, the chemical fiber industry has made remarkable progress. During the period 2000~2005, the average growth rate of the industry was more than 16%; in the past 5 years, the growth rate of the industry was around 10%. Xiaoping pointed out that during the "12th Five-Year" period, the reasonable growth rate of the industry will be controlled at 5%, including the elimination of backward production capacity, the traditional polyester functional modification and the development of PTT, PBT, PEN and other new types of polyester application space.

With China's chemical fiber industry playing the leading role in the world, technological progress, product development and other heavy responsibilities have also fallen to China. End Xiaoping analysis pointed out that on the one hand, the future upgrading of the world's chemical fiber industry mainly depends on China. If domestic progress is slow, it is likely to drag down the progress of the world's chemical fiber industry. On the other hand, the developed countries have begun to seize the commanding heights of advanced materials and biological industries. If China falls behind in this round of competition, it will become very passive.

At the meeting, representatives from orukang pahmag introduced the company's advanced energy-saving technologies, such as high frequency. Wire guide plate Technology can reduce energy consumption by 20%. From the introduction of this well-known equipment manufacturer, some representatives discovered the track of technological progress in polyester polyester industry. Wang Huaping, a professor at Donghua University, pointed out that the third stage of the advantage of late development of polyester polyester industry may be imminent. The large-scale use of energy saving and environmental protection technology and equipment will be the main feature of this stage. Since 2000, the polyester polyester industry in China has made full use of the advantages of late development, and has made remarkable achievements by using international advanced technology and equipment to upgrade the industry level. In 2005, Wang Huaping divided the past 10 years into two stages of utilizing the advantage of backwardness. He thinks who can seize the opportunity in the next third stages, who will become the leader in the industry again.

The representative of Zhejiang Tong Kun group put forward a viewpoint after summarizing the technology of chemical fiber at home and abroad: backward technology is more terrible than equipment backward, and domestic technology is relatively backward. She extended the concept of "allowing enterprises to become the main body of innovation" to "allow enterprises to become the main body of new technology applications". Relatively speaking, scientific research institutes are more powerful in the research of technological achievements, and with the help of their own advantages, enterprises can rapidly promote these new technologies, such as the polyester soda ash regeneration project and cationic dyeable polyester project co operated by Tong Kun and Shanghai polyyou chemical industry.

Docking home textile industry

Functionality is a key point in the structural adjustment of the home textile industry in the future. As an important raw material industry, the development and matching of multifunctional fiber is undoubtedly the "responsibility" of the chemical fiber industry.

Ye Yongmao, chief technology adviser of China Chemical Fiber Association, classified functional textile fibers into 5 categories: safety protection (flame retardancy, antistatic, high temperature resistance, etc.); health care functions (antibacterial, anti mites, far-infrared, deodorization, etc.); skin comfort (nano high sensibility, moisture absorption and sweat perspiration); featured environmental protection (intelligent, discoloring, whitening, Tencel, etc.); functional improvement and upgrading of old varieties (flame retardant functional hollow and stuffing materials, etc.). {page_break}

The fire in "11. 15" high-rise residential buildings in Shanghai has been lament so far, which has aroused widespread concern about the promotion of the use of flame-retardant products. Zhangjiagang Long Jie chemical fiber representative at the meeting pointed out that if the curtains in residential use flame retardant fiber as raw materials, the tragedy of Shanghai fire will not lead to. He believes that similar products such as flame retardants and car cover cloth related to driving safety should be enforced by national policies. The curtains exported to Macao must have flame-retardant functions.

Jiangsu DESAY chemical fiber has 200 thousand tons of continuous polyester and polyester staple fiber production capacity, with high strength, low elongation, three dimensional crimp hollow and high value-added differential staple fiber as the main products, mainly used in home textiles. Pan Hongqing, general manager of the company, thinks that polyester polyester has achieved the corresponding performance requirements in home textiles products such as fillers, curtains and other skin contact, and has been developing smoothly in terms of flame retardancy and thermal insulation. The development of polyester polyester for home textiles is a new topic in the chemical fiber industry. To this end, DESAY chemical fiber is also developing "super Imitation cotton" polyester products, but in terms of moisture absorption, comfort, antistatic and so on, more research should be done.

Yamamoto Eyuki, director of Dongli Fiber Research Institute (China) Limited, introduced Dongli's progress in new polyester materials and technologies. It is impressive that Dongli uses artificial weather chambers to develop new products. By establishing an artificial meteorological room close to the real environment, it can reproduce all kinds of dynamic meteorological conditions such as the north pole and the desert, and make the performance evaluation of various fiber materials in different fields possible. In addition to further deepening the technology of cationic cationic combustible polyester fiber, Dongli also uses PLA sand sac instead of Salix (grass grid) to control desertification.

Solving the pain of standard deficiency

With the increasing proportion of functional products and the increasing application scope, the lack of relevant standards and the lack of smooth connection between upstream and downstream will play a more and more important role in industrial upgrading. At this meeting, leaders and business representatives from home textile, printing and dyeing, cotton spinning and other industries talked about standard construction.

Even as a model for small businesses to take the road of functionality and differentiation, Tan Hui, chairman of Taicang Jinhui Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd. still admits that enterprises are very tired in promoting new products. He believes that in terms of product development, fiber enterprises give fiber certain functionality, and then through downstream enterprises to this functional application. However, due to the lack of standards, fiber enterprises may be blamed for the same fiber products used in different production environments and different uses.

Wang Huaping gave advice on this, and developed several important application models for a functional fiber. It is easy to standardize the application environment, process parameters and use conditions of each type of model. But ordinary enterprises obviously do not have such strength. Other representatives of home textile industry suggest that third party organizations can be introduced to identify or certify, so as to promote the establishment of standard system. At present, it is a relatively fast and effective way to establish a common R & D, expand the market, share the profits of the industrial chain and industry university research alliance. For example, the work of innovation and strategic alliance of chemical fiber production, teaching and research cooperation has achieved initial success. At this meeting, the functional home textile industry alliance, which was jointly prepared by all sides, brought new hope to the industry.

Although the conventional continental varieties and engineering technology of polyester polyester industry in China already have strong competitiveness, there is still a big gap compared with the rapid R & D capability of developed countries. It is urgent to create a new technological innovation R & D system with Chinese characteristics and independent innovation capability. Ye Yongmao reminded us that in recent years, due to more new polyester polyester projects and longer supply cycle, the gap between polyester filament equipment and foreign countries has been obscure, especially in terms of energy saving, emission reduction, automation and precision control. He hoped that the relevant enterprises and units should be calm and strengthen the capability of tackling key problems.

In addition, in the process of transformation and upgrading, journalists feel that the importance of brands is increasing. Du Pont's "Lycra" and "sleeping sleeping treasure" cases were mentioned many times at the meeting. However, so far, most enterprises are still struggling to find the right way to brand building. In this sense, the platform role of trade associations and industry media will be brought into full play in the future.
