Industrial Chain Promotes The Development Of Functional Home Textiles

Promoting functional household

In order to promote structural adjustment and industrial upgrading of textile industry and enhance communication and communication between the upstream and downstream of the functional home textiles industry chain, the 2010 functional Home Textile Forum jointly organized by China home textile industry association and China Cotton Textile Industry Association, China Chemical Fiber Industry Association and China printing and dyeing industry association held in Haimen, Nantong, Jiangsu in December 4th.

Representatives from many domestic textile enterprises, functional yarns and home textile enterprises, as well as representatives from relevant research institutes and tertiary institutions, attended the meeting.

At the meeting, the relevant experts analyzed and interpreted the issues such as the current situation and trend of home textiles in China, the development and market of functional household textiles, the standards and quality status of functional home textiles.

The conference also discussed the establishment of functional home textile industry alliance.

The purpose of the alliance is to enhance the innovative ability of home textiles. It is made up of fiber enterprises, yarn enterprises, fabric enterprises and finished products enterprises in the upstream and downstream enterprises of the home textile industry chain.

Functional home textiles will shine brilliantly.

The so-called functional household textiles refer to some new special products, such as safety function (flame retardant, antistatic, prediction, alarm, etc.), intelligence (human body and environmental information prediction, automatic dimming and color adjustment, automatic adjustment of temperature and humidity, automatic adjustment of air freshness), humanization function (soft, comfortable, moisture absorption, breathable, dry, smooth, etc.), health functions (physiotherapy, weight reduction, bedsore prevention, urine wetness, mite prevention, mosquito repellent) and other excellent performance and wide market demand for upgrading home textiles new products.

With the continuous improvement of consumers' living standards, people pay more and more attention to the functional requirements of home textile products.

They require bedding to protect against mites, moisture and sweat, and even improve sleep quality.

Consumers not only require the curtain shading rate can reach more than 90%, but also require dust and UV resistance, require towels to be antibacterial, require sofa cloth to be flame-retardant, easy to clean, and enhance the quality of home textile products. This is the trend of the situation. Functional household textiles will have broad development space in the future market development.

"Looking back on the past and looking forward to the future, the development of China's home textile industry is full of hope, and still has great potential for development, but it can not be ignored that there is still pressure at the moment."

Wang Tiankai, vice president of China Textile Industry Association, pointed out that at present, China's home textile industry is still in an extensive pattern of growth, and homogenization competition still exists.

Due to the particularity of its products, functional home textiles can meet the diversity of consumption and the diversity of the market. Functional home textiles are the important direction for the home textile industry to adjust the structure and upgrade the industry in the future.

Strengthening industrial linkage in alliance form

To promote the development of functional household textiles is not only a topic that needs to be studied in the home textile industry, but also a topic that the whole industry chain needs to study together.

The cooperation between home textile enterprises and upstream raw materials is conducive to increasing the research and development of functional fibers and developing more abundant materials. The cooperation between home textile enterprises and cotton textile enterprises can enhance the technology of spinning and weaving, and develop high-quality fabrics for home textile enterprises.

And home textile enterprises to strengthen communication with downstream printing and dyeing enterprises, can jointly promote the development of functional finishing auxiliaries and technology.

In short, strengthening cooperation between upstream and downstream enterprises in the industry chain will make full use of new fibers, new dyes and chemicals, new finishing methods and new materials, so as to promote structural adjustment and industrial upgrading of the textile industry.

Wang Tiankai said that the forum was jointly held by four industry associations, and actively set up a functional home textile industry alliance.

This move is of great significance, which is conducive to the interaction of the industrial chain and the most effective and rapid allocation of resources.

Functionality runs through the entire industry chain.

Ye Yongmao, chief technology adviser of China Chemical Fiber Industry Association, said that the chemical fiber industry is closely tracking the latest technology at home and abroad, and has made many achievements in product innovation and energy saving and emission reduction through technological innovation.

At present, the proportion of differentiated fiber has exceeded 43% in China, and has been greatly improved at the level, especially in fine denier, heteromorphism, coloured, antibacterial, moisture absorption and perspiring, comfortable skin care, nano modification, cationic, far infrared, conductive, anti fouling, health care and so on.

The multi-functional chemical fiber matched with the functional home textile can be divided into safety protection functions, health care functions, skin friendly and comfortable functions, characteristic environmental protection functions and the improvement and upgrading of old varieties.

Radiation protection and so on; health care functions of chemical fiber include antibacterial, odorant, anti mites, anti mosquito, far infrared, negative oxygen ions, mildew proof, anti fouling, bamboo pulp, bamboo charcoal and so on; skin friendly and functional chemical fiber has complex nano high sensibility, moisture absorption and perspiring, multi-functional compound ultrafine, special shaped hollow, protein fiber self elongation, etc. intelligent, discolourant, colored, glossy, whitening, Tencel, polylactic acid, green ecological degradable fiber belong to the characteristic environmental protection functional fiber; the old variety function improvement and upgrading category covers the flame retardant antibacterial hollow functional and filling materials, water replacing hard oil regenerated fiber instead of foam polyglutamic acid, multi-functional and special functional fiber. Among them, the safety protection function chemical fiber includes flame retardant, conductive, high temperature resistant, antistatic, anti melting, super high strength, super high modulus, anti ultraviolet, Gao Rishai, anticorrosion,

The application of new fiber spinning and weaving technology provides a guarantee for functional home textiles.

Zhu Beina, President of the China Cotton Textile Industry Association, said that the innovative yarn of different types of raw materials, blending, interweaving and other new structures had been widely used during the "11th Five-Year" period.

New functional and differential fibers with antibacterial, odorless, mildew proof, antistatic and UV resistant functions are emerging. The new yarns are widely used on machine woven fabrics, giving new functions to fabrics.

Compact spinning lines are widely used in bed products; jet spinning threads with polyester are widely used in tablecloths and napkins.

The diversification of raw materials has broadened the choice of yarn, and fabrics are becoming more and more personalized and fashionable. High density and high density woven fabrics and jacquard woven fabrics have fully demonstrated the characteristics of functional fabrics.

New dyeing and finishing technology has also been widely used in home textile products.

In 2009, the "three defenses" (water repellent, oil repellent and pollution repellent) products produced by China were about 1 billion 500 million meters, accounting for 2.35% of the printing and dyeing industry, and 6.15% of sales accounted for 15 billion yuan output value.

Chen Zhihua, Secretary General of the China dyeing and printing industry association, pointed out that the multi-functional composite finishing will be widely used, such as water repellent, oil repellent, easy decontamination and flame retardancy, waterproof, moisture permeable and antibacterial compound, anti ultraviolet, anti infrared lines and antibacterial functions.

Second, use physical methods instead of some chemical additives.

Such as stretching, grinding, fuzzing, softening and other mechanical and physical finishing, fabric can achieve functional finishing effect.

Furthermore, we should strengthen the functional development of natural fibers such as bamboo fiber and hemp fiber antibacterial, chitosan antibacterial fiber and material development.

In the future, ultra light, super softening and fashion are also one of the trends of functional development.

Functional textiles with remarkable functions, fashionable beauty, durable wear, comfort, health, safety and environmental protection require the cooperative development of the textile industry from fiber to weaving, and then to the dyeing and finishing industry chain.

Establishment of standard evaluation system urgently needed

It is understood that in addition to the relatively complete industrial chain of towels, the development of new products of other household textiles is generally lack of linkage between the upstream and downstream industries and industry, University and research institutes.

Product development is a very difficult systematic project. Yang Zhaohua, chairman of China Household Textile Industry Association, hopes to take this forum as an opportunity to speed up interaction, strengthen cooperation between upstream and downstream industries and enterprises more closely and deeply, and gradually establish an innovation alliance, improve the joint development of functional fiber and home textile products, and create a new situation of win-win cooperation.

Yang Zhaohua also pointed out that quality standards and testing are important issues facing functional home textiles.

The contradiction between the rapid development of functional textiles and the lack of relevant standards has seriously affected the healthy development of the functional home textiles market. Therefore, it is urgent to set up a standard evaluation system for functional textiles.

At the same time, environmental protection is also a problem that can not be ignored.

The production of functional products will often increase processing procedures, and the consumption of energy, water and chemicals will also increase. Therefore, in the process of developing functional home textiles, environmental protection should be regarded as an important matter from the very beginning.

Wang Tiankai hoped that the industry alliance should explore effective and executable implementation plans and plans, seize key products, highlight key difficulties and solve key technologies.
