With The Resource Crisis Coming, The Textile Industry Has Changed In The Labor Pains.

"It's a piece of cloth to defeat a hero."

"Rising prices, downstream

Mother of chemical fiber -- Petroleum

When it comes to oil, people naturally associate with cars. When it comes to rising oil prices, people will naturally think that they are most worried about taxi drivers.

In fact, not too.

The most expensive way for the people to feel the price of oil is the addition of the taxi fare, which is the "sky price" down jacket. Anyone who knows a little bit of chemical knowledge will know that oil is the best raw material for refining chemical fiber, and chemical fiber is the longest raw material used in the textile industry in the past ten years, and its usage ratio has already far exceeded cotton.

Therefore, as an industry directly related to oil, the rise in oil prices directly leads to the increase in the cost of the textile industry, but at the same time, the order has been reduced or not, which makes the major manufacturers not only can not rise in price, but on the contrary, they have to make appropriate concessions in price to attract customers.

If those large enterprises can persist at that time, then for those small and medium-sized enterprises, this is their choice of life and death.

Kuang Xiaoliang, Tsingtao Brewery's Shijiazhuang fixed grid business representative, said: "as everyone knows, oil is a non renewable resource, which is very limited in itself. In addition, the United States and other countries have the problem of manipulating oil prices. If our textile industry wants to go on the road of chemical fiber, the simple" wait for the rabbit "approach is not feasible, that is, we can not just wait for the price of oil to fall, but what we should do is to improve our technological level, reduce the cost of manufacturing process, and develop more economical, fast and convenient refining technology. Only in this way can we walk on the single fiber bridge of chemical fiber.

Rising cotton prices: the source of the plight of the textile industry

We mentioned the "sky price" down jacket in this paper, and the reason for this phenomenon is not achieved solely by the price of oil alone. The heavyweight factor that caused this phenomenon is the "rapid progress" of cotton prices.

"Cotton prices have risen by 20% in 4 days. The pmission of such prices will soon be carried downstream, and the pressure of textile enterprises will be great."

Wang Wei, deputy director of the consumer goods industry department of the Ministry of industry and information technology, said in an interview with reporters.

And why cotton prices soared overnight? Wang Wei said: "the reasons for the rise in cotton prices are varied, but there are two main reasons. On the one hand, due to the low cotton prices in 2008, cotton growers' confidence is frustrated and the planting area is reduced.

Statistics show that in 2009, China's cotton production was 6 million 400 thousand tons, a decrease of 1 million 100 thousand tons compared with 2008, a drop of nearly 15%.

On the other hand, last year, cotton production areas such as Xinjiang reduced output by nearly 1/4 due to climate disasters and other reasons, which further exacerbated the contradiction between supply and demand imbalance.

From an international point of view, in fact, the international cotton supply and demand balance has not kept up for 15 consecutive years. That is to say, the demand has been far greater than the output. Therefore, the supply and demand of the whole international cotton market has been unbalanced for 15 consecutive years. In addition, last year, the cotton production in the main producing area of the whole world was affected by the disaster factors, resulting in a decline in output. For example, India now prohibits the export of cotton, coupled with the low US dollar and so on, leading to the high price of cotton futures.

For a variety of reasons, China's cotton price "Changhong all the way".

Cotton is the main cost of spinning enterprises, accounting for about 60% of the total cost.

Cotton prices have shown a downward trend in recent years. Since March this year, prices of textile raw materials, yarns and grey fabrics have been on a downward track. In 2 months, cotton, polyester, short and sticky prices fell by 5000, 1700 and 5400 yuan / ton respectively. The prices of pure cotton yarn, polyester cotton yarn and cotton yarn fell by 5000, 3500 and 5000 yuan / ton respectively, and the prices of pure cotton, polyester cotton and cotton cloth fell by 1, 0.6 and 1 yuan / meter respectively.

For the current situation of the textile industry, Kuang Huachun, a textile technician in Jiulong Town, Jiaozhou, Shandong, said: "the textile industry has been in trouble again.

In this regard, the textile industry at this time most needs the state's macroeconomic regulation and control and related policies, such as the textile industry tax reduction policy, only in this way can we pull the textile enterprises to a certain extent and help them smooth through this difficult period.

The rise and fall of cotton prices and the growing shrinkage of cotton in the world determine that the proportion of cotton in the raw material pattern will gradually decrease. The textile industry, which uses cotton as raw material, is also constantly looking for alternative resources.

The output of linen, silk and wool in natural fibers is very limited.

So many people turn their attention to chemical fibers.

Developing new fibers can help textile industry break through the constraints of resources.

In the face of "99 eighty-one difficulties" such as cotton prices and oil prices, China's textile industry has shifted its attention to the development of some sustainable alternative materials.

In recent years, the new favorite of the chemical fiber industry is biomass fiber and biochemical raw materials.

Straw, bamboo, linen and other fast growing forest materials, rich viscose fibers and other fibers are resources for the synthesis of new materials. These resources belong to renewable resources, and are widely stored in nature. Therefore, they will not encounter the difficult situation of oil.

At present, there are ways to produce regenerated cellulosic fibers in a certain climate and environment. One is the new solvent method, that is, Lyocell (lysell), which represents Shanghai textile (Holdings) group, the Chinese Academy of textile science and Xinxiang chemical fiber, the two is the son liquid method, and the Shandong Hailong is the key research. Three is the recently developed water system cryogenic dissolution method, which is highly concerned by the industry, and is developed by the team led by Professor Zhang Lina of Wuhan University.

In addition to its advantages such as comfort, degradation and environmental protection, the most important thing is that it can help the textile industry to open up a new pattern and alleviate the problem of resource bottlenecks.

The biggest obstacle in the application and development of cellulose is the high crystallinity of natural cellulose, and a large number of hydrogen bonds exist between molecules and molecules, which make them insoluble in most organic solvents.

Taking straw, straw and other crop straw fibers as an example, their fibers are short and uneven, with less fiber content and more heterozygous cells, with high ash content and large silicon content.

Because this technology is not very mature, there are still some other difficulties in developing natural resources.

In addition, the synthetic rate of biomass synthetic fiber has been improved, but it can not reach the degree of completely replacing chemical fiber, so the textile industry will still be affected by the price fluctuation of raw materials such as chemical fiber and cotton.

Biomass fiber can be basically divided into three categories: biomass raw fiber, biomass regenerated fiber and biomass synthetic fiber.

Zhang Jiancheng, general manager of Qingdao Jing Jia textile machinery and Equipment Co., Ltd., said: "the biomass raw fiber represented by cotton, wool, linen and silk is a traditional dominant species in China. Bamboo, linen, protein, seaweed, chitin, and direct solvent fiber are developing rapidly, which can basically meet the needs of China's economic development and the development of the textile industry. PTT, PLA, PHA and other biomass synthetic fibers have broken through the key technologies, and some of them have the world's leading capacity.

PHA fiber is a biodegradable biodegradable polymer produced by various microorganisms, such as soil bacteria, cyanobacteria and pgenic plants.

This kind of melt spinning can produce PHA fibers with less environmental pollution and less pollution.

At present, the difficulty of fiber processing lies in the high brittleness, poor mechanical properties and narrow temperature range of PHA.

If we can break through the key technology of spinning processing and improve the cost control and dyeing properties, PHA fiber will be the most competitive fiber species in the future.

For example, the new green cellulose fiber, Lyocell (Leisel), is a new cellulose fiber developed in foreign countries in 90s. It is a kind of man-made cellulose fiber which is directly dissolved in natural NMMO raw material and dissolved in aqueous solution of 5~6. Its production process is simpler than that of viscose, its solvent is non-toxic, and no harmful substances are released. The recovery rate of solvent is 99.7%, and the product waste can be biodegraded by 5~6 weeks. It does not constitute environmental pollution. It is known as the green fiber in twenty-first Century.

It provides a direction for the environmentally friendly production and upgrading of cellulosic fibers.

Modal fiber, also known as "modle" and "modle" is a new kind of cellulose fiber. The raw material of Modal fiber comes from the natural wood and can be degraded naturally after use.

Because this kind of fiber is made of natural cellulose as raw material, it has biological solubility and does not produce serious environmental pollution problems similar to viscose fiber in fiber production process. It is a new type of environmental friendly fiber in twenty-first Century.

On the whole, China's textile industry must strive to develop new technologies for refining chemical fibers, respond to the rise in oil prices, and intensify innovation in the new method of synthetic fiber replacement. At the same time, we should pay attention to the international market in order to grasp the development and change of cotton prices in time.

Chinese enterprises should pay attention to the improvement of production technology, the development and utilization of new resources, and the utilization of creative, healthy and cultural elements, so as to better grasp and adapt to the consumption needs, and make use of the dominant position of China's textile industry in the world supply chain, and the textile industry will face new opportunities for development.

At the same time, our government is giving great support, and it also needs to provide a good survival and development environment for the textile enterprises. In policy, it strives to do more for the textile industry to "give the green light", so as to lighten the burden for the textile industry. Technically, it is necessary to organize the technicians of the Academy of technology to tackle the related technologies and combine them with the relevant enterprises so as to make innovations in the new technology and technology, so as to open up a new way for the textile industry.
