Fabric: Technology Meets Fashion

Environmental protection and low carbon are popular words in recent years. Nowadays, low carbon and environmental protection has also blown to the fashion industry. Low carbon environmental protection has been embodied in functional fabric products. Shanghai Textile Group uses coffee dregs to absorb peculiar smell, dehumidification, sweat fast and recyclable, so that coffee residue can be recycled and reused.

Using special technology to produce coffee carbon fiber, through the industrial chain alliance, the development of coffee carbon fiber products, making coffee residue into textiles environmental protection materials.

The Rio bamboo fiber, which is also independently developed by Shanghai Textile Group, has independent intellectual property rights. It has applied for and obtained the patent solvent method high wet modulus bamboo fiber and its preparation method (ZL200910196861.0), and applied for international patent in 2010.

Green fashion fibre Coffee charcoal

Nowadays, many consumers have a strong sense of fashion and pursue the higher quality of life. Functional clothing, such as technology content, ecological environment protection, fashion design, has become the mainstream trend and core product in today's market. Fashion is not just a beautiful dress, environmental protection has become a fashion. The popularity of lightweight and comfortable functional chemical fiber clothing shows the trend of high quality, and the perfect combination of functionality and fashion, leading the fashion trend. Not only fashion women's wear, sportswear, casual wear, all kinds of protective clothing and tooling also pay more attention to the content of science and technology and fashion, even the functional fashion cosmetic products made of textile materials such as coffee carbon fiber, super Imitation cotton, cool sensing fiber, antibacterial fiber, bamboo charcoal fiber and flame retardant fiber are also more and more popular among consumers.

Coffee is no stranger to coffee. Besides coffee, we often add coffee residue into the ashtray, which can remove the smell of smoke and extinguish the cigarette butts. Nowadays, the surplus value of coffee residue is more than one. The Shanghai Textile Group uses coffee dregs to absorb peculiar smell, dehumidification, sweat fast and recyclable characteristics, and reuses coffee grounds. The coffee residue is used as raw material for fiber, and the coffee residue is calcined at high temperature, so that the crystal of coffee dregs presents the best state to the pores. The coffee products are produced by special technology. After the alliance of the industrial chain, the coffee carbon fiber products are developed, making coffee grounds become the environmental protection material of textiles. Coffee carbon fiber products can deodorant, warm up, fast drying, giving consumers a comfortable and comfortable touch, and more importantly, environmental protection and recycling, do not increase the burden on the earth, but there is a sense of energy saving and carbon reduction.

In the production process, they have been paying attention to the environmental protection and environmental protection: first, choose the suitable environment. spinning The coffee charcoal powder with a specific function, using the waste coffee residue, after calcination treatment of more than 1000 degrees Celsius, makes the crystal of coffee dregs present the best state with the pores. The latest nanometer technology is used for micronization and ground into 100~300 nanometer grade powder. Secondly, the masterbatch that is suitable for fiber production is made by special process, and the spinning and drawing processes are studied to ensure the spinnability of the products in the post processing plant. At the same time, special spinneret is designed to solve the key production processes such as drying, spinning and drafting. Test and determine the appropriate content of coffee charcoal in the fiber. Finally, we optimized and determined the blending of a certain amount of master batch and polyester chip to ensure the proper content of the powder in the fiber.

　 The paolai fiber coffee charcoal product is a new and environmentally friendly material with excellent performance. It will not cause any adverse effects on the environment.

Coffee carbon fiber has been popular with consumers since its appearance. The clothing made of coffee carbon fiber is not only natural and environmental friendly, but also has many functions such as far-infrared rays, negative ions, heat storage and warmth. It is very suitable for weaving clothes that are closely dressed. The function of coffee carbon fiber is permanent, and it is not affected by washing times. Many enterprises have launched a series of products which are mainly made from coffee carbon fiber and used in underwear products, shirts and T-shirts. Socks All kinds of uses such as towels, bedding and sportswear, and give full play to the natural, environmental protection and multi-functional characteristics of coffee carbon fiber, so the successful development of coffee carbon fiber can provide a new raw material for the development of textile products.

Coffee carbon fiber clothing products feel smooth and sticky, with gentle and comfortable touch, good drapability and soft color, and have many excellent functions such as warming up, heat preservation, deodorization, moisture absorption, breathability, bacteriostasis, UV protection and so on.

The test shows that coffee carbon fiber has better warming effect than ordinary PET fiber. When irradiated with 500W halogen lamp for 60 minutes, its heating range is higher than that of PET fiber. Wearing coffee carbon fiber clothing can enjoy the natural and warm feeling of comfort brought by coffee. At the same time, the deodorizing efficiency of coffee is the same as that of bamboo charcoal, and has the same function as deodorizing, but it is more environmentally friendly than bamboo charcoal. {page_break}

　 Patents plus the world's first bamboo fiber

The Rio bamboo fiber developed by Shanghai Textile Group is a real green environmental protection fiber. The product has high strength, high wet modulus, natural antibacterial and bacteriostatic properties. It is a new green and environment-friendly fiber with the characteristics of natural fiber and synthetic fiber.

It also has the characteristics of cellulose fiber: moisture absorption, breathability, easy dyeing, antistatic and easy to textile, comfortable to wear. Also has the characteristics of Lyocell fiber: high strength, dry wet strength close to, high wet modulus, fabric fastness is high, not easy to deformation. Its characteristics are natural antibacterial, bacteriostatic and mildew proof. Adopting green production technology, there is no residue of harmful substances on the fiber.

Rio bamboo fiber production process, using non-toxic N- methyl morpholine oxide (NMMO) as the solvent of the fiber spinning process, the pulp is directly dissolved in the solvent for spinning, completely under the physical effect, the solution can be recycled, the recovery rate of more than 99%, the production process is non-toxic, no pollution, no emissions, no harm to the environment. The waste of bamboo fiber in Rio can be biodegraded in the soil in 3~6 months. Compared with synthetic fiber, it does not cause two pollution to the environment. Moreover, the raw material of cellulose is cellulose, which is derived from photosynthesis in nature and can be decomposed in nature after being abandoned. This is a sustainable development process, which is completely different from the synthetic fiber industry developed by the petroleum industry.

Rio bamboo fiber is suitable for making and wearing fabrics. It has strong elongation property and is suitable for blending with other fibers, producing different effects and increasing its added value. It can also be made into towels, blankets, quilt covers, sheets, mattresses and so on. In terms of breathability and moisture permeability, bedding made from Rio bamboo fiber shows its good performance. In particular, Rio bamboo fiber has antibacterial properties and is more suitable for home textile products.
