　　 Creativity leads technology

"The scale of fabric evaluation is so large that we are pleased to be a textile country, but the problems of serious homogenization of fabrics, blind following and lack of innovation should also not be ignored. Fabric enterprises must not blindly follow the trend, and must make the best of what they are good at." Mu Aiqin, the judge who has worked with the competition for many years, said on the scene.

The enterprises participating in this evaluation have shown many highlights in the application of new raw materials, new technologies and new processes, and many judges have also found many excellent products. In terms of the application of new raw materials, liquid colored fiber, antibacterial nano silver fiber, heating fiber, jade silkworm fiber and two-component elastic crimp fiber not only enhance the energy conservation and environmental protection of the fabric, but also increase the functionality and comfort of the fabric. The new technologies of energy-saving, emission reduction and environmental protection innovation, such as non sizing weaving technology, phase dyeing technology and Tris dyeing and finishing technology, have been praised by many judges. At the same time, the application of new processes, such as crimp dyeing printing and lace high temperature film covering, has given new life to ordinary fabrics and realized the second innovation of vision and style.

With the fluctuation of cotton price in recent years, the innovation of cotton products has attracted the attention of all parties. In the works participating in this review, wool like and Tencel like cotton fabrics are quite conspicuous.

Through the shrink finishing, the wool style with soft handle, good elasticity, enough pile feeling and strong sense of quality is achieved, realizing the new value of the fabric. The 100% cotton fiber fabric can achieve a silky smooth style after special dyeing and finishing processes such as biological fermentation washing, which can change the old holes in the hardened cotton fabric and achieve a new improvement.

According to experts, in the selection of new underwear fabrics this year, the application of raw materials and weaving technology, such as ultra-fine Modal, ultra-fine acrylic, heating fiber, thermal polyester, liquid dyed polyester, ultra-fine yarn, compact double-sided cloth, high count cotton wool cloth, undershirt cloth, etc, endows fabrics with moisture absorption, quick drying, low static electricity, anti pilling The functions of moisture absorption, heat generation, bacteriostasis and deodorization realize the comprehensive demands of underwear fabrics for health, softness and skin friendliness.
