Chemical Fiber: Change With Fashion Trend

?

　　 fibre The release of popular trends is conducive to better integration of all links of the industrial chain. Combine the fiber fashion trend with yarn, fabric clothing And other downstream popular trends, which is conducive to better play spin The overall advantage of the industry makes the international competitive advantage of China's textile industry more obvious. The release of fiber fashion trend will play a positive role in promoting the textile industry in China from the integrity of the industrial chain to the improvement of the value chain.

Ten popular fiber varieties have become popular

Industry insiders are no strangers to the ten popular fiber varieties released this time, because many of them have become very popular in the market and will be popular for a long time in the future.

The profiled fine denier moisture wicking and sweat wicking polyester fiber is a kind of fiber with moisture wicking and sweat wicking properties. The cross section is profiled. With many micro holes or grooves on the surface, combined with fine denier, the fiber can quickly absorb moisture and sweat on the skin surface, and achieve the moisture wicking and sweat wicking effect through diffusion and transmission to the outer layer for evaporation. It can be combined with the multi-functional composite of anti ultraviolet, anti-bacterial, etc, Further improve the function of the fiber.

Different shrinkage composite polyester fiber refers to the fiber produced by spinning, drawing, twisting and other means of the same or different fibers. The development of differential shrinkage composite polyester fiber has greatly improved the simulation level of fibers in China. Its series of products have even evenness, fixed weight and length, which ensures the flatness and color recovery of fabrics produced by downstream enterprises, and the semi-finished products in each process can be the same as those in the same process, thus improving efficiency, reducing energy consumption and saving costs.

PTT and PBT polyester fibers have excellent properties, which combine the elasticity and softness of nylon, the bulkiness of acrylic, the anti fouling property of polyester, and have excellent dyeing performance and comfortable hand feel, making them unique in the field of chemical fibers. It has great market potential in the fields of clothing textiles such as elastic swimwear and sportswear, and non-woven fabrics such as medical and health care.

Flame retardant viscose fiber refers to the fiber with flame retardant properties of viscose fiber material itself or after treatment. It is in contact with the fire source, the fiber cannot be burned, or the combustion is not sufficient, and only a small flame burns; After the fire source is removed, the flame can extinguish itself quickly. The fiber with LOI greater than or equal to 28% is called flame retardant fiber.

Full matting fine denier polyamide 6 fiber is one of the widely used differential fibers in the domestic market. Its fabric has a cotton effect, natural and soft luster, and is a substitute for natural filaments.

Solution dyed polyester fiber. The process of fiber products, especially printing, dyeing and finishing, will cause environmental pollution. The original solution dyeing technology is used to produce Soviet Union polyester fiber, solve the water pollution problem caused by dyeing and finishing, and make contributions to environmental protection and the green world. Its products are bright in color, diverse in specifications, uniform in color, durable and not easy to fade.

The recycled filament polyester fiber is made from recycled waste polyester (including bottles, waste silk, waste textiles, etc.). Recycled filament polyester fiber can not only reduce the environmental burden, but also effectively reduce the loss of natural resources to meet the environmental requirements of energy conservation, emission reduction, reuse, and recycling.

Polyphenylene sulfide fiber is a new type of special polymer material, which has excellent chemical corrosion resistance, good thermal conductivity, excellent chemical corrosion resistance, excellent mechanical properties and electronic insulation properties.

The raw material of bamboo pulp and fiber is China's rich renewable natural resources, which will not be exhausted and affect the ecological balance. It derives from nature and conforms to the national sustainable development strategy.

Chitosan fiber is a biological fiber with natural antibacterial function, which is made from crab shell and shrimp shell through purification, dissolution and spinning. Its process is short, clean and green. Chitosan fiber has significant antibacterial and anti enzyme effects and functions of promoting skin growth. It can be widely used in sanitary napkins, baby clothes, hospital patient clothes, doctor's surgical clothes, burns, gauze for bed treatment, absorbable surgical threads, artificial skin, etc. Further processing can also be used in health food, cosmetics, etc.

Release of fiber trend is the general trend

At present, a new round of global scientific and technological competition has begun, and the world will enter an era of unprecedented innovation intensity and industrial revitalization. Major western countries have put forward economic stimulus plans one after another. The common feature is to substantially increase investment in science and technology, increase innovation, take new energy, new materials, information networks, life sciences, advanced materials, energy conservation and environmental protection, low-carbon technology, and green economy as the focus of a new round of industrial development, and strive to seize the strategic commanding heights of future science and technology and economic competition, Readjust and divide the international division of labor system.

In the face of the new competition pattern, China, as a large textile and chemical fiber manufacturing country with the largest production scale, the most complete industrial chain and strong competitiveness in the world, has been unable to sustain the development model of chemical fiber and textile industry which mainly relied on quantity and price competition in the past with the intensification of domestic factor constraints, the rise of production costs and the increase of environmental pressure. In particular, the financial crisis has had an immeasurable impact on the global economic pattern. The rapid rise of low-carbon and environment-friendly consumption concepts in developed countries has determined that China's textile and chemical fiber industry must embark on a sustainable development path suitable for itself.

The purpose of releasing the report of "Chinese Fiber Fashion Trend" is to build a domestic fiber brand, promote the brand construction of fiber raw materials, improve the overall brand image of the industrial chain, and form a reasonable connection between fiber production and terminal manufacturing, which is conducive to improving the overall brand strength of Made in China.

Just as Wang Wei, Deputy Director of the Consumer Products Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, introduced, through the research and release of "Chinese fiber fashion trends", the latest, cutting-edge, most differentiated and internationally leading chemical fiber new products in China will be delivered to downstream manufacturers and end consumers. This can drive the transformation of the textile industry chain to the direction of new product development and innovation driving demand, promote the overall improvement of the value chain, improve the overall competitiveness of the industry chain, and increase the contribution of fiber brands to the development of the textile chemical fiber industry.

fibre brand Innovation creates huge benefits

For a long time, China's textile industry has been developing rapidly mainly by relying on comparative advantages. New yarns, new spinning, new weaving, new printing and dyeing technologies and equipment have been gradually applied and developed. Deep processing, finishing, high value-added products have increased significantly, and product quality and grade have improved significantly. At the same time, from the perspective of global development, China's textile industry still has the obvious advantage of the most complete industrial chain with a high degree of correlation, but the integration effect of the industrial chain has not been truly reflected, and each link of the industrial chain has failed to reflect the characteristics of high-tech content and strong technical consistency.

From the perspective of brand, although the construction of domestic textile end brand is obviously stronger than that of previous fiber raw material brand, compared with developed countries, the gap between end brand and foreign fiber raw material brand is greater. Promoting the brand construction of fiber raw materials is easier to enhance the overall brand image of the industrial chain. If further, fiber production and terminal manufacturing form a joint force, it is more conducive to improving the overall brand strength of "Made in China".

Duan Xiaoping, president of China Chemical Fiber Industry Association, believes that the gap between the domestic chemical fiber industry and traditional chemical fiber manufacturing powers and regions in new product research and development is not only reflected in their own research and development capabilities and levels, but also in the emphasis on fiber brand building and market promotion of new products and their capabilities. During the "Eleventh Five Year Plan" period, the former gap has a trend of gradually narrowing, while the latter gap has not changed significantly. In fact, there is a close connection between the gaps in the two aspects. The former gap will directly lead to the inability to fill the latter gap, and the existence of the latter gap will indirectly affect the motivation to narrow the former gap.

As far as the industry and enterprises are concerned, they often only see the gap in R&D capability and level, while ignoring the gap in fiber brand building and new product marketing. However, the problems of brand building and new product marketing are not solved, and the R&D ability and level are difficult to be significantly improved.

Fiber brand construction can bring benefits to the operation of the entire industrial chain. In terms of fiber brand building, DuPont's Lycra promotion is a relatively successful case. Through value chain marketing, Lycra successfully made a highly professional chemical fiber raw material into a well-known brand for consumers. When the downstream products using Lycra tags are popular in the market, the enthusiasm of yarn mills and fabric factories to buy Lycra is also rising. DuPont can provide them with targeted technical services and market consultation, which not only ensures the quality of tag products, but also consolidates the cooperation with downstream manufacturers, thus promoting the sales of Lycra fiber, and ultimately bringing about the continuous increase of Lycra sales.

Textile fashion trend starts from fiber

The combination of fiber and the characteristics of the times is getting closer and closer. Nowadays, advocating nature is one of the most important trends. Fine, soft and comfortable fabrics are the main popular styles. Textile processing is paying more and more attention to the technological content of the process. The traditional textile can achieve new visual and tactile effects through new technology processing; Multi integration, tradition and high technology, nostalgia and futurism, popularity and uniqueness are blended together. Integration is an important feature of modern fabric development; At the same time, the development of green products and green processing technologies that are conducive to ecological environment protection has been integrated into the distinctive characteristics of the times.

Fiber is the starting point of the textile industry chain. Innovation at the starting point provides unlimited possibilities for downstream innovation. Wang Yuping, deputy secretary-general of the China Chemical Fiber Industry Association, told reporters that the endless possibilities of fiber determine the huge difference between fiber fashion trends and other fabric fashion trends.

Compared with the general fashion trend release using descriptive language, the 2012/2013 China Fiber Fashion Trend Report has more practical content. It directly tells downstream enterprises the names of popular fiber types in the future. Different from the fashion trend of clothing and fabrics, fiber popularity generally lasts for a long time. During these long periods of time, the fiber has continuously improved its function through scientific and technological progress, but its name remains unchanged. "For example, five years ago, there were moisture wicking and sweat wicking fibers. Today, moisture wicking and sweat wicking fibers are still popular, but the concept of moisture wicking and sweat wicking five years ago is completely different from that of today," said Wang Yuping.

This difference is also reflected in the feelings of some knitting enterprises after they saw the 2012/2013 China Fiber Fashion Trend Report. According to downstream knitting enterprises, the 2012/2013 China Fiber Fashion Trend Report contains very rich information, which broadens their innovative ideas. They believe that simply intercepting one of these elements for amplification and innovation can create a popular trend in the end market.

It can be seen that the fashion trend of upstream fibers is affecting the fashion trend of downstream fabrics. Today's textile fabric fashion trend includes the following 10 important elements: thin, comfortable, shiny, transparent, decor, texture, composite, functional, green, health care, etc. These 10 elements all coincide with the development trend of fiber today. The research trend of high count natural fibers and ultra-fine chemical fibers corresponds to the trend of lightweight and transparent fabrics; The development of functional fibers such as moisture absorption and sweat wicking corresponds to the comfort trend of fabrics; The development of lustrous silk fiber corresponds to the shining trend of fabrics; The application trend of fabric popular colors is closely related to the color direction of fiber raw materials; The texture trend of fabrics can be realized through fancy yarns and special fibers; The trend of functional fabrics such as antibacterial and antistatic fabrics corresponds to the trend of functional development of fibers; The green trend of fabric needs to start from its source fiber; The health care trend of fabrics corresponds to the development of fibers with health care properties.

In fact, we have also seen the achievements of fiber innovation in all links of the textile industry chain. With the deepening of scientific and technological progress, many new types of differentiated and functional fibers continue to come out, providing greater imagination for the development and innovation of downstream products. At the same time, new spinning, weaving and finishing technologies also expand the space for the development and application of new fibers in fabrics, making people's lives more colorful and fashionable.

Wang Wei said in an interview that there is still some work to be improved for the release of this popular trend. For example, more attention has been paid to the technology, most of which are the introduction of fiber technology and fiber varieties. For large enterprises among downstream users, they can learn and develop application fields through trial; For small and medium-sized enterprises, it is difficult to develop fiber application fields. They need us to explain the fields in which these fibers can be used, and better tell them how to reflect the characteristics of these fibers in their applications.

These will be the next direction of efforts of the relevant agencies that publish popular trends. In the future, they will introduce the characteristics of fiber products more from the perspective of consumers. Fiber fashion trends not only release fiber varieties, but more importantly, release their specific application fields, help enterprises overcome fiber shortcomings in yarn, fabric, and clothing production, show fiber advantages, and then meet consumption, lead consumption, and create consumption.

This interpretation has been carried out. On a textile media, in the column of "Top Ten Popular Fiber Shows", ten popular fiber varieties released will be introduced one by one, with detailed descriptions from fiber characteristics to process characteristics, from potential market to existing market, from industry to enterprise. We believe that under the guidance of the industry and the support of the country, the top ten chemical fibers popular The variety will have a larger market and achieve greater development in the future.
