Huge Market Potential For Replacing Clothing Fabrics

The 15th Shanghai International Conference held recently Nonwovens At the exhibition, a kind of "hollow orange petal type two-component superfine fiber spunbonded spunlaced nonwovens" produced by new technology attracted the attention of the majority of visitors.

It is a new type of two-component superfine fiber nonwovens, which combines the advantages of spunbonded nonwovens and spunbonded nonwovens. It not only combines the composite spinning technology in chemical fiber with Spunbonded Nonwovens Technology, but also adopts the spunlaced stripping technology of nonwovens to open and consolidate the hollow orange petal polyester polyamide composite superfine fiber filament A new generation of high-end nonwovens products which need to be spun and woven in one time.

Huang youpei, general manager of Dalian Hualun Chemical Fiber Engineering Co., Ltd., who is responsible for the development of this technology, told the author that in recent years, the company has installed such nonwoven production lines for Jiangxi Ji'an Sanjiang super fiber non-woven Co., Ltd., Hebei Langfang Zhongfang Zhongfang Xinyuan non-woven material Co., Ltd., and Henan duofluoroduo Chemical Co., Ltd. Moreover, through the continuous development of downstream products, these companies make the application prospect of this new type of nonwovens more and more broad.

Filter Market

In 2013, the haze weather in the North affects people's hearts, and the control of air pollution has become a difficult problem that the government must face. Beijing has issued an announcement to reduce pollution emissions by imposing restrictions on even and single car numbers in case of severe air pollution in the city. Spunbonded nonwovens can play an important role in air filtration at room temperature, especially when new nonwovens are used to filter automobile exhaust and make protective masks.

According to the introduction, the hollow orange petal type bicomponent spunbonded filament technology route is used to produce ultra-fine fiber nonwovens through high-speed air drawing, mesh laying, Spunlaced fiber opening and consolidation. The single fiber can reach 0.075D, which makes the nonwovens have compact structure, large specific surface area and small fiber diameter, and can obtain high-efficiency filtering effect.

"The main reason is that it has a more dense and disordered three-dimensional structure than ordinary synthetic fibers, has more micro pores, and increases the specific surface area of the fiber, which greatly improves the adsorption and dust holding capacity of the product. The efficiency of the filter material with the particle size above 0.3 μ M can reach 30% - 99%. The filter made of this kind of nonwovens can be used as central air conditioner filter, vacuum cleaner filter, automobile air conditioner filter and air purifier filter, etc. Huang youpei said.

　 Breaking through the price bottleneck is the key

At the exhibition, Jiangxi Sanjiang super fiber non-woven company and Langfang Zhongfang Xinyuan company brought their two-component spunbonded spunbonded nonwovens developed by them. There are not only industrial filter materials, wiping cloth, leather base cloth products, but also used for home textile, cleaning cloth and leather base cloth clothing The products in the fields of gift, culture, home furnishing and decoration, such as high-grade wall cloth, anti mite mattress, beach leisure wear, etc., are refreshing. Many foreign exhibitors gather around the booths of these companies to ask for information and discuss cooperation with them.

Li Feng, general manager of Jiangxi Sanjiang super fiber non-woven Co., Ltd., said that he developed spunlaced nonwovens with superfine fibers Leatherwear Products, many places beyond the performance of leather, in the system shoes Leather clothing has a good market prospect. At present, the company has cooperated with some shoe-making enterprises and developers to launch a series of high-grade superfine fiber nonwovens and accept a new round of market inspection.

Song Weimin, general manager of Langfang Zhongfang Xinyuan company, has set his eyes on more fields, and replacing traditional Chinese painting with new nonwovens has become one of the fields the company has set foot in. In addition, there are some attempts on casual clothing, which also bring a glimmer of light for the company's market.

Song Weimin said frankly that as the superfine fiber spunbonded spunlaced nonwovens are a new type of material, market application and development have encountered many challenges, "price factor is a barrier restricting its rapid development. We have done a lot of work in reducing product costs, breaking through the price bottleneck, and will hopefully make this new technology and new materials get a good application. "

It's time to transform

At present, in the spunbonded nonwovens industry, there are signs of slowing down the growth rate and the decline of enterprise benefits, which does not rule out the shadow of periodic overcapacity. In many places, the production of the same nonwovens products, disorderly competition, peer price reduction phenomenon is serious. Therefore, it is time for enterprises in the industry to upgrade their nonwoven products.

According to the statistics of SMS production line, the production capacity of non-adhesive spinning line increased by more than 1000 by the end of 2012, and reached more than 10 non-adhesive production lines in the national market. As a result, the market price of SMS products is only about 15000 yuan / ton, and the profit space of enterprises is further compressed. Many enterprise leaders said that spunbonded nonwovens are becoming more and more difficult to do.

"The way out for spunbonded nonwovens in the future is to take the road of differentiation and develop new nonwovens products." Spunbonded nonwovens industry elder Guo Hexin said to the author. One of the concepts that Mr. Guo has been advocating is that nonwovens eventually become clothing Fabric The main source of supply, he is confident. Whether Guo's wish can be realized still needs time to test. However, the birth of "hollow orange petal type two-component superfine fiber spunbonded spunlaced nonwovens" has taken an important step in this direction. It has become a consensus in the industry to make a decision to transform and upgrade and eliminate backward production capacity.
