Quanzhou Textile Enterprises Are Developing New Products, Dressing Like Air Conditioners.

In view of the problems of long dyeing process, poor color fastness, low color fastness and large amount of wastewater that need to be treated, Quanzhou enterprises are developing the process of directly integrating pigment into silk thread in the production process of chemical fiber spinning.

"Traditional dyeing methods are made after the silk thread is produced or spun into cloth, and the pigment and fiber can not be completely fused. The non dyed fibers will be redrawn after the pigment and fiber raw materials are fully and evenly mixed, and the pigment and fiber have been completely integrated into one. Ceng Fuquan, general manager of Quanzhou York Pigment Co., Ltd.

"The same quality of fiber, the use of Color Masterbatch on-line dyeing technology costs only about 20% to 30% of traditional dyeing technology, which is not a waste water treatment fee." Ceng Fuquan said that at present, the technology has been developed and tested in textile enterprises in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. The technology has been very mature in chemical fiber production, and its dyeing principle is only applicable to chemical fiber products, and it can not be extended to natural fiber dyeing.

Air conditioning fibers regulate cooling and heating

Tianyu chemical fiber, a research and development of "air conditioning fiber", will let people experience the clothes can also automatically adjust the temperature. When you heat your hand on the "air conditioning cloth", you will feel the heat absorbed from the fabric. When your hands are cold, you can feel it warming up gradually. The company's relevant technology leader said, "air conditioning fiber" is called phase change energy storage fiber, it is a textile product with heat storage and heat release bidirectional temperature regulation function. Nowadays, in order to achieve cooling, the industry has developed comfortable moisture conductive fiber and cool fiber, but to achieve the cooling and heating temperature, some key technologies and cost problems need to be solved.

The market application of "air conditioning fiber" is mainly reflected in the fact that phase change materials can be cooled when the wearers are hot and warm for you when they are cold. The sportswear made of phase change fiber can prevent the human body from discomfort due to excessive temperature changes. In the medical field, bedding, clothing and bandages suitable for human body shape are manufactured according to the changes of the environment and human body temperature. In the industrial field, it can be used as building materials.

It is understood that the most important obstacle to industrialization is the cost. Because of the high cost of raw materials and the difficulty of blending with fiber, the cost of phase change materials is still high, and there is still a certain gap from the endurance of consumers.
