What Else Can Sportswear Fabrics Do?

In 2016, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil will host the summer Olympic Games. People will pay more attention to sportswear when they usually hold the Olympic Games. So it is also expected that the sales of sportswear fabrics will increase. This year is a very important year for sportswear related enterprises.

All chemical fiber manufacturers are aiming at this upsurge of demand. They think "it is important to improve originality" and actively promote the upgrading of fabrics.

Dongli company takes the lightweight bulky knitted fabric "KARUISHI" as one of the key materials. The fabric is a special knitted structure of two layers. It has the same thickness and fluffiness as the adhesive fabric, and it is also very lightweight. It is introduced as a new felt wool fabric instead of fleece fabric.

In the 2016 autumn and winter, a high elastic model with spandex was developed, and a coat model which improved water repellency, wind resistance and abrasion resistance was suitable for all kinds of dressing scenes from underwear to coat.

The constant water repellent fabric "TACTEEM" of the company is also constantly upgrading for the whole scene.

"TACTEEM" has achieved high water repellency by combining the original special composite processing yarn and water repellent processing without PFOA water repellent.

In sports and outdoor sports, even long time rainfall can also play an excellent water repellent effect. This series of products also knitted fabrics in this season.

Heating fabric and thermal fabric are also regular commodities in autumn and winter. Asahi Asahi Trading Company uses spandex "ROICA" special functional yarn through special weaving design to produce "STRETCH ENERGY" which has the function of extending heating.

"STRETCH ENERGY" is totally different from moisture absorption and heating fabric, and it can be regenerated and heated through fabric.

Toyo STC has introduced a new type of 100% polyester long fiber stretch fabric "TECHNISTA48", which has both fuzzing and warmth retention characteristics.

SEIREN has developed a new heating fabric, which is made of powdered wool and attached to the fabric with special adhesive and sold under the name "WOOLY THERMO".

The moisture absorption and heating characteristics of wool combine with the fast drying polyester fabric to prevent clothing from becoming stuffy.

All companies believe that in the last fiscal year, domestic sales in Japan were sluggish, "sales of competitive apparel fabrics were sluggish", "golf apparel fabrics also struggled", and driven by the depreciation of the yen, exports to the United States were very strong.

This trend is expected to continue this year. In order to stop the domestic consumption downturn and expand exports, it is essential to develop distinctive products.

In addition to advancing

The development of new products for functional fabrics has also accelerated the tendency to apply the functions of sportswear fabrics to non sports areas.

Especially in the field of business clothing, with the change of styles, the range of consumers is also expanding. Meanwhile, more and more casual clothes are made of sportswear fabrics.

For chemical fiber manufacturers, developing fabrics that meet these needs is also indispensable.

After the East Japan earthquake, Japan's attention to functional fabrics for energy saving helps due to the lack of power supply and other reasons.

Sportswear fabric manufacturers are also developing their business clothing fabrics and non sports apparel manufacturers.

For example, the dry fabric "CARAT", which is used by polyester and water repellent yarns, has been used for business shirts.

In addition, Dongli company has set up a special area for business clothing in the booth of sportswear fabric exhibition in recent years.

In June, we also introduced the business clothing fabrics in spring and summer, and the cool business fabrics used by large multi brand integrated stores and department store clothing manufacturers were attracted by the audience.

STC is also preparing to target

The newly developed hygroscopic polyester staple fiber "Greffage" has been used in various fields.

By improving the moisture absorption property of cotton, the product can be developed into underwear and business shirt.

In addition to the sportswear fabric exhibition, the company also displays products through multiple channels, across all departments to explore areas that can play the role of sportswear fabrics.

In addition to the growth of business clothing materials, we need to promote the use of casual clothing in order to develop a wider sales channel.

Sportswear manufacturers have been developing clothes for everyday wear since a long time ago. In recent years, active sports lifestyle has been popularized in the market, and fashion brands have begun to accelerate the entry of sports factors into their products.

The separation of sportswear brands and fashion brands becomes blurred, and fashion fabrics also begin to join sports elements.

Under such circumstances, if we want to promote fabrics in leisure wear, the key is "short fiber style" and "soft style".

In particular, it is necessary to develop cationic dyed variegated fabrics, which can be seen in many exhibitions.

Dongli has launched a denim style fabric made of short staple knitted fabric "FITTY" made of 3GT fiber.

In the field of sportswear, the "DELTA", which combines the function, comfort and style, has also begun to focus on the advantages of the company.

Uses for developing variegated style models.

In the future, functional yarns will be used to deepen the cooperation with the fabric producing enterprises such as the first fabric company to market new products and tap the needs of customers.

The target is sales of non sportswear clothing manufacturers, which account for about 20% of the sales of sports fabrics.

SEIREN company develops its customers through the digital production system "Viscotecs". Through inkjet printing, it displays fine performance on all kinds of fabrics, and is also committed to the processing of double Raschel fabrics. In the past, with the use of shoes as the axis, it will also promote the leisure clothing and bags and other groceries.
