The Role And Development Suggestions Of Industrial Textiles In Major Emergencies Under The Epidemic Situation

Industrial textiles are an important part of the new material industry. They are not only widely used in the people's livelihood industry, but also play an important role in the national strategic security, and have become the strategic support force in the fields of medical and health, safety protection, environmental protection, infrastructure construction, new energy, aerospace, defense and military industries. Its technology innovation is active and its added value is high. It has always been a key industry to support and encourage development. The proportion of textile processing in China's textile industry has increased from 20% in 2010 to about 30% in 2019, ranking second in the three major applications of the textile industry (clothing, industry and household). The main business income, profit and industrial added value have been leading in the textile industry. The industrial textiles industry has become one of the most dynamic areas in China's industrial system, and the room for future development is still enormous.


Since the concept of "industrial textiles" was put forward in 1984, industrial textiles have been well known inside and outside the industry for over 30 years because of its ubiquitous "shadow". Over the past 30 years, industrial textiles have played a unique supporting role in various aspects such as virus prevention and control, flood prevention, earthquake relief, fire rescue, nuclear leakage disposal, marine oil spill control, war and terrorist attacks.


The outbreak of the new crown pneumonia has made the industry textile industry once again show its importance and necessity. China's industrial textile industry associations and enterprises in the industry take the interests of the state and the people as their interests. In the early days of the outbreak of the epidemic, they actively put in the campaign to prevent and control the new crown virus, overcome many difficulties, and organize the production of medical protective materials such as masks and medical protective clothing, so as to ensure the normal supply of raw materials. At the same time, the middle class has actively carried out investigation and research, deeply analyzed the impact of the epidemic on the development of industry and enterprises, promoted the resumption of work, resumed production, put forward policy proposals and propaganda and guidance, and made great contributions to the fight against the epidemic. It has received the deep recognition and praise from the leaders of the State Council and the relevant ministries and commissions of the state.


The role of industrial textiles in major emergencies


Fight against epidemic disease and protect the peace of mind


Mask is a "weapon" for medical staff to fight against the epidemic situation, and a "shield" for protecting the health of the masses. Medical protective clothing is the armor and the "battle shirt" of the "soldier" of the first line of anti epidemic. Masks and medical protective clothing belong to the category of industrial textiles. They are key materials needed to prevent and control epidemic situations, and are also the focus of attention of governments and people at all levels. Whether it is the 2003 fight against SARS or the current "new crown" of prevention and control, masks and medical protective clothing have played a vital role in preventing viruses, preventing infection, increasing safety and protecting health. They have become a barrier for the country to rest assured and keep the people at ease, and provide a strong guarantee for the ultimate victory of anti epidemic. The new crown pneumonia outbreak is the most serious public health emergency in China since the founding of new China. For the industry textile industry, it was a great war, and also a big test. Production enterprises such as masks, protective clothing, raw materials, equipment, finished products and other industrial chains have been actively taking action to join the fight against "epidemic", providing strong support for the production of respirators and medical protective clothing, and have made important contributions to ease the shortage of materials for preventing and controlling epidemic situation. In the face of the epidemic, enterprises in the industrial textiles industry ran out of China's manufacturing acceleration, reflecting the industry's epidemic prevention.


Strong foundation, Changzhi long stable


Geosynthetics play an important role in infrastructure construction, especially in flood prevention and rescue, such as protection, isolation, drainage and anti filtration. Moreover, the application of geosynthetics in dam construction can improve the quality of the project, extend the service life of the project, save the cost of the project, and play a positive role in protecting the ecological environment.


In 1998, the Yangtze River, Songhua River and Nenjiang were flooded by river basins. Along with the struggle against floods, geosynthetics, commonly known as geotextiles, have received widespread attention due to their remarkable effects in flood fighting and rescue. The leaders of the State Council have made clear instructions on the promotion of geosynthetics in flood prevention and rescue. At that time, a foreign geotechnical and synthetic material expert sighed after seeing the flood report in China: if the geotextiles were widely used in the construction of dams, the losses caused by the floods in China would be much smaller. In addition, geosynthetics also played an important role in the battle against the "new crown" epidemic. In the process of waterproofing and seepage prevention and protection works in the fire god mountain and Raytheon Hill Hospital, Geotextiles and geomembranes were used in the foundation impervious layer, which provided support for the anti epidemic work from the other side.


Disaster relief and elimination of hazards


Tent, rescue and escape rope, special protective clothing and other industrial textiles are important guarantee materials for disasters such as earthquakes, fires, oil tank explosions and so on. They play an extremely important role in protecting people's life and property safety and social harmony and stability. Tent, rescue rigging, airdrop storage bags and other "life rescue" appliances have provided strong support for the rescue of life and disaster victims after the earthquake in Wenchuan and Yushu. Special protective clothing has provided physical and life safety protection for first-aid personnel in the special environment such as fire and nuclear radiation.


In addition, functional filtration and separation textiles can effectively reduce the release of radioactive substances in nuclear leakage accidents; the use of oil blocking ropes, oil filter cloth and oil absorbing felt in the crude oil leakage accident can quickly handle the accident site, avoid greater adverse effects, and can effectively recover crude oil; polymer flexible membrane structure materials can be implemented more quickly and conveniently. Emergency rescue at sea. With the continuous innovation of raw materials, technology and products, the role of industrial textiles in emergency rescue will continue to expand.


Equipment support to reduce casualties


In order to safeguard the national economic development and the safety and stability of national life, public safety has always been in an important position. The personal safety of employees in the military and national defense security system is highly concerned by all countries. Bulletproof clothing, bulletproof helmets and other bulletproof textiles have become an indispensable personal protective equipment, playing an increasingly important role in safeguarding the personal safety of soldiers.


In recent years, under the theme of peace and development, wars and terrorist activities still exist. The number of global armed conflicts and the number of fatal / non lethal weapons is increasing, which poses a great threat to the lives and safety of soldiers, policemen and the masses. In this case, the application of protective textiles with bullet proof, stab resistant, heat-resistant, flame retardant and anti chemical functions or multiple functions is particularly important. It plays an important role in reducing casualties caused by war and counter-terrorism.


Suggestions for development of industrial textiles industry


Under the grim situation of frequent major emergencies and increasing difficulty in prevention and control. Vigorously developing industrial textiles can provide important material guarantee for preventing and dealing with emergencies. It can enhance the ability of emergency rescue and enhance the risk level of the whole society. It is of great significance for safeguarding the safety of people's lives and property and safeguarding national public safety.


In view of the problems found in China's industrial textiles industry in coping with all kinds of major emergencies and current epidemic prevention and control, the following suggestions are made for the future development of the industry.


Improve the emergency reserve mechanism and improve the support capability


During the period of prevention and control of new crown pneumonia, the most important concern is the storage and supply of emergency supplies such as respirators and medical protective clothing. Masks and medical protective clothing are extremely tight in medical institutions. There is also a shortage of masks and price increases in the market. In order to alleviate the situation that masks and protective clothing are in short supply, the relevant departments, in accordance with the deployment of the joint defense and joint control mechanism of the State Council, have done everything possible to manage the production and expansion of production and production to a certain extent, alleviating the supply shortage to a certain extent, but still face the huge gap. Under the current circumstances, it is urgent to improve the national emergency reserve mechanism for masks and medical protective clothing, and the imperfect part of the vacancy system.


In view of the problems existing in the current emergency reserve mechanism, it is suggested that the emergency materials reserve standards such as masks and medical protective clothing should be perfected, and the hierarchical reserve system of central, local and key enterprises should be established, and the varieties, specifications, quantity, time and renewal of material reserves of governments at all levels should be clearly defined. Capital reserve and production; formulate tax reduction and exemption policy, encourage enterprises and social organizations to store emergency supplies; establish integrity system and various main credit records in emergency supplies procurement, emergency expropriation, voluntary contributions and disaster relief.


Adjustment of statistical classification system, precise industry information


Strengthening standard system construction and coordinating quality supervision


China Industrial Textile Industry Association is the director of the national textile Standardization Technical Committee (TC209/SC7). The international standardization organization geosynthetics Technical Committee (ISO/TC221), a domestic technical counterpart, has undertaken the domestic and international standardization work in the field of industrial textiles, and has assumed the national military standard of the textile industry. Management work. In daily work, especially in the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the industry deeply felt that the organizational form of the standardization work of the textile industry is not in line with the important role of the industry in the national public safety and emergency support, which is not conducive to professional and systematic operation and management, and is not conducive to the coordination and communication between the upstream and downstream industries of the industry chain.


It is suggested to strengthen the standardized management functions of the textile industry, carry out more professional and efficient standardization and coordinate the whole industry chain, mobilize more resources to serve the current economic development focus and hot spots of environmental protection, emergency emergencies, safety protection, medical health, and so on, and form an inter departmental collaborative mechanism to promote the upstream and downstream standards of the industrial chain. Seamless docking and supporting policies to improve the standardization of industrial textiles to achieve overall management and quality supervision.
