The New Crown Will Spawn China'S Global Healthy Textile Industry Chain And Supply Chain.

China is a large textile and garment manufacturing country and a large producer of chemical fibers. It has the world's first complete industrial chain and supply chain. China, as a large producer of masks, has half the world's mask production capacity. China's textile industry chain and supply chain not only play a very important role in the "war epidemic" in China, but also will embody the strength of China's textile manufacturing in the global "war epidemic". At present, with the spread of the world's new crown disease, the price of masks in Italy, Germany, South Korea, Australia and other countries has risen sharply, and the market has been short of supply. "Masks shortage" has restricted exports. The Trump administration of the United States in March 5, 2020 also exempted dozens of medical products tariffs from China, including masks, disinfectant wipes and medical gloves, etc., totaling more than 100 items. The tax is directly returned to zero. In the fight against the disease, the production of Chinese masks from the "hard cover" to 116 million masks of Nissan production capacity took only 1 months. Sinopec and national machine Heng Tian Group joined hands for 12 days to build a 10000 ton meltblown plant, which fully reflects the speed of China's textile manufacturing. At the same time, we must also soberly recognize the existing problems and the historical opportunities to control development.

The intensity of textile industry chain is questioned by sudden outbreaks.

The new crown pneumonia epidemic caused huge demand for protective products, no doubt to China's textile industry chain and supply chain is a test. This "impulsive" instantaneous demand exposes our problems in the storage and production of protective equipment.

First is the shortage of textiles for emergency disaster relief. Take protective clothing as an example. In the early days of the outbreak, the protective clothing as a front-line health care worker's life line is also seriously inadequate, and the domestic qualified production enterprises can only produce 30 thousand units a day. But a city in Wuhan needs one hundred thousand medical protective clothing every day, which needs 3 million sets of masks.

Second, it is necessary to attach importance to the emergency supply capability of the main raw materials for protective products. From the Sinopec issued a heroic "I have melted spray cloth, who has a mask machine?" to the market, "I have mask machine, who has melted spray cloth?" demand slogan, PP melt melt cloth market price has increased more than 10 times. This fully reflects the capacity allocation of every link in the industrial chain under extreme conditions.

Third, we should further strengthen the research and development of antibacterial filtration textile core technology and original fiber technology. PP melt blown nonwoven technology is an original technology in the United States. In the early 1950s, the United States Navy laboratory developed filtration material technology for ultrafine filtration to collect radioactive particles produced by nuclear tests. In the middle of 1960s, the Exxon company further studied the technology and worked with Accurate to create the first melt blown equipment prototype and applied for a patent. Polypropylene was invented in 1954 by Professor.Ziegler and Natta Zieglei Natta catalyst and made of crystalline isotactic polypropylene. In 1963, it won the Nobel prize.

The intrinsic motivation of global demand for healthy textiles

The history of human civilization and progress is actually a history of struggle against epidemic viruses. With the spread of the new crown epidemic around the world, people from all over the world have gradually realized that virus is a possibility to co-exist with mankind and attack mankind at any time. Therefore, combating epidemic virus will be a long-term epidemic prevention activity. This epidemic has undoubtedly deepened people's awareness of the meaning of life and changed our attitude towards life. In front of life, no matter rich or poor, high or low, value is the same. After the outbreak of the new crown disease, people have a new understanding of the meaning of life, more reverence for nature, reverence for life, more and more attention to health and environmental protection, and the concept of green and healthy will be more popular. Social environmental awareness and healthy consumption will become a trend. The epidemic also changed the social concepts and people's life rules, changed the way of life and consumption patterns, and changed the industrial ecology and industry structure. Fashion is cyclical. Luxury is temporary. Only health and comfort are timeless. Natural and green are the pursuit. "Green, healthy, comfortable" will run through the history of human textile and even the history of human development. In the post epidemic era, every one of us and every life will be redefined and positioned. We need to re write the song of life and reveal the value of ourselves. With the improvement of consumers' cognition of life and health, the habit of health protection consumption will become a new fashion. Various kinds of textiles, such as protection, disinfection and hygiene, will emerge in an endless stream to meet consumers' new physiological and psychological needs.

What are the big health textile products under the background of intelligent manufacturing?

According to the application, large health textiles can usually be classified into the following categories:

1, medical and health textiles. For example, general hospitals use work clothes, sick clothes, sheets, covers, mattresses, bedding, blankets, pillowcases, towels and respirators. External use of medical adhesive tape, cotton swab, gauze, bandage, band aid, absorbent cotton, bandage cloth, adhesive tape base, wound dressing, plaster cloth, hemostatic fiber and so on. Surgical gowns, surgical caps, masks, surgical covers and X light operated clothing and gloves for medical protection. Medical functional suture lines, hemostasis fibers, artificial blood vessels, artificial skin, artificial hair, artificial respirator, artificial kidney, artificial lung, artificial liver, artificial bone and artificial joint, artificial tendon, artificial heart valve and repair fabric, hernia repair fabric, plasma separator, fiber reinforced artificial bone plate, etc.

2, daily hygiene products. For example, sanitary napkins, sanitary cotton, tampon, children's urine pants, elderly incontinence urine pad, antibacterial socks and so on.

3. Sports and health care textiles. For example, the pressure socks for prevention and treatment of varicose veins of the lower extremities are estimated to be over US $100 billion worldwide. Others include orthodontic band, restraint strap, corset belt, corrective clothing, elastic shoulder protector, wrist protector, kneecap, waist protector, etc.

4. Textile composite materials for medical devices and instruments. For example, glass fiber, metal fiber, ceramic fiber, carbon fiber reinforced composites and elastic fiber manufacturing wheelchair, crutches, stretchers, trucks and other medical devices.

With the arrival of China's aging society and adjustment of population policy, as well as the iteration of global consumption of protective, medical, sanitary and personal care textiles, there is no doubt that large health functional textiles are the trend of upgrading and upgrading of textile consumption in the future. Dajian Kang textile industry chain and supply chain will usher in new consumption driven under the background of AI technology. One step is optimization and development.

How to improve the industrial chain and supply chain of China's big health textiles?

This is actually one of the proposition that China's textile manufacturing power is heading for a strong textile manufacturing nation. The examination of the global epidemic will inevitably require China's textile industry chain and supply chain to have the ability of global quick response and the ability to respond. Under the impact of the sudden outbreak of emergency relief and protection and the daily consumption of green health, all countries in the world are actively developing and producing green consumer textiles, which are good for disaster prevention and relief, protect human health, and have antibacterial, disinfectant, and individual daily health care functions. In the face of the growth of new demand for global disaster relief reserves and large health textiles, how to improve the global competitiveness of Chinese textile manufacturing and optimize the industrial chain and supply chain of China's textile manufacturing is a practical problem that we textile workers must answer.

First of all, Sinopec and other central enterprises should take the lead in increasing investment in scientific research, further cooperate with universities to carry out industry university research cooperation, carry out research on original technology and hard core technology oriented to industrialization, and universities should weaken the assessment mechanism for publishing papers in SCI papers, adjust the allocation mechanism of scientific research funds, overcome academic formalism, and allow researchers to calm down and engage in scientific research and encourage researchers. The writer writes the paper in the practice of original technology research and industrialization and truly improves the ability of technological innovation.

Secondly, under the condition of artificial intelligence, we should fully develop global related demand and consumption big data technology, industrial Internet of things technology under Beidou satellite navigation technology, and plan for layout along the "one belt and one road" country to establish material reserves and production bases. In particular, we must seize the opportunity of 5G application this year to further optimize the digital transformation and supply chain process of China's textile manufacturing global industrial chain. Nowadays, the competition between the global enterprises and enterprises is essentially the competition between the supply chains of the enterprises. To create an efficient supply chain and improve the competitiveness of the supply chain, we need not only the help of innovative technology, but also the establishment of a whole ecosystem, full chain collaborative industrial Internet of things platform and supply chain service system.

Third, adjust relevant disciplines and cultivate talents at all levels. The combination of first-class discipline construction and Chinese textile technology innovation will provide talent support for China's textile manufacturing powerhouse. While presenting China's emergency epidemic prevention programme to the world and supplying China's large health textile products, we also need to study these textile waste recycling and treatment technologies, and provide the world with a plan for China's environmental protection.

Finally, brand building leads the globalization of China's big health textile industry chain and supply chain, and supports textile enterprises to enter the mask industry of international high-end brands. Masks are the most classic case: the advantages of Chinese masks are low cost and capacity, but the Pyramid tip of the mask industry is still dominated by 3M, Honeywell, and uniya, and behind this is a set of manufacturing. The industrial logic of a powerful country. Although masks are super large scale, cheap manufacturing and modular assembly products, behind the world brand masks 3M, Honeywell and Unitya are the world's top 500 manufacturers. Mask production has complex and delicate industrial chain. Behind the mask is material competition and equipment competition. How big is the share of Chinese brand masks in the global market? Chinese textile manufacturers still have a long way to go in terms of original technology and underlying technology innovation.
