　　 ■ With more and more extreme weather conditions caused by climate change, the market of sunscreen clothing and accessories has been booming.

　　 ■ Tencel ? The fabrics made of Modal fiber for UV protective clothing * can meet the industry's demand for non petroleum based fabrics for high-performance UV protective clothing under the conditions of suitable fabric structure, color and surface treatment

　　 ■ Lanjing is meeting the strong demand of Chinese and Asian markets by providing this latest UV protection product

　　 Lanjing Group is the world's leading producer of wood-based cellulose fibers, and will display Tencel for anti ultraviolet clothing * at the Intertextile Shanghai 2024 ? Modal fiber. This fiber is developed for the production of high-quality fabrics with sunscreen performance, and can provide non petroleum based fabrics in the ultraviolet protection (UPF) clothing market. According to the forecast of the global market research company Rational Stat, the global sunscreen (UPF) clothing market is expected to grow strongly at a compound annual growth rate of more than 7.7% during 2023-2030. According to a report by Insight Consulting, UPF garment market sales in China are expected to grow at an annual rate of 9.4% by 2026.

　　 Responsible fiber solutions for developing UV protective clothing

　　 Tencel for UV protective clothing * ? Modal fiber has ? Modal fiber has the same unique fiber characteristics. Its raw materials come from natural wood. Compared with ordinary Modal fiber, its carbon emissions and water consumption are reduced by at least 50%. This fiber has a unique matting agent, which can not only reflect light, but also absorb and scatter light, thus reducing the sunlight and sunlight intensity directly on the skin. The fabric made of this fiber is naturally soft and smooth to the touch, and the moisture control property of this fiber can make the fabric feel natural and dry.

　　 Appropriate fabric structure, color and surface treatment are crucial to ensure that the finished fabric has the best UPF protection performance. Youtiansi ? UV resistant clothing made of Modal fiber * can provide up to UPF 50+sun protection, and is an ideal non petroleum based fabric for outdoor and sports clothing, because these clothing usually need lightweight, comfortable and UV resistant functions. Tested according to the Chinese national UPF standard, 90% of Tencel ? The anti ultraviolet clothing * fabric made of Modal fiber and 10% spandex can keep UPF>50 and T (UVA) AV: 3.00% even after 20 times of washing.

　　 Hu Yanjun, senior commercial director of Lanjing Group's textile business department in China, said, "The recent test results in China further prove that Tencel ? The performance and efficacy of Modal fiber used in anti ultraviolet clothing * under the optimal fabric structure conditions. We are very happy to work with Shanghai Sicheng Industrial Co., Ltd. to produce a series of new sunscreen clothing fabrics. These fabrics not only have excellent UV protection performance, but also meet our vision of reducing the dependence of sunscreen products on petroleum based materials to meet the growing demand of Chinese consumers. "

　　 Wang Haiqing, general manager of Shanghai Sicheng Industrial Co., Ltd., said, "The cooperation with Lanjing demonstrates our commitment to innovation and to providing customers with responsible and effective sunscreen solutions. Tiansi, which is used for ultraviolet protective clothing, is added to our fabric ? Modal fiber not only enables us to develop breathable and comfortable base layer fabrics for spring and summer, but also provides the sunscreen and anti-aging effects commonly expected by Asian consumers. By optimizing the fabric structure, color and thickness, we constantly innovate and provide high-quality, chemical free UV protection base layer to meet the changing needs of customers. "

　　 Looking into the future, Lanjing believes that Tencel may be used for UV protective clothing ? The application of Modal fiber extends to a wider range of product categories, including casual wear, sportswear and work clothes, and continues to promote responsible production in the textile value chain.

　　 As the value chain partners of China's textile industry seek to take a more responsible approach to meet the changing needs of consumers, Lanjing will display its latest UV protection products and other innovative products of responsible fibers and fabrics that meet the needs of the Chinese market during the Shanghai International Textile Fabric Exhibition (March 6-8). Welcome to Lanjing Group's Hall 5.1 E105 for more information.

　　 4. This is the test result based on the Chinese test standard - Textiles - Evaluation of UV Protection Performance (GB/T 18830-2009), which is the only national method standard for testing the UV protection performance of textiles at present. This standard specifies the testing method of the ultraviolet protection performance of textiles, the expression, evaluation and labeling of the protection grade. The standard stipulates: "When the UPF of the sample is>40 and T (UVA) AV<5%, it can be called an ultraviolet protection product.
