Industrial textiles: continue to be the engine of China’s textile industry

A puddle of water is “accidentally” sprinkled on the carpet, and it naturally gathers together and “floats” on the surface of the carpet, waiting for the owner to clean it, without being absorbed by the carpet at all; put a piece of white and ordinary Apply hemostatic gauze that is almost the same as gauze on the back of your hand and pour a few drops of water on it. Within ten minutes you will see it gradually melt and be absorbed by the skin; the throat lining made of carbon fiber fit material can withstand high temperatures of thousands of degrees. It has been industrialized and used in key parts of rocket engines… These high-tech gadgets were all exhibited at the “2016 China International Industrial Fabrics and Nonwovens Exhibition” held in Shanghai. This is the 12th edition of the exhibition, and it has grown into Asia’s largest professional exhibition on industrial fabrics with international influence.

With its growth, this industry event co-sponsored by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade Fabrics Branch, China Industrial Fabrics Industry Association, and Messe Frankfurt (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. has naturally attracted the attention of the industry. This exhibition attracted a record breaking number of nearly 500 exhibitors from 26 countries and regions, with the exhibition area reaching 35,000 square meters. Some big brands from developed countries in Europe and the United States that had been absent once again returned to the exhibition with their flagship products. The huge potential of China’s local market attracted various exhibitors. During the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, the total fiber finishing of China’s industrial fabrics increased at an average annual rate of 10.3%, and its proportion in the total fiber finishing of fabrics increased from 20% to 25%. During the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” period, this proportion will continue to increase to 33%. “Industrial fabrics have strongly promoted the structural optimization and industrial upgrading of China’s fabric industry. The industry plays an important role in medical and health, ecology and environmental protection, safety and protection, transportation and agricultural production, infrastructure construction and aerospace and other important fields related to the national economy and people’s livelihood. It has made a huge contribution.” said Sun Ruizhe, President of China Fabric Industry Federation.

Looking at technology at the Industrial and Textile Exhibition

After an artery as thin as a little finger is damaged, you can stop the bleeding by pressing it for ten minutes with the “S100 absorbent hemostatic tape”, but at the same time it does not hinder the continued flow of blood in the blood vessel. This This effectively ensures the survival rate of the body. Americans conducted an experiment on it and found that if this product is used for blood loss on the battlefield, the amputation rate will be reduced by 66%.

The manufacturer of this wonderful hemostatic gauze is an authentic local company called Beijing Techosman Technology Development Co., Ltd., which is a subsidiary of Beijing Fashion Holding Group Company. After more than ten years of research and development and promotion, this plant-derived fiber has a Class III medical device certificate approved by the State Food and Drug Administration in China. It can be used in surgeries and is a medical device that can bear high risks. This product also has CE Class III medical device certification in Europe. It is a Class II product in the United States and can be used for in vitro treatment. “In China, our products cover all provincial capital cities across the country, and are used in operating rooms in more than 1,000 tertiary hospitals, selling 1.7 million tablets every year; in the United States, the market is mainly focused on retail, American chain pharmacies, and supermarket chains. We have tens of thousands of drug counters,” said Zhang Jinyu, general manager of Tycosman.

This product, which can be absorbed by the human body and is particularly safe, can stop bleeding during surgery and trauma, and assist in wound recovery. It can also prevent tissue adhesion after surgery, making patients more comfortable during surgery. The subsequent drainage period and discomfort period are shortened, allowing patients to enjoy a better quality of life. After continuous upgrades, this year’s product can better improve the quality of surgery when used in neurosurgery, which is a particularly risky brain surgery.

American Chemical Fiber Leading International Co., Ltd., which comes from Connecticut, USA and settled in Shandong, has found business opportunities from the fact that carpets are rarely installed in Chinese homes: everyone is afraid of dirt and mites . Fabrics that can integrate multiple functions such as environmental protection, water-blocking, anti-fouling, anti-static, bacteriostatic, mildew-proof, and fire-proof can only be achieved with nano-scale materials, which can only be achieved with polymer materials. “Our company’s product is the first of its kind to include these functions,” said General Manager Ms. Zhao Li. The density of this fiber derived from nylon 66 is 360 times that of ordinary carpets, so dust cannot get in and there is no place for mites to breed. It is very simple to take care of, just a vacuum cleaner is enough. When we saw the pool of water, it had been there for most of the day and had no intention of being drained. This is true for water, let alone solid dust. Inspired by this, the company plans to promote this high-tech product called Anthurong, which has nearly 10 patents, to cars, high-speed trains, airplanes and other places where floor covering materials and seat cushions are needed.

Such high-tech and new-tech materials and products can be found everywhere at the Industrial and Textile Exhibition. ProduceIt is the consensus in the industry to look at technology at textile exhibitions. Hangzhou Nuobang Nonwoven Co., Ltd. exhibited spunlace nonwovens used in medical, beauty and industrial fields, and Tiandingfeng Nonwovens Co., Ltd. exhibited high-strength coarse-denier polypropylene spun fabrics that can replace polyester geotextiles. Needle-punched geotextiles, polyester high-strength yarns and polyester chips launched by Jiangsu Hengli Chemical Fibers are all new raw materials. The demand for medical fabrics in China is estimated to be 323,200 tons in 2016 and will reach 424,600 tons in 2019, which also stimulates the nerves of companies producing medical fabrics.

Continue to work on the engine

“During the ‘Twelfth Five-Year Plan’ period, the industrial fabrics industry has well assumed the important task of becoming a new economic growth point for my country’s fabric industry, and has become an important direction and direction for the transformation, upgrading and structural adjustment of the fabric industry. One of the main ways. At the same time, during the ‘Twelfth Five-Year Plan’ period, the country paid more attention to the sustainable development of the environment and economy, which brought more and better opportunities to the industrial fabrics industry.” Vice President of China Fabric Industry Federation , said Li Lingshen, president of the China Industrial Fabrics Industry Association. In 2015, the total industrial output value of the industrial fabrics industry increased by 63% compared with 2010, with an average annual growth rate of 10.3%; the total fiber finishing volume was 13.41 million tons, an increase of 49.3% over 2010, with an average annual growth rate of 8.3%, which accounted for 13.41 million tons of fiber finishing volume in the fabric industry. The proportion of the total volume reached 25.3%, an increase of 5.5 percentage points from 2010; the total industry exports reached 20.74 billion US dollars, an average annual growth of 10.3%; the profit margin of enterprises above designated size was 5.8%, an increase of 1 percentage point from 2010; the total number of high-performance fiber The consumption exceeded 100,000 tons, double that of 2010.

The “13th Five-Year Plan” is the decisive stage for China to build a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way and a critical period for building a powerful cloth country. The systematic advancement of supply-side structural reform, the accelerated progress of science and technology, the concentrated release of policy dividends, and the continuous upgrading of consumer demand have created broad room for development and huge market opportunities for the industrial fabrics industry. It is estimated that by 2020, the application proportion of bag (electric-bag) dust collectors in coal-fired power plants will increase from the current 25% to more than 40%; the market penetration rate of domestic medical fabric products will increase to 15%; the market penetration rate of domestic adult care products It will increase from less than 2% currently to 10%. Throughout the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” period, China’s consumer demand for industrial fabrics will grow at an average annual rate of more than 8%.

Sun Ruizhe, President of China Textile Federation, pointed out: “From the perspective of development direction, China’s industrial fabrics industry will focus on fabrics for strategic emerging industries, fabrics for environmental protection industries, and health industries in the future. There are six key areas: fabrics for general use, fabrics for emergency and public safety industries, fabrics for ‘Belt and Road’ supporting industries, and fabrics for ‘military-civilian integration’ related industries.”

The “13th Five-Year Plan” for industrial fabrics to be announced soon proposes that the development goals of the “13th Five-Year Plan” are: the industry’s main economic indicators maintain rapid and steady growth; independent innovation capabilities are significantly improved. Breakthroughs in a series of key technologies and applications in key areas; the industrial structure is further optimized, industrial chain integration progresses, quality and efficiency levels are significantly improved, sustainable development capabilities are enhanced, and a number of backbone enterprises and industrial clusters with international influence are cultivated. By 2020, the total fiber finishing of industrial fabrics will reach 20 million tons, accounting for 33% of the total fabric fiber finishing; the use of high-performance fibers will reach more than 200,000 tons; industry reuse fibers and waste fabrics will be recycled The volume exceeds 3 million tons and the proportion of high-value recycling applications is increased, accounting for 15% of the total fiber finishing in the industry; providing solid support for the early realization of a cloth power.

Cao Xuejun, deputy director of the Consumer Goods Industry Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, emphasized the importance of nonwovens in the development of the industrial industry. She said: Nonwovens are an important basic material for industrial fabrics. It is a product field with the most active innovation, rapid development, and broad application potential. Under the situation of relatively sluggish progress in the fabric industry this year, Chinese nonwovens companies are mainly engaged in Revenue still maintained double-digit growth, and the growth rate was 2.4 times the average level of the fabric industry. The key points of industrial fabrics identified in the fabric industry development plan require support from the development of nonwovens. Therefore, she proposed that we should pay attention to and support the progress of nonwovens from several aspects: improve the level of innovation in nonwovens technology and equipment; focus on end products to increase variety, improve quality and create brands; support nonwovens companies to become better and stronger.
