This year, due to the impact of the epidemic, anti-epidemic fabrics in the textile industry have stood out in the industry. Abnormal phenomena such as shortages, rushes, and skyrocketing prices have occurred frequently. Masks, protective clothing and other anti-epidemic supplies require melt-blown fabrics and non-woven fabrics. However, the output of these fabrics is small, and the supply is temporarily insufficient. Coupled with the skyrocketing prices, industry players have to seek new paths. In April, the gray fabric market in Jiangsu and Zhejiang started a craze for using low-end chemical fiber fabrics such as polyester taffeta and pongee to produce protective clothing. Not only does it solve the demand problem, but it also reduces costs.
Protective clothing produced from ordinary fabrics can only be used once
However, protective clothing produced from this type of chemical fiber fabrics is also ” “Hidden Mysteries” are divided into different types and require special post-processing. The most common protective clothing fabrics are made of ordinary polyester taffeta and pongee, coated with antistatic additives, and then processed with composite films before they can be used as qualified protective clothing fabrics. However, because its protective properties are not as good as protective clothing produced from non-woven fabrics, it can only be used once and can only be used in public places, small clinics and other areas.
Protective clothing produced from conductive yarn fabrics can be reused
Another upgraded version of protective fabric is conductive yarn fabric, which is to add conductive yarn fabric to conventional polyester taffeta, pongee and other fabrics. There is no need to add antistatic agent, and it can be directly combined with the film. Moreover, the protective clothing produced from this type of fabric has good anti-epidemic effect, is permanently anti-static, can be washed and reused 150 times, and is no longer disposable.
The epidemic has caused the prices of conductive yarn fabrics and raw materials to rise
These two protective fabrics have their own advantages and disadvantages, so they are both popular in the market. Conductive yarn fabrics can be reused, while conventional fabrics can only be used once. Obviously, there is a big difference in price between the two. The price of conductive yarn fabrics is usually 5-6 yuan/meter, while ordinary fabrics only cost 2-3 yuan/meter, a price difference of 50%. In addition, conductive yarn fabrics also save the process and cost of applying antistatic additives.
In fact, conductive yarn fabrics have It is an old product, but it has not been popular in the market in previous years. It is just a niche product. However, due to the impact of the epidemic this year, the market has paid great attention to it and set off a craze.
According to the person in charge of a chemical fiber factory that produces conductive yarn raw materials, the original sales of conductive yarn were average and have been tepid. This year, affected by the epidemic prevention fabrics, it began to become popular, and the price A rising tide lifts all boats. It is understood that the original price of polyester conductive yarn was 160,000/ton, and now it has risen to 210,000/ton; the original price of nylon conductive yarn was 210,000/ton, and it has risen to 280,000/ton.
The epidemic has made conductive yarn fabrics popular, and they will be popular in the future
The special epidemic has made anti-epidemic fabrics popular. But when the epidemic is completely over, the popularity of anti-epidemic fabrics is bound to decline. However, conductive yarn fabrics may have a different fate. With the popularity of anti-epidemic fabrics, they will also become a new fashion trend in the future. In addition to producing anti-epidemic fabrics, conductive yarn fabrics can also be used in all clothing fabrics. As long as a few conductive threads are added during the weaving process, it can play an antistatic role. At present, most of the clothing using conductive threads is made of military uniforms, work clothes, and down jacket linings, and it is not completely popular.
After experiencing this epidemic, people will pay more and more attention to health management. I believe that the requirements for clothing will also be higher. Antistatic will become an indispensable part of future clothing. monitoring standards. The person in charge of the conductive yarn chemical fiber factory said with confidence: “The future of conductive yarn fabrics will be bright, and it will definitely be popularized by the public and integrated into the conventional fabric industry.”
