Carry out elastic fiber innovation to the end
In 2002, when the Textile Fiber Business Department of a chemical company launched XLA, the first polyolefin-based elastic fiber, an innovative revolution in elastic fibers began. Today, 5 years later, XLA has penetrated into all fields of textile fabrics with its superior properties of high temperature resistance and strong chemical resistance, and has been adopted by many big-name clothing brands in the world. During the China International Textile Fabrics and Accessories Expo held in Shanghai recently, the company once again demonstrated new products of XLA fiber in the fields of shirts and denim fabrics, demonstrating the fashionable charm of elastic fibers.
“Environmentally Friendly” Elastic Fiber
Before the advent of XLA, spandex had been widely and successfully used in the field of elastic fibers. In this context , the launch of XLA inevitably makes people wonder: What is its purpose? Replace spandex? What’s unique about it? Can it be accepted by downstream users? In response, the Textile Fiber Business Department of the chemical company responded: The development of XLA elastic fiber is not to replace spandex, but to conduct research on the performance that spandex products cannot achieve or have not been applied in areas to make up for or fill the spandex market. Application deficiencies; the purpose is not to create an ordinary fiber, but to create a high-performance, high-value-added fiber.
Practice has proved that XLA fiber has shown the industry that it is indeed not an ordinary fiber with its three unique characteristics. After testing, XLA fiber is resistant to high temperatures and can withstand a temperature of 220°C; it is resistant to erosion by strong chemicals such as strong acids and alkalis; it can withstand severe processing conditions. After being washed, bleached, dyed, coated and bonded, , will not affect its inherent elasticity. It has been confirmed by some international brands that have applied XLA fiber: adding 3% to 5% XLA fiber to woven fabrics can increase the added value by about 10%; downstream clothing products can increase by about 10% to 20%. In addition, the main component of XLA is recyclable polyolefin, which does not release volatile organic compounds during the textile process. Therefore, it is also called “environmentally friendly” fiber.
Let shirts no longer wrinkle
“Today’s professionals do not have the time or inclination to iron clothes, so XLA elastic fibers are woven into cotton shirts. This will create common clothing that requires no ironing and is comfortable and elastic.” Based on this concept, the Textile Fiber Business Department has promoted and applied XLA to some internationally renowned shirt brands. Among them, CalvinKlein is the brand that has long used XLA elastic fiber in sateen shirts, casual shirts and business shirts, and has recently applied it to sports shirts. Al Moretti, group president of Phillips Van Heusen Dress Shirt Company, said that this elastic, iron-free shirt with high cotton content is not only easy to care for, but also meets consumers’ needs for comfort, high quality and personalization. By adding XLA spandex to cotton shirts, Brooks Brothers created its first-ever no-iron fitted stretch shirts for women, and later launched no-iron fitted shirts for men. Brooks Brothers’ innovation in the shirt field quickly set off a trend among consumers and the publishing world – “New York Magazine” named it the “Best Dress Shirt” in 2007.
Give denim clothing elasticity
At the China International Textile Fabrics and Accessories Expo held recently, it officially announced a partnership with Kurabo to jointly develop elastic denim cloth. This means that XLA’s innovative products are being extended to a wider range of apparel fabrics.
Denim has become the mainstream fabric in the international fashion market due to its combination of super durability, simple comfort and relaxed style. But for a long time, the industry did not provide a good solution for how to make denim fabrics elastic without changing their original rough style. Until the emergence of XLA. At the fabric show, they showed the denim containing XLA elastic fiber they had just developed with Kurabo. This kind of denim not only maintains the original appearance and feel of cotton denim, but also does not shrink, sag or bulge. Even after repeated wear, machine washing or dry cleaning, it can still maintain the elasticity and originality of the garment. Some shapes. This all stems from the fact that XLA elastic fibers can withstand strong chemical treatments and destructive finishing processes.
Increase promotion efforts in China
The company’s textile fiber business department launched XLA elastic fiber into the Chinese market in 2004, and has successively cooperated with my country’s Shandong Lutai, Zhejiang Youngor, Shanghai Tianhong, Jiangsu Lianfa and other enterprises have cooperated to develop and produce high-end yarn-dyed XLA core-spun yarn series, high-end XLA cotton elastic non-iron fabrics, high-end XLA high-temperature resistant and chlorine bleach-resistant elastic workwear fabrics, and high-end XLA elastic fabrics. Achieved impressive results. Zhu Han, Asia-Pacific sales manager of the Textile Fiber Business Department, said that facts have proven that Chinese textile companies are fully capable of producing high-end products. He emphasized that future cooperation with Chinese companies will not only be in the development of upstream products, but also with those high value-added brand companies. XLA has already had many cases of successful cooperation with clothing brands in the United States, Europe, and Japan, and has also been recognized by consumers. In the future, these successful experiences will be quickly applied to China, especially in shirts and denim clothing. on, let Chinese consumers enjoy the products provided by XLA as soon as possibleBrings softness and comfort.
