Functional fabrics reach new heights in history

Functional fabrics reach new heights in history

Functional fabrics have become the most eye-catching scenery at the 13th China International Textile Fabrics and Accessories (Autumn and Winter) Expo. Exhibitors all regard the development of ecologically friendly and functional fabrics as the guideline for fabric development in the new era, and have more or less introduced the research and development of functional, green and environmentally friendly fabrics. The innovative development of textile functionality by fabric manufacturers has brought the functionality of fabrics to unprecedented prosperity and reached a new height in history.

One of the hot spots: function

Whether it is the diversity of fabric functions, the increasing improvement of technology, or the appearance design of fabrics, the products on display at this fabrics exhibition Functional fabrics have made great progress.

The functional fabrics of Xuron Group at this fabric expo were very attractive to professional audiences. Outlast thermostatic yarn, X-Static silver fiber, coconut charcoal fiber, bamboo carbon fiber and bamboo fiber knitted fabrics have won the favor of buyers with their new features. Outlast temperature-regulating yarn fabric uses microcapsule phase change material ─ PCM in the Outlast fiber. It uses its solid → liquid, solid → solid phase change to show different heat absorption and release functions under different ambient temperatures, and maintains a relatively stable temperature. With constant characteristics, the fabric woven from Outlast temperature-regulating yarn has a climate-regulating function and can form a good microclimate between the body and clothing, which is especially suitable for harsh climates with large temperature differences. Products are used in outdoor clothing, underwear, sweaters, hats, gloves, bedding, etc. X-Static is a silver fiber developed by Noble Fiber Technologies in the United States. Its base material is nylon fiber (N66). The fiber surface has a 99.9% pure silver-plated layer. After more than ten years of research and development, X-Static silver fiber serves as an antimicrobial The material has been approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Drug Administration (FDA), has been confirmed by Oeko-Tex as not harmful to human health, and has been approved by the Japanese Ministry of Health as an antibacterial material. Therefore, the good antibacterial properties of X-Static silver fiber fabrics have become a bright spot in the industry. The coconut charcoal product developed by New World has a soft feel (single fineness 1d/f), a light coffee (gray) color in appearance, and has activated carbon deodorization function.

Haitian launched six series of functional fabric products at this fabric expo, including CoolDry sports and leisure series, Corntec green environmental protection series, Sunlite thermal insulation series, Hytech high-tech functional series, Merino new wool series, and Ecorona recycled fabrics. , moisture wicking, thermal insulation, antibacterial, deodorizing and other functions are widely used in sportswear, outdoor leisure clothing, underwear, uniforms, socks, knitted blankets and knitted jackets and other product fields, once again leading the new development of functional fabrics trend.

Hot spot three: Regenerated fiber

Environmental protection, as a comprehensive theme, has entered this year’s Fabric Expo strongly. Due to the large resource consumption and heavy pollution in the textile printing and dyeing industry, focusing on pollution control and implementing circular economy has become a prominent topic in the fabric industry in recent years. This was also highlighted in this expo.

The 100% recycled yarn Repreve newly displayed by Yihua Yuhui Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd. aroused high interest from industry visitors.
