As people’s living standards continue to improve, consumers are increasingly pursuing the concepts of green environmental protection and sustainable development. In the post-epidemic era, the concepts of health, green environmental protection, and sustainable development have become the core concepts of the textile and clothing industry. new trendsetter. The same is true for the transmission to the upstream, starting from fiber, to spinning, weaving, dyeing and finishing. In 2020, the trend of sustainable development throughout the entire cotton textile process will become more prominent, whether it is front-end fiber research and development or back-end weaving. Cloth dyeing practices the concepts of green, environmental protection and health to meet the needs of the end market.
Start a better life from the fiber end
Fiber is the basis of “clothing”. The application of functional, green and environmentally friendly fibers can better provide The textile and clothing industry has laid a healthy foundation and opened up a healthy life for the public. In recent years, more and more chemical fiber companies and spinning companies have joined forces to jointly make sustainable textiles bigger and stronger, as is the case with Sateri Group and its downstream customers.
Sateri is one of the leaders in the global cellulose fiber industry. The EcoCosy Antaib fiber released last year uses injection spinning technology to evenly disperse active antibacterial substances on the surface and inside of the fiber. Microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and viruses have inhibitory effects. The person in charge of the product said: “Due to the use of pre-spun injection technology, the active antibacterial substances are more evenly distributed, resulting in excellent antibacterial performance and longer lasting, and the excellent antibacterial effect is still maintained after 50 washes. Antaibe fiber also It is beneficial to reduce body odor (such as sweat odor), effectively eliminate odor, and has good gas adsorption. After multiple washings, the antibacterial and deodorizing effect is still obvious. In addition, Antaibei fiber is derived from 100% high-purity dissolved wood pulp and has high quality Stable, because of its fiber molecular structure, it has natural skin-friendly properties. In addition, under the same spinning conditions, yarns containing EcoCosy Antaba fiber have better spinnability indicators such as strength, defects and hairiness. At the same time, the yarn The high strength of the thread brings higher fabric bursting force. The color fastness of the fabric reaches level 4-5, and the dyeing consistency is high.”
In addition to Antaibe fiber, Sadaer fiber was launched earlier Plain fiber products are also popular in the market. The raw material of Sadaer cellulose fiber comes from natural wood. It is an environmentally friendly and traceable green fiber produced through process and technological innovation. The waste can be naturally degraded and has no pollution to the environment. As a long-term partner of Saderi, Xinhuayuan Group jointly developed Sadear cellulose fiber series yarns. Through technical optimization and process innovation, it has developed pure and blended Siro compact spinning yarns of 50 to 120 counts. product. In addition to the advantages of being green and environmentally friendly, the yarn has a soft, smooth texture, moderate color, good fabric feel, the strength and toughness of synthetic fibers, and good spinability, giving the fabric good shape and dimensional stability. At present, Sadear cellulose fiber series yarns have been successfully applied to knitted, woven and warp knitted products. Chen Wen, President of Xinhuayuan, said that Xinhuayuan has always worked with Sateri to innovate products and implement the concept of green environmental protection and sustainability into products.

Innovate energy-saving technologies and practice green production
In recent years, textile companies have not only attached great importance to product research and development, but also paid more and more attention to the innovation and optimization of processes, especially for those with For textile companies in the dyeing and finishing process, there is still a long way to go to innovate energy-saving technologies and achieve green and environmentally friendly production throughout the process.
Kaiping Benda Textile Co., Ltd. is a textile enterprise integrating spinning, weaving, dyeing and finishing, and printing. Recently, three technologies used by its innovative research and development were selected into the “Catalogue of Energy Saving and Emission Reduction Technologies and Innovative Applications in China’s Cotton Textile Industry” issued by the China Cotton Textile Industry Association.
Different from conventional dyeing methods for colored denim fabrics, Kaiping Benda Textile Co., Ltd. innovatively developed waterless dyeing and environmentally friendly colored denim fabrics. Traditional dyeing consumes a lot of water, electricity, steam and has incomplete chromatography and color. The warp yarns are dyed using a new technology of paint spray dyeing. The dyeing process does not require strong corrosive additives such as water and alkali sulfide, and there is zero emission after dyeing. The new technology performs special pre-treatment on the white warp yarn, increasing the coloring efficiency by more than 15%, adding a rubbing fastness enhancer, and improving the dry and wet rubbing fastness.
Kaiping Benda Textile Co., Ltd. has optimized the corduroy boiling and bleaching process, scientifically reducing a steaming process and a washing process in the original process. The process is efficient and short, and can not only meet customer requirements, but also It can reduce the consumption of water, electricity, steam energy and manpower. After the transformation, the energy saving rate is about 20% and the emission reduction rate is about 10%.
With the increase in small batches and multi-variety orders, the difficulty of dyeing processing has also increased. In order to reduce processing costs, Kaiping Benda Textile Co., Ltd. has carried out process innovation and developed a shaping machine with two dips and one padding. technology, adding a padding tank to the original padding tank of the shaping machine, so that the fabric can be padded twice before shaping, thereby improving the color fastness and other properties of the fabric, so that a piece of fabric does not need to be padded twice. The required effect can be achieved in just one shaping machine processing, which greatly saves power consumption, labor and time, ensures the quality of the cloth surface, and improves the product quality. After the transformation, the energy saving and emission reduction rate is about 50%, and the investment payback period is about half a year.
