The sudden COVID-19 epidemic has given people a new understanding of life and health. In the “post-epidemic era”, people are paying more and more attention to new technologies such as antibacterial and antiviral, and they are also paying more attention to textiles with such functions. Since the outbreak, textile companies have also been continuously strengthening the research and development of antibacterial and antiviral functional textiles to help consumers build an effective “protective barrier.”
From fiber to terminal application
Antibacterial fiber
Xinxiang Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd. organizes scientific researchers After solving the problem, we successfully developed super strong and efficient antibacterial regenerated cellulose fiber. The inspection report provided by the National Textile Products Quality Supervision and Inspection Center shows that the antibacterial fiber’s antibacterial rate against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans exceeds 99%, which is far higher than the antibacterial index of the national standard for antibacterial fibers. This fiber is made by adding green and highly efficient antibacterial materials to the spinning solution. The physical indicators of the fiber are the same as those of conventional fibers. The fabrics made with this fiber are resistant to washing and have long-lasting antibacterial effects.
Antibacterial fabric
Nanshan Zhishang Company has been committed to the research and development of high-end men’s clothing fabrics. Not long ago, it successfully developed a fully antibacterial wool fabric that can isolate Various viruses and bacteria. Wool fiber is a natural protein fiber and a leader among textile fibers. (NASA) In a study published by NASA, wool stood out from many materials due to its natural high breathability, anti-odor resistance, flame retardancy and natural temperature regulation, and was selected as the most suitable for astronauts in space. A medium-fitting fiber. This Nanshan Healthcare antibacterial wool fabric is woven using high-tech wool yarn processing technology. In addition to ensuring the unique advantages of wool fabric products, this fabric product can block a variety of bacteria, achieve AA-level protection through physical sterilization, and is safe for skin contact. Based on the concept of sustainability and green development, this fabric uses “green” bio-environmentally friendly antibacterial technology and is highly washable. Clothes made of it can still reach 70%~90% durability after being washed more than 20 times. Highly effective antibacterial ability.
High-end men’s fabrics developed by Nanshan Zhishang
Shandong Ruyi Woolen Garment Group actively researched new products in the face of the epidemic and launched Antibacterial protection series products include antibacterial and antibacterial fabrics and antiviral suits. Among them, silver ion and graphene antibacterial and antiviral series products have achieved customer proofing and mass production.
Antibacterial children’s clothing
MarColor, a well-known domestic children’s clothing brand (MarColor), uses EcoCos® Antaibe antibacterial fiber and has launched a series of products with Antibacterial children’s clothing. This cooperation is a new application of antibacterial fiber in the field of children’s clothing, helping children’s clothing move towards a more fashionable, environmentally friendly and safer direction. Through injection spinning technology, EcoCosy® active antibacterial substances are evenly dispersed on the surface and inside of the fiber to achieve an antibacterial effect by slowing down the survival rate of bacteria and fungi on the surface of textiles. This series of products not only ensures wearing comfort, but also has good antibacterial effect after washing. After strict professional testing, it still maintains high antibacterial effect after being washed 50 times.
Antibacterial home textile products
Affected by the epidemic, people are paying more and more attention to the impact of daily consumer products on health. Products with antibacterial and antibacterial effects will become a consumer the direction of long-term attention. Towels and other textiles are commonly used in daily life, and their health and safety have attracted more and more attention.
Vosges Towels
Safety and health have always been one of the rigid product indicators that Vosges Home Textiles pays attention to. Before the epidemic, Many products of Vosges Home Textiles use antibacterial fabrics. Some even add nano-silver antibacterial additives to the surface of the fabric fibers, so that they can effectively inhibit a variety of germs, such as Escherichia coli, Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus. According to third-party professional testing, the effective antibacterial rate can reach up to 99%. LIFECO, a brand owned by Vosges, takes antibacterial as its theme and specializes in bamboo fiber antibacterial towels. Towels are mainly made of Tianzhu fiber and bamboo-cotton blended products, which have natural antibacterial effects and can effectively inhibit E. coli, etc., with an antibacterial rate of more than 90%. After the outbreak, the company strengthened its layout of healthy antibacterial product lines and launched more products such as antibacterial latex pillows, antibacterial kits and more.
Classification of antibacterial textiles
Why can antibacterial textiles be antibacterial and antibacterial? This starts with the classification of textiles in this category. At present, antibacterial fibers can be roughly divided into two categories: natural antibacterial fibers and artificial antibacterial fibers. That is to say, some textiles have their own antibacterial functions, while other textiles are artificially endowed with antibacterial and antibacterial functions.
Natural antibacterial fiber
Some natural fibers themselves have antibacterial functions, have strong antibacterial effects and have linear macromolecular structures. Common ones include bamboo fiber, hemp fiber, chitin and chitopolymer. Sugar fiber, seaweed fiber, etc.

Since the outbreak, the patented “active oxygen capsule” technology developed by Hong Kong New River Holdings has been used in masks and textiles, which can effectively prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses. This feature will expand some new application areas for the product, especially the anti-viral textiles, anti-viral masks and medical textile markets. According to the marketing director of Xinhe Holdings, multiple experimental tests have shown that textiles treated with “active oxygen capsule” technology have obvious killing effects on a variety of viruses, both enveloped and non-enveloped viruses. “Active oxygen capsule” technology is a strong oxidant sustained-release technology that can slowly release active oxygen with high oxidizing capacity in a natural environment. This technology can embed anti-viral functions into textile fabric fibers, bringing long-lasting effects of inhibiting and killing viruses, and is resistant to washing. Since the use of this product does not require any adhesive, it will basically not affect the comfort and softness of the fabric. It is not only suitable for the medical protection field, but also for the fashion and leisure field. </p
