Protection products have great potential

At the 2009 Frankfurt International Industrial Textiles and Nonwovens Fair, the theme was industrial textiles for security, industrial, medical, and environmental protection. From a large number of protective fibers, fabrics and products that are exhibited, it can be seen that the market demand for safety-protective textiles has increased substantially, and the development potential is huge. Safety protective textiles are mainly used for cutting, abrasion, ballistics, impact, dust, gas and chemicals, nuclear, biological, chemical, fire and heat, bad weather, extreme cold, static electricity and other protections, generally using high-strength polyester , polyamide, polypropylene, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and other high-tech fibers developed from the textile.

At present, in some developed countries in Europe and the United States, there are strict regulations for the preparation of fireproof gloves, fire masks, and the use of fireproof and flame retardant materials in public places. According to surveys of fires in Europe and the United States, fire caused by textiles accounted for half of the total. Therefore, it is very common for fireproof fabrics to be used in sofa fabrics, curtain fabrics, tablecloths, carpets, curtains, and articles for use. In addition, it is estimated that the sales of overalls in the world alone will reach more than US$7 billion, of which 50% in Europe, mainly because the EU has strict safety regulations for industry, agroforestry, and service industries, emphasizing high standards of health and safety. Stimulated a substantial increase in the market share of overalls. The United States, Britain, and other countries have established flame-retardant standards for textiles used in public places such as hospitals, schools, and restaurants, and even mandatory regulations for household indoor textiles such as bed sheets, pajamas, curtains, and children's clothing should be made with flame-retardant fabrics that are qualified for inspection; in Japan, In addition to the use of fireproof products for curtains and carpets that specify public facilities, the Fire Services Department and local governments have also proposed that the use of fire-proof bedding to protect people's home safety has become inevitable as the ageing society comes. As companies pay more attention to the public image and pay attention to employees' self health and safety protection, the market's demand for safety protection textiles is increasing, and the annual growth rate of the market is maintained at more than 10%.

    From the perspective of product type and performance, Chinese companies already have strong strength and level in the development and production of industrial textiles. Beijing Integra Technology Co., Ltd. has achieved a lot in this exhibition. Not only has it continued to maintain a good supply relationship with large customers in Europe and the United States, it has also reached a long-term in-depth cooperation agreement with Germany's largest manufacturer of protective clothing. Intermale chose DuPont, 3M, Gore, PANOX, Kermel, Kaiguang, and other new high-temperature resistant materials for composite processing to process high-performance fibers into fabrics and garments as the main materials for fire fighting equipment. The products are not only flame-retardant, but also It does not melt, heat insulation, aging, and anti-static, chemical corrosion, water and oil resistance, the main performance exceeds the standards promulgated by the Chinese Ministry of Public Security, reached the international advanced standards such as EN and NFPA.

Yantai Spandex Co., Ltd. exhibited Newcastle meta-aramid, which has good physical and mechanical properties and has a wide range of uses in electrical insulating paper, high-temperature filter materials, protective clothing, and honeycomb structure materials. The Yarn Aramid and other industrial yarns of Dezhou Huayuan Eco-Tech Co., Ltd. have attracted the attention of many merchants. Shaanxi Yuanfeng Textile Technology Research Co., Ltd. is divided into eight series of 48 kinds of products showing fire service fabric series, anti-arc series fabrics, anti-melt metal splash series fabrics and 14 sets of various occupational protective clothing. In addition, the company's exhibited aramid/PTFE self-lubricating fabrics and aramid/PTFE self-lubricating shock absorbing bearing fabric specially developed for aerospace are highly favored by customers.

The 7-meter ultra-wide spunbonded non-woven geotextile materials exhibited by Guangdong Sleop New Material Co., Ltd. are at the advanced level both at home and abroad; Zhejiang Haining Jinda, Xingyi Da, Hailid, Beijing Jiatai and Shanghai Kebao, etc. Companies have demonstrated new coating materials that can be used in architectural fabrics, truck tarpaulins, tent fabrics, inflatable materials, pool cloths, advertising inkjet materials, and mesh fabrics. Companies such as Changzhou Hongfa, Shandong Taipeng, Hangzhou Shenlian, Shanghai Fengfeng, and Foshan Ruixin have also made brilliant appearances in high-performance composite materials, geotextiles, protective materials, and packaging materials.
