Expert Interpretation: How To Make The Textile Industry Continue To Maintain Rapid Growth?

Do you believe that in the next 40 years, at least half of the world's machinery is not made of steel and metal, but made of various kinds of fiber reinforced composites. It belongs to the category of industrial textiles.

Yao Mu, academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering, thinks so. In recent years, China's industrial textiles industry has made rapid progress. Many industry experts have great expectations for the development of industrial textiles, and how to maintain rapid growth, the suggestions they put forward are worth thinking about by enterprises.

Upgrading varieties and quality

In recent years, the proportion of filter textiles in industrial textiles has been increasing, which has contributed to the improvement of China's environmental quality. This is inseparable from the development of new high-performance fibers. A number of high-performance fibers with independent intellectual property rights have been developed in China. Aramid fiber Polyphenylene sulfide, polytetrafluoroethylene, glass fiber, basalt It has formed a certain scale of industrialization. It provides a foundation for high performance filter materials and meets certain market demands. For example, high performance filter materials have played an important role in the treatment of high temperature soot such as coal-fired power plants, cement plants and waste incineration plants. A large number of film products have appeared successively, providing high-quality materials for water filtration. Currently, polytetrafluoroethylene hollow fiber membrane, which occupies a large market share, has been widely used in water purification, sewage treatment and other fields.

However, the filtration of raw materials is far from meeting the needs of China's industry. Zhejiang Sci-Tech University researcher Guo Yuhai said, on the one hand, the performance of the existing raw materials can not match the similar products abroad, resulting in defects in the performance of the final filter products; on the other hand, many varieties of raw materials can not be industrialized, such as polyimide fibers needed for air filtration materials, polytetrafluoroethylene hollow fiber membranes needed for water filtration materials, and so on.

Guo Yuhai said that filtration of textiles should be done through raw materials and processing. Technology And other technological advances, improve the quality and function of the existing filter textiles, and constantly meet the market's requirements for the technical specifications of the products. It is also necessary to expand the application scope of filter materials to other filtration fields, such as filtration and recycling of petroleum catalysts, brine refining in chlor alkali industry, membrane bioreactor for domestic sewage treatment, etc. This requires the development of suitable filtration materials according to the actual use requirements and environment. Some new applications only need to be improved and optimized on the basis of processing technology and raw material varieties.

Breaking through ideological constraints

Yao Lao often runs in industry meetings and enterprises. He talks much about not only the achievements of the industry, but also the reminder of problems and shortcomings.

He said that the development of the industrial textiles industry is still constrained by some ideas. First, the most important part of industrial textiles is not from nonwoven, but also woven, warp knitted, weft knitted and braided, especially in many ways. Second, the concept of industrial textiles has vague elements. According to international practice, for example, some products that are currently classified as "sanitary", such as napkins, bedding, bedding, paper products, baby products, wiping products, toilet paper, etc., are traditionally household textiles but not industrial textiles. Third, the emphasis of industrial textiles is reinforced materials and environmental protection materials used in manufacturing and construction, spanportation, agriculture, forestry, fisheries and medical industries. Looking forward to 40 years later, at least half of the global machine is not made of steel and metal, but made of fiber reinforced composites.

Yao Yao language center of gravity long to say, the industry textile industry and enterprises focus on jumping out of the limitations of the original ideas and understanding, and better understand that industrial textiles are not final products, but one of the various raw materials used by other industries, or even primary materials. Industrial textiles must be combined with other materials, and after complex processing, the final product can be formed. Therefore, the current emphasis is to "play the supporting role", cooperate with other industries to develop and develop the final products, promote the use and occupy the market.

Combination of production, teaching and research

It is not easy to popularize and occupy the market. Yao Lao warned the industry and enterprises to establish long-term preparations for hard struggle. The history of the application research and development of international industrial textiles in the post road shows that: generally, the complete industrial chain of a final product is formed and realized industrialization, most of which have gone through 30 years of arduous journey. Moreover, the application fields of industrial textiles are various, complex and different; the varieties of the same use are more, the requirements are more complicated and the differences are even greater; meanwhile, the performance requirements of industrial textiles are different, the performance testing methods and instruments, standards are different, and the processing of the rear way production chain is long and the process is many, so the research and development is difficult, the cycle is long, the examination is frequent, and the procedures are many. If it is medical textiles, but also through long-term human compatibility assessment, it is more difficult.

Therefore, the industry textile industry must focus on strengthening the links with various industries and creating a combination of environment and conditions. This combination is not the combination of production, learning and research in the traditional concept, but the combination of final product design, manufacturing industry and industrial textile industry. And the manufacturing industry of the final product should be the main industry, and the industry should be guided by the requirements of the final product, combining production, learning, research and application.

Many industry experts believe that the current economic environment provides a good opportunity for the development of industrial textiles, and will certainly promote industrial textiles to become a new growth point in the textile industry. Now, for industrial textiles, the exchange and sharing of new technologies, markets, production and other information become particularly important and crucial. The 2010 China International Industrial Textiles and nonwovens exhibition, which will be held in Shanghai in October, provides an exchange platform for the production, learning, research and application of production enterprises, tertiary institutions and downstream application industries, and plays a very good role as a bridge.

Through this platform, we can understand each other and share upstream and downstream information, which can effectively promote the development of the whole industry.
