Recently, China's industrial anti-static textiles symposium was held in Huzhou, Zhejiang. China Industrial Textiles Association authorized Zhejiang Lantianhai Textile & Apparel Technology Co., Ltd. to set up an industrial anti-static textile R&D center in China. The guests discussed how to achieve the goal of “giving safety, health, and comfort to industrious and intelligent industrial workers” through quality-protected anti-static textiles and protective clothing.

The 18th and 18th Central Committee of the Third Plenary Session made it clear that the Chinese economy has entered an important adjustment cycle. The textile industry is an industry with a high degree of marketization. After the rapid development of more than 30 years of reform and opening up, the textile industry has taken the lead in the depth adjustment period as predicted in the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”. Gao Yong, vice president of China Textile Industry Federation, said that in the adjustment period, the development of clothing and home textiles will slow down, and this low-speed development will continue. At this stage, apparel and home textiles will more reflect the requirements of industrial upgrading and comfort, health, and fashion. Industrial textiles are an important direction for industrial restructuring during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period and will continue to grow at higher growth rates in the coming years. Last year, the consumption of industrial textile fibers exceeded 10 million tons, reaching 22% of the industry's total consumption.

"Technical textiles and industrial textiles are our direction for full development." Gao Yong said.

Anti-static textile technology has been developed for many years, and many industries are in use. Anti-static textiles have also begun to be used in everyday clothing in developed countries. China's technology has developed rapidly, and many industries have begun to apply. However, they are still unbalanced and are used in the petrochemical and electronic appliances industries, while coal and other industrial applications are not widely used. Therefore, under the conditions of relatively mature technologies, there is still a large market space for antistatic textiles to be explored.

Gao Yong believes that in the R&D process, companies like Blue Sky and Sea are willing to carry basic R&D tasks and are very beneficial to the development of the industry. Industrial textiles have developed rapidly in the past decade. This kind of development is mainly based on domestic consumption, and more depends on the endogenous power of the market to promote the development of the industry.

Due to the heavy spread of smog across the country, the development of textiles for filtration and separation was created in order to combat the hazards of PM2.5. In view of the current 10 million tons of industrial dust per year, the air pollution caused by thermal power generation and other issues, the industry is currently using the electric belt joint dust removal method, the next step is to promote electrostatic dust removal, through the filter belt textile channels for ultra-fine dust filtration .

In this regard, Li Lingshen, president of the China Industrial Textiles Industry Association, believes that anti-static textiles are of great significance to the industry as a whole and to the safety of employees.

He analyzed that for industrial textiles, upstream, it needs to integrate with the chemical fiber industry; downstream, it needs to develop into terminal products, form vertical integration, and integrate R&D into the entire industry chain. At present, more and more high-tech fibers have promoted the fibrosis of protective fabrics, and the function of fabrics incorporating various protections has become a trend. More comfort, safety and health have become the trend of future development. The development of the Blue Sky Sea has the high-end integration trend of the value chain and is worth learning from.

"Security comes from the professional." Chen Mingqing, chairman of Zhejiang Lantianhai Textile & Apparel Technology Co., Ltd., has always stressed this way.

According to relevant experts, there were major safety incidents that occurred during the operation of workers due to unqualified antistatic clothing last year. Chen Mingqing stated that after passing through the time, the failure of the unqualified fabrics caused a decrease in the electrical conductivity of the fibers and a decrease in the anti-static function. This is worthy of reflection. To this end, Blue Sky has introduced high-performance, high-stability anti-static fabrics. In this type of fabric, polyester-based conductive fibers with high lightfastness are used to enhance fabric stability.

In the absence of a professional anti-static textile R&D center, through six months of preparation, the industrial anti-static textile R&D center platform was established. Chen Mingqing said: "This is not just for the sake of business. It is more about how to serve the industry in the next step, to develop products with the fastest speed, and to protect our industrial workers in the operation."

Since 1995, Zhejiang Lantianhai Textile & Apparel Technology Co., Ltd. has been in contact with anti-static fabrics for the first time and has experienced four stages of contact, understanding, research and focus. During the long period of time, many business opportunities that are full of temptations, whether or not they continue to specialize in anti-static fabrics, have caused companies to feel lost and shaken. However, Blue Sky finally decided to focus on the research and development of anti-static safety protective fabrics. With the joint efforts of Blue Sky and Hairen, the company has been the largest and most professional supplier of anti-static safety protective fabrics for the past ten years, and has also won the society. Recognition from all walks of life. At the seminar, Blue Sky also launched a new generation of multi-functional anti-static safety protective fabrics such as polyester-based conductive fiber fabrics and heat-reducing and cooling fabrics with a new generation of “Lanxiang” that is significantly superior to nylon (nylon) fibers in lightfastness.

Yao Mu, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, put forward several suggestions for anti-static textiles: As the anti-static fabric in the future development process, we must pay attention to the development of multi-functional textiles. It is necessary to combine health, comfort and fashion on the basis of safety in order to become the direction of long-term development. Domestic production costs have entered the highest international range and it is impossible to produce low-end products. To produce high-end products, multi-functional manufacturing must be paid attention to.

In the production of protective clothing, we must also broaden our thinking. Yarn-dyed products have become the mainstream of textile products. Regardless of cotton, hemp, silk, and various chemical fibers, the coloring of liquids, dyeing of fibers, and dyeing of yarns have been expanded to span the printing and dyeing stages of ordinary cotton cloth. In this context, it is worthwhile to pay attention to the diversified textile printing and dyeing techniques of protective fabric dyeing. For example, the organic conductive chemical fiber filaments can be properly dyed.

Ren Shukui, deputy director of the China Association of Occupational Safety and Health, said that in the microelectronics, chemical, petroleum, and coal industries, anti-static electricity is an issue that needs urgent solution. The market for antistatic textiles is huge and the development prospects are bright. At the same time, however, it is necessary to increase awareness of the use of safety protective clothing, to make stakeholders aware of the importance of protective clothing, to improve the standards and regulations adopted for protective technical textiles, and to guide from the industrial terminal.
