With the overall improvement of economic and material living standards, "clothing", which ranks first in "clothing, food, housing and transportation", is also quietly changing. When textile meets scientific and technological innovation, more possibilities have been realized in the field of clothing. In Changshan County, Zhejiang, Zhejiang Yuntai Textile Co., Ltd., which has been specializing in 30 years, has not stopped the pace of scientific and technological research and development, bringing a large number of innovative innovation achievements to enterprises and even the entire industry.
In the enterprise product exhibition hall, there are many ready-to-wear exhibits, which look like ordinary home clothes, but the fabrics are "very knowledgeable", because of the use of cool "black technology", home clothes are cooler, hygroscopic and quick-drying.
In the summer, there are many cooling products on the market. Ye Xiaozhong, an engineer of Yuntai Textile, said that most of the products on the market are based on polyester fabrics, and Yuntai uses pure cotton fabrics, which requires modification of cotton fibers. While retaining the excellent moisture absorption of natural fibers, it can also realize the function of quick drying and cooling of clothes. "It's not easy. The cross-section of polyester is a cross structure, which makes it have some grooves on the surface, which can achieve the performance of cool moisture absorption and quick drying. The fabric of our product is pure cotton, and the fiber structure has been determined when the cotton grows, so to make it have a cool and quick-drying effect, it needs to have special technology and scientific and technological means to change the fiber structure. According to the national standard, the cooling coefficient should be greater than or equal to 0.15, and the cooling coefficient of this product has reached 0.23, and it is very difficult for pure cotton to achieve more than 0.2 in the industry, so we are far ahead in this regard. Ye Xiaozhong said.
Innovation brings confidence to grasp orders. A steady stream of orders has come one after another, and well-known brands such as Hongdou Home have reached stable cooperation with enterprises. In addition to "cool summer", Yuntai Textile is also making a fuss about "warm winter" and has also carried out technological innovation on fabrics. At present, although it has just passed the beginning of summer, the company's production line is busy producing non-stop to supply fabrics for the brand UNIQLO's winter warm clothes.
In addition, Yuntai Textile also actively carries out industry-university-research cooperation, and cooperates with top textile colleges and universities Donghua University and Zhejiang Sci-Tech University to carry out new technical breakthroughs, develop more scientific research projects and produce more scientific research results. "This project is mainly flame retardant. A nano-scale composite material is put into the raw material at the front end of the wire drawing, and then made into the raw material after wire drawing, and then spun into yarn and then made into cloth to form a flame retardant effect. Zeng Xiangsong, general manager of the company, introduced. Flame retardant fabrics are not only widely used in everyday clothing and functional uniforms, but also bring a "sense of security" to the elderly group and bring more choices to the individual needs of customers.
Yuntai Textile is a national high-tech enterprise integrating R&D, production and sales of mixed color yarns, fabrics and clothing, and has a provincial postdoctoral workstation and a provincial doctoral innovation station. Over the past 30 years, the company's color spinning process has been leading the industry, but it has not stopped on the road of technological innovation. From production lines to products, from raw materials to garments, the company has carried out integrated innovation in the whole industry chain, unlocking more than 60 functional features such as wear-resistant, anti-pilling, cooling, hygroscopic, antibacterial, deodorant, warm-keeping, and anti-ultraviolet. "Our annual R&D investment is more than 10 million yuan, and there are 51 R&D personnel, including 4 postdoctoral fellows. By increasing R&D investment and the introduction of achievements, the company has 18 provincial new products, 3 of which are provincial key technological innovation products, and 4 products have passed the Zhejiang manufacturing certification. Ji Shanqun, deputy general manager of the company, said.
Move towards the new and outsmart the future. Enabled by scientific and technological innovation, in 2024, the company will usher in new development opportunities, and it is expected to achieve sales revenue of 300 million yuan this year. "In the later stage, we will increase investment in clothing and fabrics, especially focusing on the research and development of clothing fabric styles and structures." Zeng Xiangsong said that the company will take advantage of the situation to make efforts to do a good job in the construction of the whole industrial chain, and strive to build "Yuntai" into a well-known brand, so that "Yuntai" to the world.
