SUSTAINABLE DYING - cone yarn dying
This is currently a global leading technology. It performs much better in term of energy-saving. Comparing to the traditional cone dyeing method Water saving as well. It can achieve water saving by 70%, It saves manpower by 80%. Some steps are even free from manual work. Of course it involves workers, but very few - labour efficiency, water and energy-saving features. But the biggest benefit is that it can improve the first-time pass rate. The average pass rate is 80%, Of course it is still very traditional. At present, the one-time pass rate of traditional factories, Is only up to 75 %.Only competitive businesses can make it to 80%, right. The energy-saving is also around 56% therefore achieving green production- Both energy conservation and emission reduction and high labour efficiency - clean production.
NEW MATERIALS
Locell fiber is a new form of fiber production invented by the Europeans. It has a huge advantage, it outperforms traditional viscose. It could be sourced from various materials, not limited to cotton. There are abundant cellulosic fibers from the nature, Like wood or bamboo. Many of the traditional viscose use cotton linter pulp as raw material.As its raw material base is broadened, as compared with traditional cotton this brings it exceptional advantage. Second, in the manufacturing process, organic solvent is used. Traditional viscose could be recyclable. while the lengthy production process leads to serious pollution problems. Since organic solvent is used, it would not exert any impact on the environment.No impact.Third, the outstanding properties of locell are unparalleled by ordinary fibers. Ordinary ones lack tensile strength leading to poorer quality of clothing.maybe believe locell's tensile strength outperforms viscose.China has made rapid advances in this aspect.in particular the technological advancement and innovation of CTA, yet it still needs to work harder to lower the production costs and to enhance the uniformity and stabilityof the fiber produced
It's highly likely that Locell it is going to replace the use of cotton to a great extent. Growing cotton is a comparatively lengthy process. Irrigation and the use of pesticides create extra problems to the process. Locell fiber enables industrial mass production. It has great advantages over cotton cultivation. So far, there exists two kinds of locell fibers. These two have to be treated differently in dyeing and spinning. Locell's dye properties are not as good as normal viscose. Its specifity has to be enhanced along with downstream dyeing and product development. Though locell's properties are outstanding, there is plenty room for improvement to enhance subsequent processing.
Cashmere stands out from all natural fibre. Its yield is low, with unparalleled properties. in regards to polyester fibre and Lyocell fibre.These fibres enable industrial mass production. Their properties could be controlled manually with capacity for mass production.That's why they are highly competitive. Yet, the production of synthetic fibres comes along with pollution problems. After discarding，used polyester might be non-degradable. That's a problem. During production and processing, it brings less environmental issues. For example, polyester is hard to dye. Disperse dyeing would be used while the dye exhaustion rate is higher And the fastness is better. Typical natural fibres are cotton, wool and cashmere. Processing natural fibres give rise to less environmental issues. Take cotton as an example. It needs intensified scouring and bleaching.In case the dyeing exhaustion rate is low, large volume of sewage would be resulted. Relatively more salt would be used. Natural fibre is superior in many aspects. It's natural. It's degradable. Yet, it still has its own manufacturing issues when compared with synthetic fibres. What's valuable about cashmere is its properties which is unparalleled to synthetic fibres. It is soft with thermal resistance and skin-friendly. Then cashmere fibre, As you mentioned, 90% of cashmere are produced in China. Yet, China doesn't produce much value-added fabrics.
processing, in particular the spinning of the fibre, in particular those short fibres with uneven length. Such short fibres lack quality tensile strength. The major shortcoming of natural fibre is a lack of tensile strength. The length, appearance，and dimension of synthetic fibre far outperforms those of the natural ones. Yet, the softness and skin-friendliness of fabrics made of natural fibre are way better than the synthetic ones. A product made of natural fibres hence carries greater values.
Cashmere can be spun to 200 or 300 count, sometimes combining it with other threads. for example mulberry silk, thus emulating the lustre and handle of mulberry silk and the softness and skin-friendly of cashmere. Glossy, with properties of mulberry silk. compared with normal wool, it's skin-friendly，softer，and more comfortable
