New Member Of The Fabric Family - High-Density Pure Ramie

along with Ramie fabric It is popular among clothing brands, and ramie fabric has gradually been used in the decoration field. In recent years, pure ramie decorative fabric has also been used in the seat backrest of Shinkansen high-speed railway in Japan.

Due to the high washing frequency of decorative fabric for high-speed railway seat backrest, the product is required to have high washing times and good abrasion resistance. In order to meet the quality requirements of products, the longitude and latitude values of ramie products will greatly exceed those of ordinary clothing fabrics, which will be a great challenge for the smooth production of ramie fabrics. In order to overcome these technical problems, a high-quality and high-density pure ramie decorative fabric came into being.

　　 Industry university research cooperation to overcome technical problems

Ramie fabric has many advantages. Hemp clothing has appeared since ancient times and became the most important textile in the life of ordinary people at that time. However, due to the outdated ramie production technology and equipment and the impact of other emerging textiles, ramie and even the whole ramie textile products have a declining trend.

In recent years, with the increase of consumers' awareness of green consumption and healthy consumption, ramie products have become the first choice for car owners to decorate car seat backrests due to their high fiber strength, soft luster, antibacterial, and odor removal characteristics. With the progress of science and technology, the ramie fabric that is softer, more comfortable, cooler and wrinkle resistant has also broadened the use range of the original ramie products.

However, there is no denying that ramie fabric accounts for a small proportion in today's daily textiles, one of the reasons is that there are some defects in ramie fabric itself.

"Due to the high rigidity, uneven fineness and poor spinnability of ramie fiber, the yarn evenness is uneven, the yarn surface hairiness is high, and the warp opening in the manufacturing process causes hairiness adhesion, increased breakage, and the production cannot be carried out smoothly. All these have brought many difficulties to ramie spinning. Therefore, the warp and weft density of conventional ramie fabric is far less than that of products woven from other materials. To increase the warp and weft density of ramie fabric, the problem of yarn hairiness must be solved first. " A staff member of Hunan Huasheng Zhuzhou Cedar Co., Ltd. said.

It is understood that Zhuzhou Cedar is the producer of high-density pure ramie decorative fabrics. In order to develop high-density pure ramie Decorative fabric The development team of Zhuzhou Cedar has changed the traditional way of ramie spinning to meet the requirements of seat back for ramie decorative fabric.

According to the official introduction of Zhuzhou Cedar, the research and development of high-density pure ramie decorative fabric mainly carried out four technical innovations: first, the selection criteria of raw materials for high-density pure ramie decorative fabric were optimized and formulated. 2、 The process parameters of spinning high-quality, smooth and pure ramie were optimized; Thirdly, the special sizing process that meets the weaving requirements of high-density pure ramie decorative fabric is formulated; Fourthly, the internal control standards of enterprises that meet the quality requirements of high-density pure ramie decorative fabrics have been formulated.

"In the development process of high-density pure ramie decorative fabric, the enterprise has applied the SEG spinning technology, effectively reducing yarn hairiness, and adopted the independently innovated patented technology" A Weaving Warp Spindle Reversing and Splitting Device " The production process is smoothly implemented, the product quality is effectively controlled, the production problem of high-density pure ramie fabric is solved, and the technical bottleneck of the ramie textile industry is overcome. " Zhuzhou cedar researchers said.

It is understood that in order to carry out research and development and market promotion of ramie products, Zhuzhou Cedar has established scientific research cooperation relations with Donghua University, Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology, Wuhan Textile University and other universities.

"Through the combination of production, teaching and research, we have participated in some national scientific research support programs, such as the 'Research on Ramie Textile Printing and Dyeing Deep Processing Technology' project. Through these studies, the enterprise has carried out research on the problems existing in the production and use of ramie, such as reducing yarn surface hairiness, improving spinning quality and manufacturing technology of high-quality ramie knitted fabrics. Through physical and chemical finishing, the enterprise has carried out technical breakthroughs in improving the itch of ramie fabrics and formaldehyde free anti wrinkle finishing of ramie fabrics. These scientific research experiences have become a powerful guarantee for us to successfully develop high-density pure ramie decorative fabrics. " Zhuzhou cedar researchers said.

　　 Innovative marketing and economic benefits

"In terms of sales, before the financial crisis, there was more foreign trade. In recent years, the foreign trade sector affected by the financial crisis began to decline and the proportion of domestic market began to increase." The staff of Zhuzhou Cedar said.

Coastal cities such as Suzhou, Shanghai, Zhejiang and Guangzhou are traditional garment processing bases and places with relatively active economy and trade. The main customers of high-density pure ramie decorative fabrics are generally distributed in these areas.

It is understood that in the next few years, in order to consolidate old customers, develop new customers, and develop the domestic trade market, Zhuzhou Cedar has developed a new set of personalized marketing strategies: first, for new products that customers jointly participate in the development, implement point-to-point sales, the two sides signed a cooperation agreement, promising not to sell to other customers in the current season, to achieve joint development, mutual benefit and win-win results; Second, for independently developed new varieties, when the order volume is large, the balance between mass production and small batch production is achieved by splitting business, and a confidentiality agreement is signed with the outsourcing processing unit. It is strictly prohibited to sell the products of cedar enterprises. At the same time, intellectual property rights are protected through patent applications; Third, for new products that customers want to distribute independently, both parties will also sign corresponding marketing contracts to ensure the realization of the interests of both parties.

With the further improvement of the process, technology and quality of high-density pure ramie decorative fabric products, the product quality has steadily improved, and the order volume has increased year by year. The output of a single product has increased from 6300 meters in 2009 to 80000 meters in 2014, and the price has also increased from 4.2 dollars per meter to 5.4 dollars per meter, steadily occupying the market.

　　 Ramie can also change its appearance by adjusting its thinking

"In today's highly developed network information, the traditional textile industry has encountered unprecedented challenges under the orders of market differentiation, personalization, fashion and small batch diversification, and some enterprises have disappeared because they cannot adapt to this change. Therefore, the high-density pure ramie decorative fabric we produce has made a lot of efforts in fashion and differentiation besides highlighting its functionality, in order to meet the needs of different garment enterprises for fabrics. " The staff of Zhuzhou Cedar said.

According to the staff member, in order to better meet the demand of downstream enterprises for fabrics, Zhuzhou Cedar will invite downstream garment enterprises to participate in the development of fabrics, and present some characteristics that textile products hope to show in the initial design of fabrics.

In recent years, ramie textile clothing has become popular again, represented by the minimalist style of Muji, and ramie textile has become one of the necessities of literary and artistic youth's wardrobe. Not only in China, ramie products are also popular among high-end fashion consumers in developed countries. At present, this kind of ramie fashion consumption is gradually moving eastward, especially in South Korea and Japan. Last year, Guangyuan only exported ramie fabrics to South Korea for 15 million dollars. Hunan is the hometown of ramie and the main production area of ramie in China. There are great prospects for developing ramie characteristic industries.

According to the staff of Zhuzhou Cedar, ramie textile belongs to the minority in the textile industry, while ramie textile is the minority in the minority. Ramie enterprises must take a high-end line to develop, improve the added value of products, and work hard on both functionality and fashion.

"Now many upstream textile enterprises are talking about building their own Fabric brand Zhuzhou Cedar also has the same idea, hoping to take the high-density pure ramie decorative fabric as a starting point, to produce more well-known fiber fabric products in the future, and create a well-known fiber brand like "Leica". " Zhuzhou Cedar staff said.
