Recently, the China Health Functional Textiles Annual Conference was held in Hanchuan, Hubei Province, and a new fiber material-chitosan fiber non-woven fabric was officially released.
Professor Ma Jianwei of Qingdao University, an expert in the research and development of non-woven fabrics, introduced in an interview that chitosan is a polymer substance obtained by chemical treatment of chitin. It is mainly derived from shrimp shells and crab shells. It is the second largest polymer in the world. The second largest biological resource of plant fiber, it can be naturally degraded and will not cause pollution to the environment. Chitosan fiber is not only “light, thin and transparent” like mulberry silk, but also has good antibacterial and chelating adsorption properties. It has wide application prospects in the fields of facial masks, diapers, sanitary napkins and panty liners.
According to reports, most of the base fabrics required for the production of high-end facial masks in China use 384 silk mask paper produced by Japanese companies, resulting in a market that is in short supply and the manufacturers continue to raise raw material prices by leveraging their monopoly position.
The above-mentioned chitosan fiber extracted from the hard shells of shrimps and crabs has overcome technical difficulties and begun industrial mass production. The application of this new technology is expected to break the long-term dependence on imports of high-end raw materials for domestic health functional textiles.
Data from the “China Health Products Industry Development Blue Book” show that by 2015, the output value of the health functional textile industry is expected to reach 100 billion yuan, and the traditional textile industry will gradually be adjusted and transformed into an industry with high added value and core competitiveness.
At the expert seminar on health functional textiles, participating experts agreed that the health functional textile industry has become an emerging composite sunrise industry with huge development potential. Especially in this round of economic transformation and structural adjustment, whoever masters the core rapid development will gained market dominance.
