Still Holding The Pipa: Cellulose Acetate Has Become The New Favorite Of The Clothing Industry.

< a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp > > acetate fiber < /a > also known as cellulose acetate, namely cellulose acetate. It is a regenerated fiber made from acetic acid and cellulose by esterification reaction. For a long time, cellulose acetate has been widely used as a raw material for cigarette filters and clothing. Even in the 70s of last century, the main uses of acetate fibers were limited to blending with real silk to increase fabric strength and reduce costs. 
 now, acetate fiber is used to blend with natural fibers, synthetic or synthetic yarns, and produces countless woven and knitted fabrics. At the same time, acetate fiber fabric has also been widely used in making advanced evening dress, casual wear, pajamas, underwear, wedding dresses and so on. Because of the soft, slippery and elastic feel of cellulose acetate textiles, and the fiber characteristics such as good permeability, fast drying, no electrostatic adsorption and strong coloring, it has begun to be more and more popular among consumers. 
 innovation and widening the use area 
 at present, the output of cellulose acetate accounts for about 3% of the total output of the world's chemical fiber, accounting for about 35% of the total output of cellulose fiber. 
 of which, about 3/4 of the acetate fibers are used to make cigarette filters, and the remaining 1/4 are used in the textile and garment industry. China's acetate fiber industry started late, and has long been used to produce cellulose acetate tow for cigarette use. Therefore, the research and production of acetate fibers in textile industry has not received enough attention in China for a long time. Therefore, in the past quite long time, China's textile acetate filament and staple fiber all need to rely on imports. 
 it is understood that after the reform and opening up, due to foreign technology blockade and equipment Monopoly, the construction of cellulose acetate production line in China's fiber industry has suffered from huge investment and long recovery period. Therefore, a lot of fiber production enterprises "retreat" and shift the focus of development to other textile fibers, such as viscose fiber development and production. 
 however, it is worth our attention that at present, the developed countries such as Europe and America have basically stopped or even closed the production plant of viscose fiber. The main reason is that the energy consumption in viscose fiber production process is huge, and the pollution problem caused by the environment is difficult to solve. Compared with the production of cellulose acetate, the production of viscose fiber is 30 times the water consumption per ton, and its power consumption is about 3 times that of its production. Therefore, Europe and the United States and other countries still retain the production capacity of cellulose acetate. 
"P", we can see the charming figure of men's and women's models in various fashion week and fashion show held around the world. Without exception, they often unbutton the buttons of their clothes in the process of performing and show their materials to the audience. In fact, this is not arbitrary, but clothing manufacturers deliberately arranged. In the gentleman culture prevailing in Europe and America, similar to this kind of casual display of high-end, atmospheric and high-grade materials is called "no trace of elegance". In fact, this is also implying that the clothing of our customers is so perfect that the overall quality of their clothing is naturally self-evident. 
 look at the current international famous clothing < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/business/" > brand product < /a >, it can be said that almost all of them use acetate fiber fabric as lining. 
 the main reason is that some fibers of acetate fiber are very close to silk. Its fabric also has the brightness and luster of silk fabrics, and has the same draping and smooth feel. However, the price of acetate fabric is much lower than that of silk fabric. In garment enterprises, the use of fabrics that are not very important in lining and clothing is a suitable choice. Therefore, both the international and domestic use of acetate and its textile fabrics start from the lining of garments. 
 however, with the increasing demand of consumers for quality of life and the increase of domestic acetate fiber production, it is an unavoidable problem for the textile and garment acetate fiber industry to bring forth new ideas and develop new applications. Because the cost and price of acetate fiber are higher than those of viscose fiber which has been widely applied in the clothing industry, the field of senior dress, formal dress and other fields has become the main direction of the development of China's acetate fiber industry. 
 my first contact with acetate fiber fabric originated from an online shopping experience at the beginning of the year. At that time, a wedding dress on a Taobao online shop looked good. However, it was priced at 888 yuan at that time. Compared to other online shops selling wedding dresses and gowns, the price of this wedding dress is relatively high. With a hint of curiosity, I tried to chat with the online customer service. 
"P >" after listening to the customer service "Wang Po selling melon" like the introduction of the completion of their wedding dress how to do well, how to use the excipient how to wait for the following, I propose that the price of its wedding products is high, higher than the products of similar stores. Later, the customer service told him that the wedding dress with the same style and color was only 388 yuan, but the fabric was different. According to it, the wedding price of 888 yuan is 100% acetate fiber fabric, and the wedding dress priced at 388 yuan is made of polyester and other fiber blended fabrics. 
 in fact, from a psychological point of view, ordinary consumers like to buy expensive dress such as wedding dress, more or less will have a "buy expensive" mentality. Because the wedding dress is worn back once, so it can only be put into the wardrobe as a memory. Therefore, the majority of consumers will not pay much attention to their fabric and quality. More attention is paid to the color, style and upper body effect of wedding dresses. Without knowing the excellent fiber properties of acetate fiber fabrics, the author did not buy a wedding dress of acetate fiber fabric without being tempted. 
 to be practical and realistic, after the wedding dress of the acetate fiber fabric has been handed, whether it is impressions or feel is quite good. 
 before the wedding photo was taken, it was also close to the wedding dress provided by the studio. It may be due to cost considerations. The wedding dress of the studio is not only dirty, but also its fabric looks and feels like it is a poor stall. And the silk like fabric of the acetate fiber fabric wedding dress gives light to the wearer on the wedding day. 
 there is no doubt that the use of acetate fiber and acetate fiber blended with other fibers in high-grade dress and formal dress can not only meet the requirements of such clothing products themselves, but also reduce the cost of clothing products compared with natural silk fabrics such as silk. In addition, this kind of development has broadened the application scope of acetate fiber fabrics directly, and laid a solid foundation for the development of acetate and fiber industry in textile industry in the future. It is understood that the application of acetate fiber fabric is still actively developing toward neckties, embroidery crafts and children clothing. 
 develop strengths and circumvent weaknesses and develop blending process 
 when it comes to the blending of textile fabrics, the author has been asked by consumers who are "unaware of the truth" for several times: "why do we want to blend the fabric of fabrics?" in fact, this problem has happened in the one hundred thousand reading of children. In short, the main purpose of textile fabric blending is to foster strengths and circumvent weaknesses, to coexist with advantages, to develop the strengths of different fibers and minimize defects. So as to achieve functional complementarity between different fibers, further enhance the spinnability of fabrics, and reduce the cost of fabrics at the same time. 
 practically speaking, the biggest drawback of cellulose acetate itself is that its fiber strength is low, and it is easy to break. In order to overcome the problem of acetate fiber, textile enterprises usually blend their fabrics when they are producing fabrics. It is understood that acetate fiber as a new type of fiber raw materials in the application, China's textile enterprises have developed a variety of textile fiber and acetate fiber blended and interwoven products, such as its differential polyester, real silk, wool, cashmere and nylon fiber blended fabric. 
 early November 2013, most parts of our country had entered the winter, and the temperature began to decline. Zhang Shifu, a street cleaner in Southwest China, has to work hard in order to clean up the city. In the early hours of the morning, the biting cold wind was the biggest headache for him. Master Zhang has been hesitant about buying himself a woolen sweater to withstand the severe cold in winter. However, the pure woolen sweater, which is thousands of thousands of yuan or even thousands of yuan, is undoubtedly astronomical. However, when he passed a sweater store this day, he found that there was a special sweater sold for only 100 yuan. The guide told him that the sweater was made of wool, polyester and acetate fibers. The wool content is 30%, the polyester content is 30%, and the acetate fiber content is 40%. 
 although this woolen sweater is not 100% pure wool products, it is much stronger than pure chemical fiber clothing. So master Zhang bought it happily. It is understood that our current implementation standards for blended woolen sweaters are: wool content is less than or equal to 30%, according to FZ/T 73005 - 2002 "low wool blended and wool like knitwear standard". Wool content greater than or equal to 30% is carried out according to FZ/T 73018 - 2002 "wool knitwear standard". 
 in fact, the textile and apparel products produced by the use of acetate fibers blended with expensive fibers such as wool, cashmere, silk and so on have largely satisfied the needs of low-income groups like Cheung. For the development and production of such products, from the perspective of textile and garment enterprises, we can get some economic benefits, and from the larger perspective, we can achieve greater social benefits. 
 the dyeing properties of acrylic fibers, polyvinyl alcohol, polyester and other kinds of chemical fibers frequently used in the textile and garment industry are poor. Therefore, dyeing difficulty has always been the biggest problem that puzzles us to use these textile and garment fibers. However, with the emergence of cellulose acetate, its excellent coloring properties can be compensated by blending. Taking the largest amount of polyester in the textile and apparel industry as an example, the advantages of polyester fiber are self-evident, but the disadvantages of its dyed and difficult to dust with static electricity are also unavoidable. However, we can effectively solve these problems through the fabric obtained from the blending of acetate fiber and polyester fiber. This type of acetate and polyester blended fabric has been widely used in sportswear, pleated skirts and so on. It has made a good market reaction. Jeans are a favorite garment among young, middle-aged and young consumers in China. However, the phenomenon that the color fastness of jeans is not qualified and the phenomenon of discoloration is serious has always been a major problem in the quality of clothing products. 
During the national day of "P" 2013, a friend of mine received two jeans from his girlfriend from Shenzhen. According to custom, in order to avoid serious discoloration, he took his pants and put them in the washing machine to soak and wash them. To his surprise, the two pairs of jeans did not appear to have dyed black water before washing. Surprised, he also telephoned the author to find the answer. The author let him carefully observe the details of these two jeans hanging tag on the fiber content. It was told that the fiber contents of these two trousers were 60% cotton, 21% polyester fiber and 19% acetate fiber respectively. Cotton and polyester fibers are very familiar to us, and are also used as raw materials for jeans, but they also have the disadvantages of easy fading. Therefore, the good coloring effect of the blended fabric after adding acetate fiber is obvious. Practically speaking, the fabric made of cellulose acetate blended with other fibers has improved the quality of textile and clothing products to a certain extent. 
 objectively speaking, the wearability of blended fabrics, such as pilling resistance, thermal insulation, machine washability and deformability, is better than that of pure fiber. From the perspective of the price and practicability of the blended fabric, it can be said that consumers are very good choices. However, there is always a misunderstanding in the consumption concept of the vast majority of ordinary consumers in China. They believe that natural fibers are definitely better than chemical fibers, and pure spinning fabrics are definitely better than blended fabrics. 
 in fact, both natural and chemical fibers have their own advantages and disadvantages. By blending different fibers, we can naturally avoid weaknesses and better satisfy our requirements for textile and garment products. 
 there is no doubt that vigorously developing and blending technology and industrialization is the inevitable trend of the development of China's textile industry in the future. At the same time, the application of acetate fiber in textile and garment industry is further widened by blending acetate fiber with other fibers. 
 make good efforts and strictly control product quality 
 in the textile and garment industry, acetate fiber is still a new type of fiber. Consumers and even sellers are still at a relatively low level of understanding, and the market price of acetate fibers is higher than ordinary fibers, such as polyester fibers. Therefore, there are some unhealthy phenomena in the terminal consumer market, such as shoddy and mixed fish. In particular, the use of acetate fiber is still mainly blended with other fibers, which makes a series of problems such as false fiber content, even deer and horse, and nothing else exist. 
(P) in 2013, Ms. Tang bought a lady's brand trousers at a chain store. The tag information shows that the fiber content of the trousers is 83% + 5%, and the spandex is 17% + 5%. However, when Ms. Tang was wearing these trousers, there was a serious quality problem. As is known to all, if the trousers are really labeled as tag, the content of acetate fiber can reach over 80%. In view of the characteristics of the fibers which are dyed with bright and strong coloring fibers, there will be no such serious discoloration problem. At the same time, Ms. Tang also found that the acetate trousers she bought did not have the drape and smoothness of the acetate fiber fabric described in the relevant information. Therefore, she doubts that this brand of trousers has serious quality problems. 
After P, Ms. Tang found a hypermarket shop to discuss the quality of the products. However, the hypermarket store claims that the brand of trousers that she sells has no quality problems. If Ms. Tang has doubts about this, she can go to the relevant testing institutions for testing. If the testing results do have quality defects, the hypermarket stores will compensate them according to the regulations. 
 however, Miss Tang did not realize that when she communicated with the third party testing organizations, she encountered an unexpected threshold. 
 it is understood that a local third party inspection agency consultant told her that the time needed for detection is about three days, and that it also needs to pay 400 yuan for the detection fee. Hearing this, Miss Tang began to hesitate. 
 because the trousers she bought are worth only 200 yuan, and the cost of testing is about twice the value of trousers. Tang also learned that the test was destructive. Once she was sent to the laboratory for testing, she could not wear the trousers again. 
After thinking about P and weighing the pros and cons, Miss Tang can only choose to give up testing and safeguarding rights. In fact, for most consumers who spend one hundred or two hundred yuan on a piece of cellulose acetate clothing, even when they have doubts about the ingredients of their products, they spend little time and money on testing. 
 in the rapid development of textile technology, we can not judge the internal quality of a textile and garment product simply by looking, feeling and some simple physical methods. These objective problems undoubtedly leave opportunities for bad businessmen who have changed their concepts. 
 besides, what is worth our attention is that many textile and clothing products now indicate washing methods, for example, they can not be dry cleaned or washed. However, there is no taboo for washing products. A consumer bought a T-shirt with cellulose acetate and accidentally dropped 502 glue onto it. In accordance with the usual washing habits, for the treatment of glue stains, he found banana drops onto glue stains, and repeatedly scrubbed them with brushes. Finally, the 502 glue was thoroughly washed away. However, his T-shirt of cellulose acetate was also washed away. In fact, such questions that remind taboo of washing are details. However, the more details can reflect the taste and connotation of a textile and garment enterprise. 
 in the textile and garment industry developed in some European and American countries, the proportion of acetate fiber applied to fabrics and clothing products has reached over 30%, and the proportion of decorative textiles is also close to 30%. It can be seen that acetate fiber and its blended fabric are welcomed by consumers. The acetate fiber industry of China's textile and apparel industry started late, and its proportion in the market is far below that of foreign countries. But fortunately, the development trend of the acetate fiber industry in China's textile and clothing industry is increasing day by day. 
 Da Jiang song. For the majority of acetic acid fiber production enterprises and the processing enterprises of acetic acid fabrics, the < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp" > product quality < /a > is the foundation, and we should also jump out of the old way of focusing on "small quality" instead of pursuing "comprehensive quality" including external quality, material quality and service quality. As a new type of environment-friendly raw material for textile and clothing, the quality of acetate fiber and its textile and garment products needs to show its advanced nature and reliability. After satisfying the physical, psychological and cultural needs of consumers, its material, material, fabric, function and performance must be high and reliable. Only in this way can we ensure the healthy and harmonious development of China's textile and garment acetate fiber industry.
