subject: Development Of Differentiated Fiber: Ice-breaking China's Chemical Fiber Industry Road [print this page] In recent years, by the downstream textile industry boom of the poor and other factors, China's chemical fiber industry profit margins drastically reduced. Industry insiders pointed out that only increased the intensity of differential fiber development, has introduced new varieties of high value-added fiber, can really change the current weakness in the domestic chemical fiber market, imported in large quantities after processing enterprises unfavorable situation.
Call of differentiated fiber market restructuring in China is the world's largest chemical producer and consumer, but there is a clear fiber market irrational structure.
From the demand side, according to prediction, the domestic chemical fiber demand in the next few years will continue to increase rate of 10% per year. With China's rapid economic growth, the pursuit of comfort, luxury, health, nature has become fashionable, people demand more and more high-clothes, differential and functional chemical fiber products have great demand for taking space.
From the supply structure point of view, on the one hand, convergence of conventional product development, continuous expansion of production capacity. As the prices of raw materials and frequent shocks, business processing interval is compressed to an unreasonable profit status; the other hand, Europe, America, Japan and other developed countries and regions on the production of high value-added and high technology of polyester block, making China degree of chemical differentiation of products and technical content and advanced countries there is a considerable gap still need to import large quantities of differential fiber supplement. Currently, the differential rate of chemical fiber in China less than 30%, far less than developed countries. While the data show that countries with high international and regional differentiation is precisely what the country's major sources of imports differential fiber.
With acrylic, for example, in our only composite acrylic polyester, colored acrylic, acrylic high-moisture, high shrinkage acrylic fiber, conventional varieties of mass production, fire-retardant acrylic fibers (modacrylic) the use of imported technology and equipment, industrial production has been achieved, but the overall small, while some high-end modified varieties has just started, still need to import large quantities of differential fiber varieties. According to customs import statistics, China from Japan, China Taiwan and other places of the differential fiber imports, especially differential acrylic, accounting for 5 of the total demand
0%.
Therefore, as a general-purpose resins through modification of engineering characteristics, and then to seize part of the application of traditional engineering plastics market, the sustainable development of the plastics industry new impetus, as the development of chemical fiber industry is also differentiated way to go, by raising the value-added products, to achieve competitive differentiation between different enterprises, and thus achieve profitability and competitiveness enhancement.
Bright spot is the differential fiber composite fiber is defined by two or more fiber-forming polymer melt or concentrated solution, use of components, ratio, viscosity differences, are input to the same spin component, and convergence in the appropriate regions of the component, emitted from the same spinneret hole, made of parallel-type, core type, island type, Star type, etc. varieties. Composite fibers can be advantages and disadvantages to some extent complementary, filling defects. At present, the composite fiber production include ES fibers, island parallel hollow fibers and fiber.
At present, China mainly of composite fiber production equipment imported from abroad, in-line production and in power consumption, process tolerance and product production flexibility Deng Fangmian technology leader, Dan Shi's Zijin Tourujiaotai imported equipment, to some extent discourage new investment in this field. Currently, some companies and domestic enterprises are composite fiber production equipment, localization of cooperation, in addition to the key components of the spinneret not yet made, other components can be achieved domestically, so the investment cost from the original 1 per 10,000 tons million tons down to 30 million yuan each, the product gross margin will be increased gradually. At the same time, "low-cost, high starting point" will also improve the efficiency of follow-up investment.
Differentiated value-added is the lifeline of industry experts emphasized that differential fiber must have a high value-added, high-tech products. Although in recent years, the larger the domestic chemical fiber enterprises with their own technical strength, have increased the differentiated product development efforts, many new products to fill the gap, and replace imports. However, some enterprises in the pursuit of product differentiation at the same time, it ignores another point: they developed a relatively low value-added differentiated products. Differentiated fiber products relative to conventional definition, especially as a number of high technology, large profit margins of products, but in actual production, many companies failed to do so.
Made as soon as possible to improve the differential rate of chemical fiber products, the experts suggest, first, to speed up product renewal, to achieve the leap from quantity to quality. Second, open up the potential market, developing the potential market in rural areas and the Midwest to play fiber thermal performance, color-rich take such good performance; expand fiber membrane materials, civil engineering application of high performance industrial materials, and effectively with the Rural Water construction.
