Nowadays, more and more researches on fabrics have been carried out, and there has been an upswing in the development of functional fabrics, recycled materials, and new fiber materials. One example is health-care functional textiles. Hi Vis Rain Jacket,Hi Vis Workwear,Waterproof Jacket Work Shirt,Softshell Jacket Co., Ltd. , http://www.cnworkshirt.com
The rapid development of health-care textiles requires "quality DNA"
The reporter learned that the vast majority of health functional textiles use knitted fabrics. Knitted fabrics have the advantages of comfortable wear, breathable cooling, and flexibility. They are suitable for being widely used as health sportswear, health and leisure T-shirts, and health underwear. However, because of the organization structure of the knitted fabric itself, health care functional textiles generally have the problems of poor appearance after washing, poor shape retention after washing, and poor dimensional stability.
“Once one bite was bitten by a snake, ten years ago, there was a fear of wells.†Inferior health care products have begun to affect the entire health functional textile market, and many consumers have become increasingly suspicious of textiles with health functions. The improvement of quality has become a “difficult problem to be solved†in China's health functional textile industry. In addition, in the “Enlightenment of Zhang Wubenâ€, we also saw modern people’s attention to physical health and the ills of the domestic health care supervision system.
  "Nano towel" hype
Rapid development, lack of standards, uneven quality levels, exaggerated propaganda, and chaotic pricing systems have become the “adjectives†of China's health-care functional textiles.
In terms of quality, for the vast majority of health functional textiles, consumers cannot differentiate themselves by their own capabilities. This needs to be achieved through the strengthening of the orderly rectification of the market by the quality supervision department, and it also requires specialization. Institutional equipment and equipment assistance.
“The towel that was peeled off, no hair removal, no bacteria, easy to absorb water, 8 yuan, a loss at a big sale!†In the section of Shiqiao, Panyu District, Guangzhou, the reporter saw this “nano towel†with many health functions. . The owner, Mr. Chen, told the reporter that he saw many sellers selling such “nano-towels†on Taobao last month. The sales were very hot and he started to sell on the spot in Guangzhou.
The reporter carefully observed several so-called "nano-towels". The hand feels really good, but the towel does not indicate the manufacturer, nor does it indicate the composition of the fiber. Production licenses and product specifications are even less.
"The use of nanotechnology in textiles is not mature, 'nano-towels' is purely hype, and businesses are also 'bullying' consumers simply can not test the quality." Experts pointed out that at present the country has not yet a standard to identify what is a nano-terry towel. "Nanotechnology materials are mostly used for waterproofing, rubbing, etc. They are not good for towels."
It is difficult to verify the "bamboo clothing"
Bamboo charcoal is known as "black diamond" and is called "new guardian of environmental protection in the 21st century". It has a unique cellular microporous structure, which enables bamboo charcoal fibers to have superior adsorption and far-infrared emission capabilities.
However, a recent investigation by the reporter found that in fact, many merchants promote clothing with the concept of “charcoal charcoal†is very vague. Bamboo charcoal fiber has many excellent characteristics such as removing odor, shielding computer clothing, far infrared, etc. However, the reporter found that in many bamboo charcoal garments, at least one of the bamboo charcoal's producing areas and the firing temperature clearly marked product is only a bamboo charcoal underpants. "The products used are marked by Taiwan's Meng Zongzhu, which is decomposed with the traditional high-temperature kilns at a high temperature of 800 degrees, and can effectively absorb formaldehyde, as well as antibacterial, antibacterial, and negative ions.
"The adsorption of formaldehyde and other harmful substances on bamboo charcoal fibers can be classified into different pore sizes such as macropores, micropores, and mesopores. The adsorption capacity of bamboo charcoal fibers with a specific pore diameter for harmful substances is limited, which means that bamboo charcoal cannot adsorb all of them. Gas.†Experts told reporters that, in addition, bamboo charcoal fiber to achieve the effect of radiation protection, must be higher than 1000 degrees, the release of negative ions has not yet been verified.
At present, many manufacturers use the name “bamboo charcoal fiber†for production. However, in fact, there are many bamboo charcoal fibers, or what type of bamboo charcoal fiber is used is very difficult to verify. This is also one of the regulations for the quality of bamboo charcoal fiber in China. Big gap.
Health textile complaints rise sharply
According to the complaint report released recently by the China Consumer Association, in the first quarter of 2010, a total of more than 130,000 consumer complaints were received across the country, with quality issues reaching more than half, 56%. Among the industries complained, the garment industry was the most, reaching 29.4% of the total. Among them, the amount of complaints for health products (including health functional textiles) has increased significantly, up by 42.1% year-on-year, ranking the top of complaints.
“People’s living standards have improved, and their investment in health care has also increased significantly. In particular, many people who are frail or suffer from chronic diseases have used health-care functional textiles as a basis for their own treatment and for their Johnson’s. However, the results are often unsatisfactory. The quality of the products is not inferior, and some illegal ingredients have been added.†Experts point out that although they cannot treat diseases, such textiles can also be beneficially regulated for human functions, with far-infrared rays, radiation protection, magnetic functions, and antibacterial functions. A series of effects.
According to Zhou Bangyong, deputy secretary-general of the Chinese Health Association, the current serious problem in the health care functional textiles market is the lack of standards. He pointed out that among the more than ten kinds of functions claimed by the manufacturers such as antibacterial, anion, anti-radiation, anti-thrombosis, magnetic functions, far-infrared, and anti-varicose veins, only functional textiles such as magnetic health care, far-infrared, and antibacterial care have association standards. There are no standards for claiming functions, let alone national standards.
The person in charge of the marketing of a health-care functional textiles manufacturer in Guangzhou told China Fiber Inspection that “in order to fully avoid competition with traditional cotton and chemical fiber clothing, our company will hit the 'health brand' this year to grab more with new products. The market.†At present, textiles with health functions have begun to expand into many fields such as health, environmental protection, medical care, chemical engineering, and nanotechnology.
In 2015 , there are 200 billion market of health textiles
"In 2009, China has become the world's second-largest consumer health functional textile consumer market after the United States. Its annual sales amounted to 13.4 billion U.S. dollars, second only to the U.S. figure of 14.7 billion U.S. dollars. It is growing at an annual rate of 20%." On May 30, 2010, Zhou Bangyong provided data on the status quo of China's health functional textiles and development summit jointly organized by China Health Care Association and China Knitting Industry Association.
At present, health-care functional textiles, as a part of health products affiliated with health foods, have surpassed health foods in market sales. “In 2015, the market size of health-functional textiles will reach 200 billion yuan.†Zhou Bangyong predicted.
According to the reporter, Japan's health functional textiles accounted for 39% of all textiles, and the United States was 28%. This proportion of China is still very small and the market prospect is very broad.
According to the definition of the "Health Care Functional Textiles CAS 115-2005" of the China Health Association in October 2006, health functional textiles refer to the functions of emitting far-infrared rays, generating magnetic fields, antibacterial functions, etc., in order to regulate and improve the functions of the body. A textile that aims to treat diseases and does not produce any toxic side effects on the human body.
There are many varieties of health-care products. As far as clothing is concerned, there are as many as 100 kinds of health care functional textiles, such as shirts, sanitary wares, chests, underwear, sportswear, underwear (winter suits, body, warmth), T-shirts, shorts, pajamas, t-shirts, and maternity clothes. Business wear and so on.
Experts pointed out that while counterfeiting and counterfeiting are raging, some textile products that have really good health effects are “hidden in ignoranceâ€. On the one hand, because it does not have personal affinity, it is also too high-tech, so even the salesperson himself is not clear. Industry players are in desperate need of “high-quality boozeâ€, which is based on systematic training of corporate sales personnel so that they can introduce products to consumers in easy-to-understand language.
“Because health-care functional textiles have certain scientific and technological content and health care effects, they not only meet the wearing needs but also satisfy the health needs. Therefore, the price is higher than that of traditional textiles. It is understandable in itself.†Zhou Bangyong believes that the close cooperation between the upper and lower reaches It is the cornerstone of healthy development of health functional textiles, that is, the interaction of “material, beauty, and roadâ€. The upstream responsibility is to ensure the safety and effectiveness of raw materials; the midstream is the manufacture of fashionable and comfortable products; the downstream is to explore new marketing channels and techniques and implement brand strategy.
Yao Mu, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, pointed out that knitted and health functional textiles have achieved outstanding achievements in the aspects of raw material innovation, technological innovation, special equipment innovation, design innovation, functional innovation, humanistic concept innovation, branding and management innovation. In particular, innovations in practical functions, knitwear and knitwear have embarked on a prosperous road.
