The editor will show you the downstream series – Are your clothes elastic enough?

In the last issue of polyurethane downstream products, the editor broke down the most commonly used refrigerators in our homes for you. Today I want to share with you the products that are in close contact with you——spandex, how close is it? Let’s take a look at the following Spandex industry chain panorama will be clear.

As usual, today I will sort out spandex and its market development related logic , as can be seen from the above figure, spandex is mainly used in people’s daily consumer goods–In textiles and garments and some industrial textiles. Moreover, the derived application fields are also varied, and certain performance requirements for spandex will definitely be met different. In order to gain more advantages in the market competition, many spandex manufacturers are starting to differentiate Spandex is deeply cultivated in the field. According to statistics from relevant institutions, most of spandex is used in the field of textile and clothing. So today, the editor will focus on analyzing this field with you.

On the whole, China’s textile industry has recovered weakly in recent years, and the industry growth rate has remained at 4-5%. In recent years, chemical Fiber applications continue to penetrate, accounting for more than 85%, and the proportion of cotton has dropped to nearly 10% , as can be seen from the growth rate of chemical fiber production in recent years, nearly 10 every year The average compound growth rate is 10%. As a kind of chemical fiber, spandex is not the main material. Compared with polyester, nylon, etc. , spandex is more like a blind additive, the amount is not much, but the effect is great; a few percent The added amount can give the fabric better elasticity.

Due to spandex generally not100%The added amount is used to make textiles, spandex will mainly appear in the following forms ,It is mainly divided into three categories: naked yarn, core-spun yarn and covered yarn (also known as twisted yarn). Bare yarn is 100%spandex yarn, need and cotton yarn , polyester yarn, etc. are weft-knitted on circular knitting machines or warp-knitted on warp knitting machines to make elastic fabrics, which are used for swimsuits, bodysuits and sportswear, etc.; “http://wwgl.chem366.com/spandex/” target=_blank>SpandexNaked yarn is used as the core, the yarn is spun together with cotton as the outer skin, and the core-spun yarn is made into cotton-spandex by weaving Cloth, used for knitwear, bandages and other hygienic and medical products; covered yarn or twisted yarn is made of spandexNaked yarn is twisted with other opponent yarns (mainly polyester and nylon). The one-fold opponent yarn is called single-covered yarn, and the double-fold is called double-covered yarn, which can be used for weaving and producing elastic fabrics. , knitting various underwear, or making elastic socks on the hosiery machine.

the
Finished this, let’s focus on which field spandex is used in Larger and faster growth, in order to facilitate the introduction of the overall market overview, the overall we can be divided into sportswear, including swimsuits, leggings and sportswear, women’s clothing and underwear, socks, and some corner products. Among the textile and apparel products, spandex accounts for about 50% of sportswear , women’s clothing and underwear accounted for 20%, hosiery gloves and other products15%.

So.We can clearly see the market development of sports apparel products and the development of spandex The correlation is very high, so the data still speaks for itself. The output value of sportswear is basically the same as that of spandex. Judging from the correlation coefficient of the two, it is as high as 0.99, the correlation is also very high.
