Based on the concept of "making science and technology come alive creatively", the design of this competition is based on the combined application of a new type of warm-keeping filling material-feather plush provided by Foshan Shenyu Textile Co., Ltd. This new type of feather plush with China and international patents not only has high warm-keeping performance, but also has the characteristics of lightness, smoothness, tailoring and washability.
The image of China down jacket, which has been popular for many years, will be subverted. The so-called fashionable down jacket with traditional down as filler will really be out of date.
What caused this down jacket revolution was Liu Lijin, chairman of Foshan Shenyu Company.
Second, build a promising feather and plush industry in China with high technology.
Liu Lijin said that after years of hard work, we and relevant scientific and technological personnel have successfully developed the product of feather plush, thus adding a new variety to natural fibers and effectively utilizing feather products that were scarce and unusable in China in the past.
Textile experts in China pointed out that the traditional natural fibers are cotton, hemp, wool, silk, down and so on. Duck down and goose down are known as the lightest and best natural thermal insulation materials in the world. Down not only has strong hygroscopicity and oil absorption, but also contains 17 kinds of amino acids and various trace elements, which can promote human metabolism and calm the nerves. The products filled with natural down have the strongest cold resistance, and have health care functions such as temperature regulation and moisture absorption. Light and fluffy features make the touch more comfortable and warm. Its quality can remain unchanged for a long time, it is not easy to be eaten by insects, it is easy to maintain and collect, and it will not be deformed due to long-term use. It has the advantages of light weight, air permeability and no mugginess, and pure natural raw materials make it both green and healthy. However, down also has some shortcomings, which limit its specific application. First of all, down is afraid of water and is not easy to clean. Secondly, due to its natural shape, the products made of down insulation materials are uneven in thickness and huge in volume, which can only be used for insulation filling and cannot be cut at will, thus limiting the design of down insulation products. Third, some people are allergic to down. In addition, its high price has also discouraged many users.
China is the first country in the world to recognize and utilize down, and now it is the largest producer of down and feathers in the world. According to the statistics of China Down Association, the output of down products in China accounts for 60% of the world. The annual export volume accounts for more than 70% of the total world down trade, and the annual domestic down production is about 700,000 tons. However, due to the immature feather utilization technology, although the price of down has reached about 250,000 yuan per ton, nearly 80% of the feathers are still discarded, which not only wastes resources, but also pollutes the environment. There are only about 30,000 tons of down that can really be used as clothing fillers in China every year. A large number of feathers are difficult to use because of their own structural limitations, so they are thrown away in vain.
How to further develop a large number of feathers that could not be used in the past, so that feathers can also contribute to human consumption? The scientific and technological development of Guangdong Foshan Shenyu Textile Co., Ltd. has made this idea come true and realized the myth that feathers become down.
So, how did Liu Lijin lead scientific and technological personnel to develop feather plush technology? Liu Lijin said that a feather is mainly composed of two parts: a stem and a feather branch. As far as its microstructure is concerned, each feather branch has a hollow structure, which can store air and has a very good heat insulation effect, which is also the reason why a feather can keep warm. In view of this feature, the researchers of Guangdong Foshan Shenyu Textile Co., Ltd. improved the traditional processing technology, stripped feather branches from feather pieces by scientific methods, and produced feather fibers with feathers as raw materials through a series of innovative technological treatments such as 140 degrees high temperature. This feather fiber not only keeps the natural structure of feather branches to the maximum extent, but also has the perfect warm-keeping effect like down.
Shenyu company is based on feather fiber and mixed with other open textile fibers in a closed reciprocating mixer to improve the cross-cohesion between feather fiber and other fibers. After equipment modification and carding processing, a brand-new thermal insulation material-feather wool (feather fiber floc) was produced through the processes of laying net, hot melting, spraying glue and drying.
This product has a fetal structure and has the same warmth retention as down. But there is a bigger breakthrough than down products. First, because of its fetal structure, it is thin, flat and uniform, which changes the soft rib of down products. Secondly, it can be cut at will like cloth, which breaks through the design problem of cold-proof and warm-keeping products; Its unique manufacturing process makes the floc have a network structure, which is not easy to loosen and can be washed at will, which is also a breakthrough to the traditional down filler. What's more, it uses discarded feathers as raw materials, breaking through the bottleneck of scarce and expensive down resources, and the product price is less than half of that of the same type of down products, with excellent cost performance.
Liu Lijin said happily that after years of efforts, Shenyu Company has successfully launched a series of feather fiber products such as feather plush, feather leather, feather felt, feather blended yarn and feather blended fabric. Shenyu Company took the lead in solving the technical problem of "non-spinning feathers" in the world. The company has 30 patents with independent intellectual property rights in China, and applied for technology patent protection in the United States, the European Union, Japan, Russia and other countries and regions. In 2003, the development of brand-new down and feather products of Shenyu was included in the national spark plan. In 2005, Shenyu Company won the Science and Technology Award of Shunde District, Foshan City and many other scientific and technological awards for its newly developed feather plush technology.
Domestic authoritative experts believe that the successful development and large-scale production of these feather products have a great impact on the development of China's entire feather (velvet) industry. It greatly improves the use value of feathers in the textile field, broadens the application field, not only provides new natural fiber materials for the textile industry, but also fully meets the requirements of China's national economy to take the road of comprehensive utilization and circular economy.
By the end of 2006, Shenyu Company has formed a production capacity of 10,000 tons, which will be fully put into the market in 2007. I believe which down jacket manufacturer takes the lead in using this product as down jacket filler, which will lead the new fashion of down jacket industry.
Third, relying on the industry and joining hands with universities to promote the development of feather and plush industry.
From June 5, 2006 to 10, Liu Lijin, Chairman of Shenyu Textile Co., Ltd., and Zhao Qiang, President of China Textile Academy signed a technical cooperation agreement on behalf of both parties. According to the agreement between the two parties, China Academy of Textile Science will provide further guidance and help to Foshan Shenyu Textile Co., Ltd. in the research and development of feather and down related application technologies, process improvement, realization of large-scale production, determination of technical standards and product standards, and formulation of testing and inspection specifications, so as to promote the research and development and market capacity of China feather and down industry. For Shenyu Company, this cooperation means that its development project has been recognized by national scientific research institutions. It marks that Shenyu has taken another big step in the process of Industry-University-Research's integration.
When talking about the next goal of Shenyu development, Liu Lijin said that the application field of feather plush is very broad, and we will continue to cooperate with well-known domestic manufacturers to further promote this new material. While marching into the fields of warm clothing and casual clothing, we should also extend feather plush to home textile products, outdoor leisure products, shoes and hats and other fields. Except the down jacket. We will also build a big brand of Shenyu Technology.
Fourth, experts and leaders: highly praised
Du Yuzhou, president of China Textile Industry Association, attended the signing ceremony of cooperation between Shenyu Company and China Textile Research Institute, and pointed out that in the new era of increasing scientific and technological progress and developing independent brands with innovation as the core, the cooperation between Shenyu Company and Research Institute in feather plush development project has realistic industrial driving significance. It is of great significance to improve the scientific and technological content of the industry, solve the problems of resource, processing technology, product quality innovation and application field expansion, and solve the problem of resource and environment friendliness, that is, the textile industry must rely on scientific and technological progress and brand innovation to change its growth mode and rely on our better social cooperation to promote our industrial upgrading. The direct content of this contract is feather plush. The application of feathers can achieve the thermal and sanitary properties of down, which is equivalent to expanding the supply of down resources in China.
He said: the industrialization and standardization of this research result will make our down industry have more abundant resources. We have an excellent staff, excellent scientific research team and a group of entrepreneurs with international marketing ability. If we combine these factors well, it is possible to change the export model and industry growth model in export development.
Jia Luqiao, former president of China Textile Research Institute and professor of China Textile Research Institute, said that at present, the main thermal insulation materials on the market are porous chemical fiber thermal insulation materials and down, and feather and plush blended thermal wadding appears as a new material, adding a new member to the thermal insulation family. Feather and plush blended thermal wadding not only has wide sources of raw materials, high thermal insulation performance and portability, but also adopts brand-new technology to form fluffy tires, which is more conducive to cutting and design, with low price and high cost performance. As far as its technology is concerned, it is a fully mature technology. As a warm filling material, it can be said to be close to perfection. The market potential is great, which has a great influence on the down thermal insulation material market.
Lin Wei, vice president of China Garment Association, said that as a garment industry, we have been paying close attention to the development of new products and technologies. As a new product and technology, feather and plush blended warm wadding appears in the market, which is of positive significance to the development of China's clothing industry. There is a great demand for down in the market, but the output of down is limited and the price is high. In view of this situation, the appearance of feather and plush blended warm wadding just fills this gap. As long as enterprises increase the technical development and promotion of products, I believe there will be good market performance. For the clothing market, feather and plush blended warm wadding has two biggest advantages, one is low price, which can benefit the public, and the other is to make winter clothing more fashionable.
Yang Donghui, president of China Home Textiles Association, said after watching the exhibition of Shenyu Materials that home textiles have three important indicators, namely, warmth, lightness and hygiene. At this point, the feather plush developed by Shenyu is more economical and practical, and it has incomparable advantages in the field of home textiles compared with chemical fiber and traditional down thermal insulation materials.
The appearance of feather and plush blended fiber can be said to have far-reaching significance. Whether for industry or society, feather plush has incomparable advantages over chemical fiber insulation materials and down insulation materials.
Some experts in down industry in China pointed out that the successful development and utilization of down plush fiber thermal wadding is not only the embodiment of successful research and development of independent intellectual property rights, but also a successful example of circular economy, economic conservation, environmental protection and agriculture-supporting economy encouraged and supported by national policies. Its success will bring new vitality to the whole textile industry and bring revolution and innovation to the warm filling product industry.
5. As an innovative entrepreneur in science and technology, Liu Lijin led the feather and plush industry in China.
Liu Lijin, the chairman of Foshan Shenyu Textile Co., Ltd., once joined the army. He has served as a worker, workshop director, factory director, director of the Second Light Industry Bureau of Handan City, Hebei Province, and district head of congtai district City of Handan City. Guangzhou Zhongyu Ji Ye Down Textile Company was established in 200 1, and Shenyu Textile Co., Ltd. was established in 2004. He led the down and feather textile technology and industrial production in China with successful scientific and technological development, and his technology has many patents, which has great development prospects. Liu Lixin's transformation from a worker to a leader at all levels is the result of continuous management innovation. Since he founded a scientific and technological enterprise, he has made great achievements, relying on continuous scientific and technological innovation.
Since Liu Lijin started his business in the sea, he has been determined to do a big job in the research and development of feather plush products. He led a group of technicians in the company to realize the purpose of spinning, weaving and dyeing down and feathers, so that these two materials can be finally processed and woven like cotton, wool, hemp and silk, which greatly broadened the application field. Shenyu Company embodies the characteristics of technological innovation, technological innovation and functional innovation.
The party and the country have decided to build China into an innovative country in 15, and the foundation of innovation will be implemented in enterprises and entrepreneurs.
Du Yuzhou, president of China Textile Industry Association, pointed out that the textile industry must strengthen the innovation of textile technology, equipment and management, promote the scientific and technological progress and industrial upgrading of the textile industry, accelerate the construction of a modern textile power, and realize the sustainable development of the industry.
Liu Lijin is taking such a development path. Liu Lijin said that in the past, 80% of the raw materials of feather plush in China were wasted, reaching hundreds of thousands of tons a year, and the number was amazing. Using Shenyu's technology, 65% feather plush can be produced per ton. If it is widely promoted in the whole industry, it can save resources and generate tens of billions of yuan in benefits. And make China continue to maintain its leading position in this field.
Liu Lijin and Shen Yu, they created a brand-new world with science and technology, a new industry with broad prospects and great potential. It will become an outstanding scientific and technological entrepreneur and a shining example of scientific and technological innovation in developing independent intellectual property brands, developing national science and technology industries, revitalizing national industries and promoting the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
