Safety Textiles Alliance Innovation

In today's fierce competition in domestic and foreign markets, no single company can go it alone. For the domestic security industry, which is in the stage of climbing, the vast market needs to develop together. The deepest feeling for the 2014 China Safety Protection Textile and Apparel Industry Innovation and Development Forum is the deep consensus reached between companies on the development of Baotuan. This kind of cooperation is no longer a simple horizontal connection, but more of an upstream and downstream company, especially a deep reflection on the needs of end customers.

According to the guidelines of the central government, production, learning, research, and use, with the enterprise as the main body, all R&D innovations center around the final product development and market application. Yao Ming, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, called for the textile industry to extend the industrial chain forward and backward, integrate the entire industrial chain into a whole, and build a strategic alliance for industrial technology innovation. Cold and cold, from the "Duke of Zuozhuan eight years," "Fruh, Qi Jin's lips, dead lips, cold teeth, Jun also known." Used to metaphorically related to interest, there is competition between companies have cooperation, this relationship between the lips and teeth must also be It is a microcosm of the interdependence of various links in the security industry chain.

“The power of individual companies is limited. Through alliances, we can obtain information more quickly and accurately, and communicate more at the technical and market levels. The forms of alliances can be varied. Large enterprises have large alliances, and small enterprises can consider targeted issues. What about the small league?” In order to be able to join an effective alliance in the future, Gu Guanqun, assistant to the general manager of Zhengzhou Simian Textile Co., Ltd., put forward his own suggestions in anticipation.

There are 13 units in the special alliance for safety and protection textiles. Compared with the vast territory of the industry, it is only a small sum of money. While all parties fully affirm the value of their industrial chain innovation, the hidden concerns are also openly discussed. Liu Qiang, chairman of the board of directors of the Alliance and chairman of Yuanfeng Textile Technology Research Co., Ltd. pointed out that because of the small size of the coalition, the imperfect interest distribution mechanism and the lack of internal deep cooperation, the Alliance’s innovation results are few, and its influence on the terminal market is also weak. .

The need for a coalition is self-evident, how to make the group strike from the declaration into action is the most hopeful discussion in this forum. For example, in terms of understanding end-user needs, exploring the terminal market is an unfamiliar field for industrial companies. It requires a complete team and long-term management experience. The good news is that the organic cooperation between upstream and downstream is from spontaneous to self-conscious, facing problems. The company chose to look directly but not avoid it.

Define coalition goals, establish long-term plans, expand alliances, improve operational mechanisms, integrate superior resources, establish public technology research and development centers, subdivide areas, promote market development with projects, focus on industry standards, and strive for national policies to optimize the development of the external environment ...... In this way, the participating companies will provide advice and suggestions for the future. The security industry's desire for deep integration within the industry and cross-industry exchanges in the terminal area can also be seen in the content of this forum's keynote speech.

Due to the nature of work in the power industry, the safety protection of the industry is mainly aimed at dangers such as arc damage, voltage damage, falling from high altitude, and mechanical attack. Among them, the protection measures of arc damage and voltage damage are closely related to the clothing materials.

To prevent arc damage, arc-proof clothing with a mask is mainly used, and its main purpose is flame retardance and resistance to radiant heat. There are two types of arc-proof clothing: First, the arc-proof clothing: ATPV≥10cal/cm2; outer fabric weight 210g/m2, inner fabric weight 150g/m2. The second is anti-arcing overalls: As a daily work wear, the protection level ATPV ≥ 5cal/cm2, optional single fabric weight 210g/m2 production.

The arc-proof mask can effectively prevent the short-circuit arc from burning on the face. The protection grade PC material ATPV ≥8cal/cm2, and the protective mask grade ATPV≥10cal/cm2 with protective chin.

We require arc protective clothing materials to have permanent arc resistance, not to fail due to water washing; thermal protection, with flame-retardant and thermal insulation properties; high mechanical properties, will not burst at high temperatures. However, there are still some problems in the existing protective clothing, such as the overall level of safety protection is not high, lack of market supervision; the quality of safety protective equipment is difficult to guarantee; the level of research and development of insulating materials restricts the development of electrical technology; research on power safety protection technology Urgently improved.

The industry needs to improve the management system through legislation and strengthen cross-industry exchanges so as to promote the protection of the textile, chemical, power, and petroleum industries together. While improving the performance of protective clothing, we also hope that its comfort and aesthetics will increase at the same time. Clothing with bright colors and better breathability and perspiration properties is what workers expect.

Exploring the Safeguarding Textile Union Alliance for Collaborative Innovation

Upstream and downstream cooperative innovation in the industrial chain is an effective model for promoting the development of the industry. With the diversification of market demands and the intensification of industrial competition, the demand for more extensive cooperation among companies in the supply chain is increasing, and such collaboration is not only The simple connection of resources such as machinery and equipment of member companies, more importantly, can effectively integrate various resources required for the upstream and downstream enterprises to innovate and develop.

Emphasizes the parallelization of various links, the integration of innovative resources, and the collaborative actions of member companies, and actively promote the industrialization of scientific and technological achievements. This kind of cooperation is both vertical and horizontal. Enterprises jointly cultivate compound technical talents and form an innovative team that runs through the entire industry chain.

End-user participation in innovation is an urgent requirement for the combination of technology and the market. Such technology products can be grounded. At the same time, it is necessary to pool the advantages of resources and mobilize the enthusiasm of the alliance.

Of course, there are still some problems in the alliance cooperation at this stage. For example, the alliance is small in scale, and the enthusiasm of the members to participate in cooperation is not high, and the cooperation between upstream, downstream, and production, education and research is not tight. The alliance's management mechanism is not perfect, the goal is not clear, "political research and production use" failed to produce a strong chemical reaction.

In addition, the lack of public innovation funds, public innovation teams and R&D platforms, and immature risk control and benefit distribution mechanisms have also led to a lack of deep-level R&D cooperation within the alliance, and strategic long-term cooperation has been less.

The influence of the alliance on the terminal market is also urgently needed to accelerate the industrialization of scientific and technological achievements.

Protective clothing must be tailored

Xi'an University of Technology Professor Zhang Xin

The traditional clothing industry is bringing about the adjustment of industrial structure with digitization and information technology. “Customization of digital clothing” is exactly the essence and core of concepts such as “advanced customization”, “cloud customization” and “IT customization”.

For first-line workers who wear long-term work clothes for a long time, a set of comfortable and comfortable protective clothing is particularly necessary. The fit and comfort of safety protective clothing directly affect the working status and efficiency of the wearer. Therefore, individual safety protection equipment also needs to be tailored to ensure its most effective safety protection.

Protection, safety, sports, and comfort are the design directions in which safety protective clothing needs to be strengthened. In apparel companies, the promotion and application of “digital clothing tailored technologies” can greatly improve the quality of professional wear design and shorten the design cycle. In the application process of tailor-made technologies, companies can also transform their accumulated data resources into tangible production factors, so as to provide customers with more appropriate design methods and means to enhance their core competitiveness.

The main features of tailored digital clothing include: First, the use of three-dimensional human body measurement equipment and technology to obtain digital human models and full-size garment design. The second is the use of knowledge-driven clothing-intelligent plate-making principles to achieve "one person and one edition." The third is the use of the tag system combined with the single piece of clothing modern production organization. The fourth is data management, analysis and service model based on knowledge management and big data.

Is your protective clothing quality pass?

Overall disqualification rate of protective clothing industry decreased: In recent years, the overall disqualification rate of clothing has gradually dropped from 31.2% to 15.7%, and the disqualification rate of clothing functional indicators is 10.23%, including antistatic performance, flame retardant performance and chemical resistance performance. . The unqualified rate of physical and chemical performance index of clothing was 15.8%, which was mainly due to the problems of formaldehyde content, pH value and breaking strength.

The proportion of comprehensive protective clothing in sampling samples has increased year by year, from 0.7% in 2010 to 2.3% in 2013. This is enough to show that while consumers are demanding clothing comfort, the emphasis on clothing safety is also increasing.

Especially for the decomposition of carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes, heavy metals, acrylic fibers, asbestos fibers, flame retardants, dyes and other restrictions, the testing department has strict regulations. Domestic and foreign standards for inspection and testing of toxic and hazardous substances in functional protective fabrics have been discussed.

The current status of protective clothing product quality analysis: The quality of domestic protective clothing itself has basically been able to meet the requirements of protective performance; consumers pay more and more attention to the comfort of protective clothing and fabrics; some clothing still contains toxic and hazardous substances and excessive phenomenon. .

In this regard, we believe that improving the level of weaving techniques and replacing non-toxic or low-toxic substances with existing high-risk chemicals is an important means to improve product comfort and enhance the competitiveness of the international market.
