<p>The improvement of consumption level and the strengthening of ecological awareness have made the public have higher expectations for home textile products. At present, the attractiveness of ecological functional textiles to consumers has been highly valued by the industry, and many home textile companies have labelled their products with ecological and functional home textile labels to profit the market.</p><p><br></p><p>In China, ecological functional home textiles are gradually gaining popularity. Thanks to the increasingly prominent recognition and pursuit of healthy and high-quality life concepts, the Chinese consumer market is full of expectations for ecological functional home textiles. Some young consumers who are willing to try new things have become the mainstream consumption of functional home textiles. They are more willing to invest for themselves and their families. They are also more able to accept new concepts such as health, skin beauty, safety, and environmental protection, and are willing to pay higher prices for the products. "Ecology" and "functionality" pay.</p><p><br></p><p>Nowadays, ecological functional home textiles are very popular in Japan and Taiwan, and the enthusiasm for enterprise development is high, consumers have more trust in products, and the acceptance and breadth of various functions of home textiles are relatively high, and the product categories are more abundant. Not only are bedroom home textiles that are good for sleep, but also functional home textiles used in other home spaces such as living rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and baby home textiles that require special attention and care. At present, my country’s functional textiles are mainly focused on health care effects, such as antibacterial, deodorant, and anti-mite products, as well as healthy sleeping and bedroom products, etc.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Categories of ecological functional textiles</p><p><br></p><p>1. Antistatic home textile fabric</p><p><br></p><p>In the field of home textiles, synthetic fibers make up for the shortage of natural fibers and are used in large quantities, but they have poor moisture absorption and are easy to accumulate static electricity. The woven textiles are easy to absorb dust, stain, and have poor air permeability. In severe cases, they can cause electric shocks and even cause Fire. Therefore, people hope that textiles can have antistatic properties, that is, the fabric itself can eliminate static electricity.</p><p><br></p><p>There are two current antistatic methods</p><p><br></p><p>One is the antistatic finishing of the fabric. In the finishing, an antistatic finishing agent is used to introduce a layer of hydrophilic film on the surface of the fiber, which can improve the moisture absorption of the fabric and reduce the friction coefficient and surface specific resistance;</p><p><br></p><p>The second is to first make the fibers into conductive fibers, and then weave the conductive fibers into fabrics. Antistatic fabrics have been well used in home textile products such as bedding and curtains.</p><p><br></p><p>2. Antibacterial home textile fabric</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.sh-texcel.com/functional-fabrics" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Functional textiles </a>with antibacterial simbim play an extremely important role in preventing the invasion of germs. Daily necessities made of antibacterial functional textile fabrics have gradually attracted people’s attention, and with the development of science and technology, they have been widely and deeply radiated to life In the details.</p><p><br></p><p>For example, textiles and household articles made of anti-mite and anti-bacterial fibers can not only inhibit mites and repel mites, effectively prevent the occurrence of dust mites-related skin diseases, but also anti-bacterial and inhibit the reproduction of bacteria, so as to improve people’s living environment purpose.</p><p><br></p><p>Antibacterial home textiles can be obtained by coating or resin treatment on the fabric. This finishing technique is commonly used for natural pure textiles. It is also possible to add an antibacterial agent to the fiber stock solution for blending spinning, or to graft common fibers with an antibacterial agent to prepare antibacterial fibers, and then weave the antibacterial fibers to obtain antibacterial home textiles.</p><p><br></p><p>Currently widely used antibacterial products include bedding, cotton wool, bed sheets, towels, towel quilts, cotton blankets, carpets, bathrobes, rags, sofas, wall coverings, mops, tablecloths, napkins, shower curtains, etc.</p><p><br></p><p>3. Anti-ultraviolet home textile fabric</p><p><br></p><p>Ultraviolet rays are harmful to the human body. If people are exposed to ultraviolet rays for a long time, dermatitis, pigmentation, accelerated skin aging, and even cancer will occur. If textiles can be made into anti-ultraviolet textiles, the harm to the human body will be greatly reduced.</p><p><br></p><p>There are two treatment methods for UV radiation resistance</p><p><br></p><p>One is the finishing method;</p><p><br></p><p>The second is to directly make anti-ultraviolet fibers, and then weave the fibers into fabrics.</p><p><br></p><p>The so-called anti-ultraviolet fiber is an anti-ultraviolet fiber made by melt-spinning an ultraviolet shielding agent. The matrix contains synthetic or artificial fibers. The fabric of this fiber has a UV shielding rate of over 95% and is suitable for making curtains and other household anti-ultraviolet textile.</p><p><br></p><p>4. Flower type</p><p><br></p><p>The currently popular fabric patterns are processed through jacquard, printing, embroidery, planting, ginning, cutting, burnout, baking, spraying, applique, grinding and other processes. For example, in silk jacquard fabrics, different raw materials, threads or weaves enhance the contrast of the fabric surface, presenting a relief effect, and the graceful and dynamic jacquard patterns give the fabric a flowing and luxurious feeling. The colorful fold style is also an important performance of silk fabrics. The medium and strong twisted silk yarns that have been combined and twisted many times are used as weft yarns, and the surface of the fabric is wrinkled through twisting. The silk stripe effect is still popular, and the combination of plain weave, twill weave, and varying weaves forms a variety of vertical stripe effects on the surface of the fabric, with a unique style.</p><p><br></p><p>5. Functionality and high technology</p><p><br></p><p>With the strengthening of people’s awareness of environmental protection, the requirements for textiles have gradually expanded from soft and comfortable, moisture-absorbing, breathable, wind and rainproof, etc. to mildew, moth, odor, UV, radiation, flame retardant, antistatic, health care and skin care, etc. In terms of functionality and environmental protection, the development and application of various new fabrics and the development of new processes and technologies have gradually realized these requirements. Functional home textiles refer to textiles with special functions, such as safety functions, comfort functions, hygiene functions, protection functions, etc.</p><p><br></p><p>In the past two years, the American market has greatly increased the acceptance of functional home textiles made of various Modal, TencelTM and other regenerated cellulose fibers, which may indicate that functional home textiles will have a better prospect in the American market. From the price point of view, the prices of eco-functional home textiles in developed countries and regions such as Europe, the United States, and Japan are higher. According to research, the price of foreign ecological functional textiles is about 7 times that of similar products in my country.</p>
