Algae Fiber Opens New Blue Ocean for Shaoxing Textile Fabrics

There is such a fiber, which is derived from marine organisms, using pure water as a solvent, does not cause environmental pollution in the production process and product use, and has good biodegradability and compatibility. This is the new fiber developed by Zhejiang Shaoxing Blue-Sea Fiber Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Zhejiang Yuelong Holding Group Co., Ltd., which is Hygcell seaweed fiber. Now it has been applied in the medical field.

According to Lin Peng, assistant to general manager of Shaoxing Lanhai Fiber Technology Co., Ltd., the superiority of seaweed fiber as a medical dressing has been confirmed. "Seaweed fiber can accelerate hemostasis, shorten the time for wound healing, and prevent the wound from infecting bacteria." Lin Peng said that on the basis of medical dressings, the company is actively developing new products and making full use of the quality characteristics of seaweed fiber. For example, aiming at accelerating the aging of the population in China, the company plans to develop a health product of seaweed fiber, making seaweed fiber into clothing, and using its characteristics of affinity to the human skin, antibacterial property and self-healing, can effectively treat the elderly. Deep sores and ulcers.

“In the development process, we found that seaweed fiber also has quite a lot of performance.” Lin Peng introduced the metal ion adsorption, flame retardancy, and dyeing properties of seaweed fiber to reporters. "According to these properties, many new products can be developed. The application of metal ion adsorption to heavy metal sewage treatment, making use of its flame retardant to make lightweight and convenient fire service ..." Lin Peng said, with more seaweed The more fiber products are found, the more applications they can develop and the more potential markets they can tap.

According to reports, in the context of accelerating the economic transformation and upgrading of our county, especially in the context of the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries such as the weaving industry, the Yuelong Group has actively introduced talents, developed new projects and developed new products. In November 2010, Yao Mu’s academician workstation was established, Professor Zhu Ping of Wuhan Textile University introduced the Marine Biomass Fiber Project, Shaoxing Lanhai Fiber Technology Co., Ltd. was established, and “Hygcell” brand was registered, successfully implementing functional seaweed The application of acid fiber products in needled nonwovens.

At present, the annual output of the Blue Ocean Fiber Project that has invested more than 10 million yuan has reached 500 tons. The company will continue to expand the various uses of seaweed fiber, and plans to achieve large-scale production of seaweed fiber by the end of this year.

“The biggest advantage of seaweed fiber is that it comes from a resource-rich ocean, and does not depend on petroleum and other petrochemical raw materials. The added value of energy conservation and environmental protection is high.” Wang Ronggen, chief engineer of Zhejiang Yuelong Holding Group Co., Ltd., said that with the Blue Ocean Fiber Project's achievements The further improvement in the level of development and application will certainly produce huge economic and social benefits.
