With the improvement of people's living standards and the awareness of health and hygiene, especially the ravages of various popular viruses in recent years, the market demand for antibacterial non-woven materials is rapidly increasing, and the antibacterial properties of non-woven materials are also higher. The development of non-woven materials with good antibacterial and antibacterial properties has become one of the hot spots in the current non-woven fabric field.

The antibacterial fiber is raised from the field of industrial textiles by physically or chemically introducing substances capable of inhibiting the growth of bacteria into the surface and inside of the fiber. The antibacterial agent not only does not easily fall off on the fiber, but also spreads through the internal balance of the fiber to maintain a long-lasting antibacterial effect. effect.

"washable + breathable" to improve built-in performance

A total of Amicor antibacterial fibers have been developed jointly by the Dutch TAI Acrylic Co., Ltd. (TAF) and the Dutch company SANITIZED AG. Amicor antibacterial fiber has better washfastness than ordinary fiber. Amicor antibacterial fiber has a built-in design, like an antibacterial agent warehouse inside the fiber. The antibacterial agent slowly dissolves into the fiber surface to form a zone of inhibition. If the surface antibacterial agent is washed off, a new antibacterial agent will be formed to form a new one. The antibacterial circle, so continuous circulation, independent testing at the University of Nottingham, UK, showed that the antibacterial effect of Amicor antibacterial fiber after 200 washings was not reduced.

Ambrish Maheshwari, CEO of Acrylic Fiber Business, believes that with the improvement of people's living standards and people's awareness of health and environmental protection, the demand for antibacterial fiber will definitely constitute a huge potential market, and the production of antibacterial fiber will become an emerging and important industrial field. There is huge room for economic benefits.

Recently, the European and American textile market shows that in order to participate in the fierce competition in the market with more selling points, some famous companies in the world have brought antibacterial fiber to the market as a new type of fabric, and achieved good market performance, such as Texapel of Italy. , New York's Nipkow & Kobelt, etc. Some high-tech industrial companies in Japan are also scrambling to introduce antibacterial nonwoven products. For example, Eclat Textile has launched the most active breathable antibacterial fabric to cater to young fashion designers and sportswear companies.

"Red spider silk" for antibacterial cars

Craig Biocraft Safety Testing Laboratory recently developed the "big red recombinant spider silk fiber", which is a leader in the field of antibacterial fiber. The developer's spider silk fiber technology uses a customized genetic engineering sequence to spin two types of new composite fiber spinning transgenic silkworms, and has two different definitions of spider silk genetic engineering sequences, creating a new Various recombinant spider silks, which are stronger than previously developed varieties. It is called "red" because its color gives a bright red glow under slight ultraviolet light.

Craig Biocraft CEO Kim Thompson pointed out that a noteworthy trend in automotive interior material development research is: automotive interior structural materials (such as roof, door trim panels and rear hatch covers, etc.) will come The more emphasis is placed on the use of the composite red large recombinant spider silk fiber. The large red recombinant spider silk fiber has been widely used in the automotive industry. The use of antibacterial fiber to make automotive interior fabrics can provide a new concept of antibacterial vehicles, which is very meaningful for car drivers, especially taxi drivers.

Karry, marketing manager of Ford, USA, said that the research goal of non-woven materials for eco-automobiles is to develop composite fiber technology for injection molding interior parts to reduce the automotive industry's dependence on unsustainable raw materials.

The future application space is gradually expanding

Korea Hyundai Industrial Co., Ltd. uses a new type of hygienic fiber material developed by antibacterial fiber--antibacterial and deodorant polyester cotton, which is a cationic compound with antibacterial and deodorizing effect, which is made by processing the surface of the fiber, thereby effectively Antibacterial and deodorant effect. Antibacterial polyester cotton is mainly used in sportswear, wiping cloth and underwear. The person in charge of the company said that the current sales area of ​​this batch of products is mainly in the Middle East, and has achieved a very good market reaction. The company has signed a long-term contract with the Netherlands Titanium Acrylic Fiber Co., Ltd., which supplies antibacterial fiber raw materials.

At the same time, industrial textiles such as tents, carpets, advertising cloths, sunshades, filter cloths, various military fabrics, ropes, and cloth bags have also begun to use antibacterial fibers. If the filter medium made of antibacterial fiber is used, the bacteria can not be increased, propagated or even reduced after filtering; and the antibacterial concrete made of antibacterial fiber reinforced cement is often used in hospital wards, zoo walls and other bacteria. And easy to breed. In addition, food coatings, work clothes, etc. in the food and pharmaceutical industries are gradually using antibacterial fibers.
