Sun Ruizhe, President of the International Textile Federation, delivered the opening speech of the conference. He first talked about, after three years, the annual meeting finally from the "cloud" back to "offline", the global textile industry gathered in beautiful Davos, Switzerland, which is a good start, reflecting the willingness of countries (regions) to promote industrial development, consensus and confidence.


He stressed that since the epidemic, the international situation is increasingly unstable, uncertain and insecure factors, overlapping each other, the world has entered a new period of turbulent change. The global textile industry to overcome the pressure, to promote recovery, showing the strong resilience and vitality of the industry chain supply chain. 2021, the global textile industry achieved stable growth, natural fibers, man-made fibers and spunbond nonwoven fiber market size grew 3.7% to 127.1 million tons. World production of natural and man-made fibers reached 118.5 million tons with a 3-year fastest growth rate of 4.6%, with man-made fibers growing 8.8% to 88.2 million tons.





He also talked about the uncertainty of the external environment makes the industry development face more pressure. Global industry chain cooperation is hindered, commodity prices fluctuate, global inflation persists for a long time, and the mid- and downstream market demand is sluggish. In particular, the European energy crisis has exacerbated the risk of upstream raw material supply. Demand contraction and supply shocks are intertwined, and the foundation for sustained industrial recovery is yet to be solidified.


Sun Rui Zhe believes that to address common challenges, grasp the important window of economic recovery, the global textile industry to create a community of common destiny, strengthen pragmatic cooperation, so that the global textile industry on a healthy and stable development track. First, we must adhere to common prosperity and promote open development. Second, we should follow the trend of science and technology, and promote innovation and development. Third, we should integrate into the digital economy and promote integrated development. Fourth, we should practice the dual carbon goal and promote green development. Fifth, we should adhere to the people-oriented, to promote responsible development.

In his speech, Sun Rizhe also focused on the International Textile Federation. He pointed out that at present, the epidemic repeatedly delayed, geo-conflicts intensified, broken chain decoupling and food and energy security issues are increasingly prominent, human beings are facing unprecedented challenges. At the same time, we also see that the expectations of countries (regions) to achieve peace and stability have not changed, the aspirations to accelerate economic recovery and development have not changed, and the spirit of solidarity and cooperation to overcome the difficulties of the times has not changed.


Sun Ruizhe stressed that under the new situation, the International Textile Federation, as an important constructive force in the world textile industry, should continue to be faithful to the original intention and mission of promoting the development of the industry and the pursuit of human progress; to uphold the positioning of promoting industry unity and serving the development of the industry; to promote the stability and consistency of exchanges and cooperation among members. As long as the industry is beneficial, the International Textile Federation should be obliged to do, and do a good job. And put forward a few suggestions: First, enhance the sense of pioneering, open a new situation; second, promote the development of the key, seeking new results; third, promote the spirit of solidarity, strengthen the new cooperation.


Sun Rizhe stressed that development is the eternal theme of human society. Everything gets its origin to be born, and everything gets its way to become. Open cooperation is the right way to promote the sustainable development of the global textile industry. Looking to the future, we should follow the trend of historical development and the development trend of globalization, be confident and move forward hand in hand, and we will definitely have a beautiful future for our embroidery business!

Multi-Functional Scratch tester For automotive interior materials

          Multi-Functional Scratch tester is applicable to all types of wiping performance test of automotive interior materials; test equipment integrated three domestic standards (fingers scraping method, a hundred grid method, and plastic scraping finger scraping method).         Scratch tester is an electronic instrument capable of measuring critical load, adhesion, scratch resistance and bond strength for a wide range of surfaces. Scratch tester measures the scratch resistance of a sliding and moving surface in the relative motion to a stylus. The stylus is forced/pressed against the moving surface with precise controlled force which is normal to the surface and tangential force at the contact has to be measured.         Scratch tester can be utilized for all type of industrial coating from the plasma layers used in semiconductor and optical technology used in decorative coatings used for automotive and consum...

Reveal the standards for textile breathability testing and let you understand it in seconds!

 Reveal the standards for textile breathability testing and let you understand it in seconds! Breathability testing is a measure of how much gas can pass through a textile. However, there is no single "optimal" air permeability value, as it depends on the specific circumstances in which the textile is used. For example, if it is used to make sportswear, it is hoped that it has good breathability; if it is used to make insulating clothes or warm clothes, it is hoped that it can block the cold well. Therefore, when testing the air permeability of textiles, the purpose of using the textile must be clearly understood in order to obtain reasonable values. In order to accurately and quickly test the true breathability performance of a sample, specially designed and developed instruments must be used. Testing methods generally include: fabric thickness (Thickness), fabric density (Density), fabric water absorption rate (Water Absorption Rate), evaporation and mass transfer (Moistur...

Test Methods of Universal Pilling Assessment Viewer (PAV)

Universal Pilling Assessment Viewer enables fabric to be assessed while still mounted on a Martindale head. The Pilling Assessment Viewer (PAV) for the textile market has been developed with the help of a major textile company in accordance to BN EN ISO 12945 standards incorporating all 3 parts and adopting the following test methods: Part 1: ICI Pilling box method (BS 5811) Part 2: Modified Martindale method (SN 198 525) Part 3: Atlas random tumble method (ASTM D 3512-96) It uses D65 Artificial Daylight (with CWF optionally available), as specified by many retailers. Other test methods can also be viewed, including those specified by major retailers. Other results of test methods that can be viewed include: BS 5811:1986 Determination of resistance to pilling and change of appearance of fabrics. ICI modified pill box for snagging Fleece appearance and surface change after washing Other test methods as specified by several major retail outlet. To optimize c...
