Some time ago, the fluctuations in the raw material prices in the textile market really touched countless textile hearts. Not long ago, the listing of short fiber futures and the daily limit of 4 times in 6 days was even more "high inventory" in the minds of polyester manufacturers. "The pain brings hope.
Textiles are just about polyester fibers, and they cannot avoid PTT. So what exactly does PTT mean in their mouths?
PTT fiber is the abbreviation of polypropylene glycol terephthalate fiber. It is a member of the polyester family and belongs to the same family as PET and PBT. Research on the development of
PTT polymers can be traced back to 1941. In the 1990s, PTT was developed due to the industrial production of cheap 1,3 propylene glycol monomers (PDO).
Next, DuPont, the United States successfully used biotechnology to extract 1,3 propylene glycol from cheap fermentable carbohydrates such as corn. It is precisely because of the introduction of 1,3 propylene glycol that its molecular bonds have a Z-shaped folding line structure.
We have PTT fibers that now have better advantages than polyester and nylon, that is, they feel soft and have high stretch recovery (even if they stretch 120%, they can reach 100% recovery).
At the same time, PTT fiber is easier to dye, easier to care, better wash fastness and resistance to ultraviolet rays.
You can even evaluate it like this, PTT fiber has both polyester and nylon properties.
, in addition to its good anti-fouling performance, has an elasticity as good as spandex fiber. It is easier to process than elastic fiber spandex, and is very suitable for textile and clothing fabrics.
and PTT fabrics have comfortable elasticity, which is significantly better than polyester PET, polybutylene terephthalate PBT and polypropylene PP fibers. Although
PTT is not a new type of polymer, the technological development around this polymer seems to provide many opportunities for the carpet industry, textile industry, membrane and packaging markets, as well as some other markets.
You can use needle and hydrotum processing methods to make a mixture of PTT staple fibers with other fibers such as PET, nylon and polypropylene fibers into various nonwoven fabrics. These nonwoven fabrics made of PTT staple fibers are characterized by a good feel and highly fluffy.
In addition, PTT fiber can also be used to make ultrafine denier leather, and various nonwoven products made with PTT fiber as the basic raw material have two major advantages, namely, they are soft and resistant to gamma ray radiation.
As a polymer fiber, I believe PTT can definitely shine in the future market with its excellent performance.
I hope that all manufacturers will not be anxious or panic when facing the current high inventory of PTT. We are all difficult this year, but the night before dawn is the darkest, and I believe that I can survive.
Come on, textile man!
