On the basis of traditional application areas, China's polyester DTY industry continues to expand emerging application areas and show a diversified development trend. The following are its main emerging application areas:
1. High-performance sports equipment and outdoor products
With the increasing demand of consumers for functional fabrics, polyester DTY has the characteristics of breathability, quick drying, and wrinkle resistance through finishing technologies such as microporous structure and hydrophilic modification, which meets the needs of high-performance sports equipment and outdoor products. For example, polyester DTY is widely used in high-end sportswear, mountaineering equipment, ski suits and other products.
2. Smart textiles
The development of smart textiles has brought new opportunities for polyester DTY. By integrating sensors and conductive fibers, polyester DTY can realize data collection and interaction functions, which can be used to develop smart clothing with functions such as health monitoring and environmental perception.
3. Environmental protection and sustainable fields
The improvement of environmental awareness has prompted the polyester DTY industry to transform towards green. The accelerated commercialization of recycled polyester and bio-based polyester has promoted the application of polyester DTY in environmentally friendly textiles and reduced dependence on petrochemical resources. In addition, the application of polyester DTY in the field of biodegradable materials and recycling is also gradually expanding.
4. Industrial Textiles
Polyester DTY is increasingly used in the field of industrial textiles, including automotive interiors, airbags, building sound insulation materials, aviation materials, etc. Its high strength, durability and good physical properties make it an ideal material for these fields.
5. Medical and sanitary products
Polyester DTY has special functions such as waterproof, antibacterial and UV protection through modification, and can be used to produce medical protective clothing, masks, medical gauze and other medical supplies. In addition, the application of polyester DTY in disposable sanitary products such as sanitary napkins and baby diapers is also increasing.
