Printing and dyeing industry agglomeration and upgrading require new technologies

The "Circular Economy Experts" activity organized by the National Development and Reform Commission and the Chinese Academy of Engineering has recently come to the Binhai Industrial Zone to "pull" the development of printing and dyeing industry clustering in our county. In an exclusive interview with this reporter, Jin Yong, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that in order to achieve the goal of energy-saving and emission-reduction in the printing and dyeing industry cluster, the company must pay attention to the promotion and application of advanced equipment and technology while accelerating the upgrading of enterprises.

Dyeing and finishing is an important part of textile production. Dyeing and finishing technology is advanced or not, which directly affects the use value of textiles. Jin Yong pointed out that one of the key tasks of the technological advancement of the textile industry during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period is to increase the research and development and promotion of printing and dyeing efficient short-flow process pretreatment technology, waterless watermark dyeing technology, and functional finishing technology, focusing on development. Less water and high-tech without watermarking and dyeing provide technical support for the industry to achieve cleaner production and improve sustainable development capabilities. Among them, the new transfer printing technology is an important way to realize the technology of less water and no watermark dyeing. The key technologies to be further solved in the future are three aspects: first, the development of transfer printing combined with digital inkjet paper; and second, the expansion of natural fibers. Transfer printing chromatography improves color fastness; third is to explore transfer printing and paperless printing processes and equipment.

"The advanced printing and dyeing finishing technology in the actual application of the company, the added value of the products will be able to effectively enhance, so the use of sustainable development of new technologies, new processes for the current printing and dyeing enterprises to achieve a strong support for circular economy and transformation and upgrading "Jin Yong pointed out that if companies match their actual production and rational application, new processes and new technologies can bring more economic benefits to the company.
