More high-tech synthetic fibres to be featured in the pavilion; Overseas exhibitors to bring new collections of natural yarns
Held in a new venue this year, Yarn Expo Spring 2015 will return to Shanghai from 18 – 20 March 2015 in Hall 7.2 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center. Known for providing the industry with the most sophisticated synthetic fibres and nature yarns, this edition continues to offer a wide range of fibre and yarn products.
After receiving much positive feedback last year, the Chinese Fibre Pavilion will return once again in the Spring Edition with a highlighted zone to promote the usage of biochemical fibres: the Bio Fibre Zone. Unlike traditional man-made fibres which stem from crude oil, biochemical fibre is made with renewable bio materials.
Commenting on the unique zone, Ms Wendy Wen, Senior General Manager at Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, said: “Biochemical fibre will be the next hot product in China as developing renewable materials is a big focus of the country’s 13th five-year plan that runs from 2016 to 2020.”
Besides the Bio Fibre Zone, more renewable fibres from nine exhibitors can be found in the Renewable and Recycled Zone. Different from products shown in the Bio Fibre Zone, the ones here are made in a low energy consumption and carbon emission production process.
More high-tech synthetic fibres to be featured in the pavilion
Several other special zones in the pavilion will showcase different innovative fibres and yarns. For example, the Advanced Cottony Polyester Fibre Zone will feature the newly developed Super Imitation Cotton fibres that can be used in sportswear and denim fabrics. In a new addition to the fair, visitors can feel and visualise how these new products are better than others in terms of moisture absorption, softness and pilling resistance via a series of live demonstrations.
Another two zones, namely the Specialty Fibre Zone and Functional Fibre Zone, will be located in the pavilion as well. Visitor can find carbon fibres, heat-resistant Para-Aramid fibres, high-strength UHMWPE fibres and polyimide fibres in these two areas, as well as other functional fibres which are flame retardant and odour eliminating.
Overseas exhibitors to bring new collections of natural yarns
Other than synthetic fibres, overseas exhibitors will bring new collections of natural yarns to the fair. Mundifios from Portugal, for instance, will bring their new collection of compact melange yarns and wool / linen blended yarns. Moreover, Shahid Textile Ltd from Hong Kong will bring 100% cotton grey yarn from reputable Pakistani spinners. What’s more, exhibitors in the Indian Pavilion and the Pakistani zone will also display their high-count cotton yarn featuring advanced technologies.
The fair will be held concurrently with another three textile trade events: Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics – Spring Edition 2015, PH Value 2015 and China International Fashion Fair 2015 (CHIC), bringing apparel fabrics, yarn and fibres, knitwear and other fashion garments under one roof.
Yarn Expo showcases a wide spectrum of natural and blended yarns including cotton, wool, flax / regenerated flax, and man-made fibres and yarns as well as specialty products including elastic, and fancy and blended yarns.
Yarn Expo Spring is organised by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd; the Sub-Council of Textile Industry, CCPIT; China Cotton Textile Association; China Wool Textile Association; China Chemical Fiber Association; China Bast & Leaf Fibres Textiles Association; and China Textile Information Centre.
