The 29th International Science and Technology Exhibition on Household Paper (CIDPEX 2022) was held at the Wuhan International Expo Center on July 29-31, and the market for household paper and sanitary products under the epidemic was active, with sweat and bitter smiles common in difficult times emerging on the faces of the people coming and going. At the exhibition, people within social distance gathered together. At this time, the strugglers in the industry devoted themselves to active and sincere value output, showing that the displayed schemes, equipment, raw materials and finished products were all good and effective, showing their strength and fairness. The exhibition was the adhesive for the industry to tide over the difficulties together.

Spunbond glue

In the second century AD, Cai Lun, a court official in the Eastern Han Dynasty, mashed the bark to make sticky oars, and shaped the oars with bamboo nets to make tightly connected paper. Cai Lun papermaking is the first application of non-woven technology and the practical source of modern non-woven. Non-woven or non-woven has been a technical discipline for less than a hundred years. In 1942, a revolutionary new non-woven (Nonwoven) was first published in American magazines and introduced as a "glued fiber web". In 1962, the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) described it as "carded fiber web bonded by glue". The new definition of the American Nonwovens Association (INDA) continues the meaning of bonding into a web and adds the web with the times, "Glue" is removed. There are many ways to form a non-woven fiber web, and stickiness is the core of the process. The phenomenon of stickiness is recorded in the popular science book "Mengxi Pen Talk" of the Song Dynasty. Silkworms that are about to spin silk will stick to the ground when they fall off and spin silk continuously, forming flat cocoons or cocoon paper. Isn't this the principle of spunbond? The same fiber thermal bonding structure also has the most common egg shell, which is full of natural works and can be cited.

After more than half a century of exploration, the non-woven process has gradually matured, and the adhesive and no glue has become a major goal pursued by the industry. Hengchang Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd., from Anqing City, a national new textile base, is involved in all equipment from the head to the back of the non-woven fabric. Among them, the high-speed full-automatic hot-air non-woven fabric production line, disposable sanitary products forming machine and packaging machine are mainly for foreign countries. Standing at the highest point of manufacturing in China, Hengchang's sustainability goal is to provide customers all over the world and the industry with truly dispersible and degradable equipment. The company is aiming at the latest application technology of ultrasonic to help the spunbond process chain without glue.

The pain of the period

"Life is like a ferry, with happiness on one side and pain on the other." This is not the lament of life, but the dialectical portrayal of things. Ten years back, if at the Shanghai industrial fabric and non-woven fabric exhibition, from equipment manufacturers to raw materials, heads to terminals, what they heard and saw were all exciting news. At that time, people liked to mention the annual growth rate, and a 20% increase would not make life envious. This shows how good the industrial situation was at that time.
Over the past two years, the non-woven industry experienced the epidemic brought about by the demand, the overall return to stability, 2022 peers are trying to maintain stability, steady plate does not retreat. Such as the high-speed stop of the convoy, unable to move the pain can be imagined. To sort out, there are three factors in the current pain of the industry.

First, repeated outbreaks at home and abroad and soaring oil prices have made supply chains more difficult than expected. Mr. Yuan Jun, general manager of Hengchang Machinery Marketing Department, said frankly that from April to May this year, the company's foreign trade business was greatly affected. Imported spare parts could not be cleared in time, and export equipment could not be shipped normally.

"Since the beginning of this year, the cost of logistics and transportation has increased significantly, as high as 30% in the first half of the year; due to the explosive increase of non-woven enterprises in Shandong Province in recent years, the market competition is fierce." Mr. Zhao Huaixiang, sales manager of Shandong Tengzhou Yongxi Non-woven Fabric Co., Ltd., said.

Secondly, China's non-woven products OEM manufacturing and foreign trade proportion is larger, in the past three years, that is, after the outbreak of the epidemic, the world on a lot of production lines, production capacity increased, which is not conducive to exports, but also caused the domestic industry in the roll. Mr. Gao Fuzhong, the leader of Tianjin Yiyi Sanitary Products Co."

Three is the industry disorderly competition. Mr. Gao Feng, sales director of Sichuan AIA Enterprise Co., Ltd., believes that disorderly competition has led to bad money driving out good money, participants in orderly competition in the market have been crossed, and the effective traditional business model has been destroyed. Mr. Gao has a wealth of economic management knowledge and experience, he called on the non-woven industry should follow the laws of the market, to maintain the healthy development of the industry. Sichuan AIA is an enterprise that entered the field of non-woven medical supplies earlier in China. It regards product quality as the life of the enterprise and has a group of stable and loyal customers.

Li Mei Group focuses on non-woven fabrics, medical masks and accessories, defense supplies ODM, OEM production and processing and export trade. Mr. Jing Hengjie and Mr. Lin Penghao are two young people from Li Mei's companies in Shehong and Dongguan respectively. At the exhibition, Mr. Jing Hengjie told the story of Shehong's opening of the factory.

On February 8, 2020, Mr. Zhao Xinghong, Chairman of Limei Group, celebrated the Spring Festival in his hometown of Shehong, and the sudden outbreak of the new crown required everyone to wear a mask. Masks were originally Zhao's industry, because his factory in Dongguan produced masks and also made mask machines. With the full support of the local government and after some emergency preparations, on February 15, the first batch of masks in Limei went offline in Shehong, and the villagers in the county soon had masks.

Zhao Zong decided to continue to feed his hometown and set up a medical supplies factory. In the past two and a half years, Limei Company has newly entered the meltblown non-woven fabric production line in its local factory and built a medical R & D center, which has become a model for returning home to start a business. Mr. Lin Penghao of Dongguan Company is as young and talkative as he is. He is the backbone of the company's business and is optimistic about the company's expansion and industry prospects. He said that disposable non-woven products, including wet wipes, cotton soft wipes, compressed towels and bath towels, have been used abroad for more than ten years and have a high market share. In recent years, the number of domestic factories has increased, indicating that consumption is forming and the market is expanding. The economic difficulties caused by the outbreak are temporary, and the Lime team is optimistic about the outlook.

Focus on CIDPEX: Truzschler 3.8 m Double Comb Hot Air Line Launches in the World
