FAQ
Q Spinning vs weaving/knitting?
A
Spinning: fiber → yarn (cotton, synthetics); weaving: yarn → woven fabric (warp/weft); knitting: yarn → knit fabric (looped). Equipment is entirely separate; staff typically specialize.
Q Technical textile growth?
A
Automotive (30-50 kg per vehicle for interior, airbag, filters), medical (masks, gauze, suture), composites (glass/carbon-fiber reinforcement). 5-8% annual growth, far above apparel (1-2%).
Q Dyeing environmental pressure?
A
Traditional dyeing uses 50-200 L water per kg, high COD effluent and carcinogenic azo dyes. EU REACH + ZDHC drive digital printing and supercritical-CO2 waterless dyeing.
