Nylon, especially ultra-fine denier products, is famous for its soft, smooth and waxy feel. It has always been the best choice for light down jackets and cotton jackets, but the price is also relatively high. In recent years, many factories have begun to work hard on polyester taffeta, striving to make the feel of polyester taffeta comparable to that of nylon. At the same time, they have taken advantage of the price advantage of polyester taffeta to seize the market. The results have been quite remarkable. Now there are a large number of polyester taffeta on the market. Multi-F polyester taffeta has caught up with nylon in terms of hand feel and has won the favor of a large number of customers, and the supply exceeds demand.
Polyester taffeta, a thin all-polyester fabric, is mostly woven with polyester filaments sprayed with horizontal grains. It can be used as both fabric and lining. It is the most common in the Shengze fabric market. For the most common polyester taffeta, the market once had a large inventory backlog that was difficult to digest. With long-term inventory backlog, many manufacturers sold their inventory at low prices to raise funds and tide over the difficulties.
However, in the second half of last year, the weaving market suddenly became extremely hot. I happily spent the golden October and ushered in the platinum November. During that time, the market was dominated by nylon yarn, polyester taffeta, imitation memory and four-way elastic. There has been a frantic rush to buy similar fabrics and they are sold out. In particular, the polyester taffeta manufacturers, which have accumulated inventory for several years, are even more “hot”. The inventory accumulated for several years is not only sold out, but there is not even enough to sell, and the price changes every day. The picture below shows the chat conversation between the author and a polyester taffeta weaving manufacturer in early November last year.
With a snap of the fingers, I heard that polyester taffeta products have once again experienced a “hot” market during this period. According to market participants, at this stage, the two products, 300T multi-F semi-gloss polyester taffeta and 300T multi-F matte polyester taffeta, are in short supply and sold out.
1. 300T multi-F semi-gloss polyester taffeta
The fabric specification is 50D/72F*50D/72F. It is understood that the current price of gray fabric on the market is about 2.6 yuan/meter, and the corresponding price of semi-gloss nylon gray fabric is about 4.0 yuan/meter.
2. 300T multi-F matte polyester taffeta
The fabric specification is 50D/72F*50D/72F. The current price of this gray fabric on the market is about 2.8 yuan/meter, and the corresponding price of matte nylon is about 4.3 yuan/meter.
Why are these two products so popular?
First of all, of course, there is the price advantage. According to market manufacturers, the price of polyester taffeta products has increased by nearly 0.3-0.4 yuan/meter in recent months. However, the corresponding nylon spinning products have increased by nearly 0.8-1.0 yuan/meter. level. With such an obvious price difference, it is obvious that polyester taffeta products have more market advantages.
Secondly, the quality and feel are naturally comparable, comparable to the corresponding nylon yarn. As the market continues to evolve, polyester taffeta products are also constantly improving and developing, which is very different from previous years. These two fabric products are made of multi-F polyester as raw material, which can avoid the fabric from being too stiff while meeting the density requirements.
In addition, the scope of application is relatively wide. After the gray fabric is dyed, printed or coated, compounded, filmed, calendered and other post-processing, the fabric is given a rich and diverse appearance, which not only improves the appearance of the fabric, but also extends the practicality of the fabric. It has excellent performance and is mostly used to make clothing fabrics or high-end linings. For example, this type of polyester taffeta can achieve direct anti-down effect through special anti-down calendering treatment, and can achieve the feel and soft texture of nylon. It is perfect for making high-end lightweight down jacket linings. It is also a good choice for light down clothing; many factories have greatly improved the cost-effectiveness of the fabric through research and development, and the market acceptance is generally high.
