Introduction: Speaking of spandex, it is undeniable that Lycra is still the leader in the international market, but for more Chinese companies, Hyosung spandex seems to be more familiar. Hyosung started to get involved in the spandex industry in 1992. After more than 20 years of development, it has become the company with the highest market share of spandex in the world.
In order to supply high-quality products more stably and respond more quickly to the vast needs of customers, Hyosung Spandex has not only its production base in South Korea, but also overseas factories in China, Turkey, Vietnam, and Brazil. In 2001, Hyosung spandex officially entered the Chinese market. After setting up a factory in Jiaxing, it invested in and built a spandex factory in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province with a production capacity of 40,000 tons, bringing Hyosung’s total spandex production capacity to 80,000 tons/year.
Today, Hyosung Spandex has become the world’s largest spandex brand supplier with its first-class R&D technology and excellent sales strategy. Its spandex brand creora® is as famous as LYCRA and has become an inspection-free label entering the European and American markets, becoming the world’s largest spandex brand. A benchmark enterprise in the spandex market.
In the past two years, the domestic spandex market has continued to be weak and spandex prices have continued to decline. Against this background, Hyosung spandex’s new projects are being deployed in full swing. As a leading company in the global spandex market, what are the advantages of Hyosung spandex? What’s its winning formula? In early June, the analyst team of China Silk City Network was very fortunate to come to Hyosung Spandex (Jiaxing) Co., Ltd. for an on-site visit.
Before this enterprise survey, the author’s understanding of spandex was limited to superficial understandings such as good elasticity, 30D/40D, and poor color fastness. In addition, this year, the mechanical elasticity of Shengze area is good, but the weak spandex fabric market has deepened the author’s prejudice against spandex fiber. It is estimated that many people will think that spandex fabrics often have poor color fastness. After wearing the fabric for a period of time, It will also age, which is really not ideal in terms of productivity and practicality.
However, this trip to Hyosung Spandex made me deeply feel that it is not the spandex product that is bad. To a large extent, we are not using spandex properly.
If the color fastness of spandex fabric is not good, it can basically only reach level 3. is that so?
Correcting the name of spandex: The color fastness of Hyosung spandex creora color + spandex can reach level 4. This is true.
creora color+ spandex shows excellent dyeability and color fastness when interwoven with nylon, and the spandex does not show white when producing dark and special color products. The data provided by the laboratory shows that the color fastness of creora color+ spandex is fuller and the color fastness is higher than that of similar products on the market, which effectively solves the practical problem of unsatisfactory color fastness of spandex fabrics.
Spandex fabric cannot be made into extra black fabric, and the fabric will remain polarized after dyeing. is that so?
Correcting the name of spandex:creora Black high-elastic pure black spandex is spun through the masterbatch method to restore the purest color of black fabrics.
Fabrics made of creora Black spandex fundamentally eliminate the whitening phenomenon. At the same time, the fabric maintains a uniform deep black color when stretched. Customers no longer have to worry about the fabric always having a reddish or bluish glow.
Nowadays, there are more and more elastic fibers such as T400 and CEY, which are much cheaper than spandex. The market share of spandex is shrinking. is that so?
Correcting the name of spandex: creora takes the mid-to-high-end differentiated route. Other elastic fibers only impact the low-end spandex market. The demand for mid-to-high-end spandex is still growing.
For example, some low-end spandex elastic fabrics do have great shortcomings in terms of color fastness, anti-aging, and resilience. Compared with the mechanical stretch fibers that are very popular this year, the price is still higher. In some cases where elasticity is required, On low-priced fabrics, mechanical elastic fabrics do perform better. However, in the mid-to-high-end fabric market, the market position of spandex is unshakable. Hyosung spandex adheres to the differentiated route of the mid-to-high-end market. Currently, Hyosung spandex has 10 categories of products. High-elastic, chlorine-resistant, super-soft, environmentally friendly, ultra-fine denier, and personal hygiene products are all the main products of Hyosung spandex. . It is reported that the current mainstream trend of domestic spandex is also developing in these aspects. Hyosung spandex continues to develop and innovate, and continues to create excellent quality and high-value products for customers.
During this survey, Hyosung Spandex Section Chief Cao introduced to the author that Hyosung Spandex has 15,000 tons of spandex.The project has been launched in Quzhou and will be officially put into production this year. In the next few years, Hyosung Spandex will continue to add differentiated spandex devices. The spandex industry will face a major reshuffle in the next few years. The voice of major manufacturers will become more concentrated and market competition will also increase. Present a more rational posture.
