Seacell Fabric & Future Development Prospect

Property of alginate fiber
Property of alginate fiber
1.Biocompatibility and degradability
Alginate fiber is extracted from natural plant components and has biocompatibility and degradability, the environment protection problem generated after the material is used is fundamentally solved, and no damage can be caused to the environment.

2.Antibacterial・Mouldproof 
The antibacterial rate up to 99%, Mouldproof function reaches the highest level of class 0.

3.Flame-retardant performance 
Flame-retardant performance is perfect. the limit oxygen index (LOI) is larger than or equal to 45% without Flame retardant additives。

4.Moisture absorption performance and strength:Moisture regain rate is more than 18%, higher than long-staple cotton, silk feel,Its strength reaches 2.6cN/dtex and can be blended with other fibers.

5. anti-static function:Alginate fiber has good hygroscopic performance, and there is a lot of water on the fiber surface, which can quickly transfer the negative charge on the surface of the fabric, so it has good antistatic performance.

Fabric raw materials Patent application and authorization
  • 29 invention patents were granted at home and abroad and 41 invention patents were applied for (2013-2018).“Method For Preparing Salt-Resistantand Detergent-Resistant Algiinate Fiber”has obtained authorization from China, the United States, Japan, the European Union and South Korea , etc.
  • 2 industry standards and 1 national standard were set.

Core Product
  • Underwear
Alginate fiber has excellent bacteriostatic performance without adding any bacteriostatic agent, and the bacteriostatic rate of escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus reaches 99%. In addition, it has the characteristics of anti-allergy and high hygroscopic skin care, so it is very suitable for making underwear.
Alginate fiber moisture regain rate ≥18%, comfort is better than long staple cotton, comparable to silk, cashmere, can give fabric a better feel, can be used to clean the neutral detergent routine.  It is the ideal material for home clothes and warm clothes
  • Cashmere sweater, cashmere sweater
The high moisture return rate and excellent hand feel of alginate fiber make the comfort of alginate fiber and cashmere fabric with large proportion have no difference with that of pure cashmere fabric, and to a great extent improve the problem that cashmere/wool fabric is prone to static electricity, and endow the fabric with natural antibacterial and mildew proof functions, greatly reducing the cost of fabric.
Alginate fiber has been verified in the medical field for a long time for its safety and skin-friendly properties, as well as its natural bacteriostatic effect. It provides a layer of natural protection for infants' skin, and is a rare natural Marine plant material.
  • Home textiles
Alginate fiber has excellent natural bacteriostatic, mildew proof and flame retardant effects, which can meet the demand of functional fiber raw materials such as fabrics and fillers for home textile products to the greatest extent.

The difference between alginate fiber and other functional fiber
1、The100% raw material for producing alginate fiber is from seadweed in the ocean. There is no substrate and no consumption of land resources.
2、Name of alginate fiber. English name : alginate; It is can be maked in yarn, fabric, clothing according to <ISO2076-2013 textiles-man-mad fibres—Generic names>and <EU1007-2011>.
3、According to the NATIONAL standard "GBT35443-2017 Quantitative Chemical Analysis of the Mixture of alginate fiber and some other fibers", the testing institutions of the three parties can quantitatively detect the content of alginate fiber in the blended yarn and fabric and issue a test report.
4、Alginate fiber has bacteriostatic, mildew proof, flame retardant, high comfort and other properties without functional addition or functional post-finishing.

Future Development Prospect

The development of the alginate fiber has been nearly 80 years . It has been mainly applied to medical dressing. At present, the global production of alginate fiber is less than 2000 tons.

Chinese research team initiated the study of alginate fiber for textile. The application of alginate fiber is expanded greatly . According to our plan, the capacity of alginate fiber will reach tens of thousands to even hundreds of thousands of tons in the future.It will contribute to the sustainable development of fiber applications.
