Radiant Innovations: Exploring the Unique World of Luminous Yarn and its Eco-Friendly Glow
Luminous yarn is a functional textile made of rare earth luminous materials. It can fluoresce in the dark and has special visual effects and decorative properties. There are two main types of luminous yarn: one is luminous printed fabric using luminous printing slurry, and the other is luminous textile made of luminous fiber spun and woven.
Glow-in-the-dark printed fabrics use coating finishing technology to use printing paste added with luminous materials to print patterns on textiles. The processing technology is basically similar to general paint printing, but due to the feel, wearing performance, washing resistance and The luminous effect is poor and the environment is seriously polluted during production and use. Therefore, new luminous fiber fabrics emerged at the historic moment.
Luminous fiber is a new functional and environmentally friendly material made of rare earth luminescent materials. It uses spinning raw materials as the matrix, uses long afterglow rare earth aluminate luminescent materials, and is made into luminous fiber through special spinning. The luminous fiber absorbs visible light for 10 minutes, stores the light energy in the fiber, and continues to glow for more than 10 hours in the dark. The product is non-toxic and safe to use.
At the same time, because the luminescent compound exists uniformly in the entire luminescent fiber, its luminous performance will not be affected by water washing and can be recycled. At present, rare earth colored luminous fibers are produced in China. That is, under the condition of visible light, this luminous fiber can show red, yellow, blue, etc.; under the condition of no visible light, it emits red light, yellow light, green light by itself. Light and other colors of light have special luminous visual effects. This kind of rare earth luminous fiber itself is colorful, and the textile products processed by it do not need to be dyed, which avoids the pollution of the environment by wastewater from the dyeing and finishing process. It can be called a new type of environmentally friendly fiber.
The main reasons why luminous yarn is expensive are as follows:
The raw material of luminous yarn, rare earth luminous material, is a rare resource with limited reserves, high mining costs and large market price fluctuations. Therefore, the cost of luminous yarn is affected by the price of raw materials.
The production process of luminous yarn is complex and requires the use of special spinning technology to evenly mix rare earth luminous materials and spinning raw materials, and control parameters such as spinning temperature, speed, draw ratio, etc. to ensure the quality and performance of luminous fibers, which all increase The production difficulty and investment of luminous yarn are eliminated.
The market demand for luminous yarn is relatively small, and it is mainly used in special fields and occasions, such as night operations, entertainment venues, toys, handicrafts, etc. Therefore, the production scale of luminous yarn is not large and cannot form a scale effect, resulting in the price of luminous yarn being relatively high. high.
The functionality and environmental protection of luminous yarn are its main selling points and have certain added value. Therefore, the price of luminous yarn also reflects the value of its functionality and environmental protection.
