After 14 years of persistence, the continuous release of China's fiber fashion trend has provided a sample for the development of the global fiber industry.

　　 In order to let downstream and mass consumers know more about Chinese fiber stories, Textile and Garment Weekly and China Chemical Fiber Industry Association jointly launched a series of reports on "Approaching Chinese Fiber". Through in-depth exploration of the popular trend of Tongkun • Chinese fiber 2025/2026, they released vivid stories of enterprise growth and revealed fresh cases of cutting-edge research and development, It comprehensively demonstrates the unremitting exploration and outstanding contributions of Chinese fiber enterprises on the road of technological innovation, explains how they have a forward-looking vision and strong strength, and drives the whole fiber industry to a higher level of development.

　　 In the competitive business world, every successful enterprise must have its own unique place. Shanghai Defulun New Material Technology Co., Ltd. is no exception. Relying on scientific and technological means, it adheres to the path of "specialized, refined, special and new" differentiated development, and continues to deepen the cultivation of differentiated polyester new materials, becoming one of the leading enterprises of differentiated polyester staple fiber in China. Recently, its impermeable and UV resistant recycled polyester fiber was successfully selected into the Tongkun • China Fiber Fashion Trend 2025/2026. This honor is not only a recognition of the technical strength of Devlon, but also a strong witness of its continuous exploration and breakthrough in the field of differentiated fibers.

　　 From basic research and development to market service, The whole industry chain innovation system creates unique advantages

　　 Shanghai Devlon was born in 2003. It was relocated and invested by Shanghai Textile (Group) Co., Ltd. to Shanghai No. 10 Chemical Fiber Factory, the first professional polyester staple fiber manufacturer in China, which was founded in 1966. It carries a heavy historical background and vigorous innovation vitality. Over the years, with its outstanding strength and unremitting efforts, it has won many honors, such as the national "specialized and new" small giant enterprise, the key high-tech enterprise of the National Torch Plan, and the national "green factory".

　　 When it comes to the title of the leading enterprise of differential polyester staple fiber, Hao Dan, director of Shanghai Deflund Brand Management Office, believes that this is the credit of the whole industrial chain system that the company has meticulously built over the years, from basic research and development to market service.

　　 Devron has a complete and efficient R&D system and process. The company has set up several R&D bases and centers, which provide solid hardware support for the company's R&D work. In terms of R&D mode, the company has adopted the open cooperation mode of "collaborative innovation", cooperated with many scientific research institutions, and built bridges connecting academia and industry. In the process of R&D, the company pays special attention to technical transformation and equipment investment, and the annual R&D expenditure accounts for no less than 5% of the sales revenue in the same period, to ensure flexible and diversified production of products and provide hardware guarantee for product innovation. At the same time, the company also actively promotes "government, industry, university, research and application" collaborative innovation, integrates upstream and downstream resources of the industrial chain, and leads all forces to jointly promote technology upgrading and product innovation.

　　 The research and development process of this product is full of innovation and challenges, taking as an example the anti penetration and anti ultraviolet recycled polyester fiber selected for Tongkun • China Fiber Fashion Trend 2025/2026. Before R&D, the R&D team conducted in-depth research on market demand and technology development, which defined the direction for product R&D. However, the research and development process was not smooth, and the team encountered many technical problems. Among them, the biggest problem is how to evenly disperse nano functional powder in the fiber to achieve the ideal anti permeability and anti ultraviolet performance, while avoiding fiber fracture and processing performance degradation caused by particle agglomeration. In the face of this problem, the R&D team of Deflund has made full use of multiple resources to overcome this problem, which has injected new impetus into the development of the company.

　　 Small batch, customized, high added value, Provide differentiated development paradigm for the industry

　　 As one of the leading enterprises in the field of differentiated polyester staple fiber in China, Shanghai Deflon currently has four domestic advanced flexible production lines for post spinning treatment of polyester staple fiber. In addition to the production of conventional fibers, it mainly produces six categories of polyester products, including fine denier, profiled, modified, functional, colored and bio based polyester products, and has launched the German series The four major fibers of Fu series, Lun series and original liquid coloring Fengcai series are widely used in various clothing, home textile, high-speed railway, domestic aircraft, brand cars and the world's high-end yacht fabric raw materials.

　　 Over the years, the innovation practice of Deforum has had a multi-dimensional impact on the upgrading of China's fiber industry: first, promote the emission reduction of the whole industry chain through the green technology system, and help the country to achieve the "double carbon" goal; Second, functional products have expanded the application of chemical fiber in the non textile field, such as space suits, yacht interiors, etc., improving the added value of the industry; Third, accelerate technology transformation through industry university research cooperation, and promote the overall innovation capability of the industry. Although the company is limited in scale, its "small batch, customized, high added value" model provides a differentiated development paradigm for the industry.

　　 Taking green fiber as an example, Deforum actively responded to the national call for green development, put the concept of sustainable development into every link of brand growth, introduced green R&D and green process in the whole life cycle of the product, and developed coffee carbon polyester fiber, liquid colored recycled polyester fiber Bio based PTT fiber, Poly lactic acid fiber, PLA/PHBV blend fiber, biodegradable PGA fiber, biodegradable polyester fiber, all bio based polyester fiber, etc., lead the modern textile industry into a pollution-free low-carbon era.

　　 In March this year, Deflund cooperated with Hefei Lifu Biotechnology Co., Ltd. to successfully produce BioFleax PEF fiber, which uses 100% non grain biomass as raw material to achieve carbon emission reduction in the whole life cycle through a closed-loop cycle system, reducing carbon emissions by about 50% compared with traditional materials, and has high thermal stability, low processing energy consumption, natural bacteriostasis, UV resistance, moisture absorption and breathability, etc, It provides a new environmental protection path for the green transformation of the textile industry. In addition, the bio based PLA fiber developed by the company is famous for its degradability, which provides innovative solutions for the sustainable life cycle management of textiles.

　　 In the field of functional fibers, Devlon has developed multifunctional product systems covering antibacterial, flame retardant, UV resistant, heat storage and insulation, far infrared and other functions. For example, "silver and zinc double compound bacteriostatic polylactic acid fiber" and "green space fiber flame retardant recycled polyester fiber" have been selected into the popular trend of Chinese fiber, and are widely used in high-end fields such as aviation and high-speed railway; High efficiency heat storage and insulation fiber can realize "active" energy storage by absorbing light energy and reflecting human body heat, significantly improving the warmth retention performance of winter clothing. In 2024, the "ultra-high TiO2 content PET staple fiber" developed by the company in cooperation with Shaoxing Huiqun broke through the performance bottleneck of all matt fabrics, and solved the problem that high-end impervious fabrics depended on imports. The R&D project of furan based polyester PET staple fiber, which was in line with the international frontier, promoted the industrialization process of bio based materials and filled the domestic technical gap.

　　 These innovative achievements not only meet the demand of the market for high-performance and differentiated fibers, but also lead the technical direction of the industry.

　　 Three ends of power generation, Let fiber create more possibilities

　　 With the rapid development of science and technology, the field of fiber materials is moving towards green environmental protection, functional strengthening, intelligent upgrading and sustainable development at an unprecedented speed.
