Aerogel fibers
Qingfeng Chemical Fibers
Some Application Areas and Cases
Aerogel fibers have a broad range of applications in the textile industry. The following are some specific application areas and cases of Qingfeng Chemical Fiber’s aerogel fibers:
Sports and Outdoor Apparel Field
The GelFib project jointly carried out by Qingfeng Chemical Fiber and the graduate student team of Beijing University of Chemical Technology aims to develop lightweight woven fabrics for sportswear. The adopted Qingfeng® aerogel fibers possess better heat insulation and breathability properties, along with softness and elasticity, providing a completely new solution to replace the current sportswear fabrics.
Cold-Protection and Warmth-keeping Apparel Field
The “Ichibanboshi Research Group” incubated by Qingfeng Chemical Fiber has broken through the traditional pattern in the market where “aerogel fiber slices are added to cold-prone parts such as knees, shoulders, necks, and abdomens to enhance cold resistance.” Instead, it uses the aerogel fabrics and fillers independently developed by Qingfeng to create truly super warm cold-protection and warmth-keeping apparel. In the comparison test of thermal insulation performance, the Jade Rabbit series products, with a thickness of only 2/3 to 2/5 of that of down jackets, completely outperform traditional warm clothing such as down jackets and wool sweaters. They can maintain heat insulation performance for a long time in extremely cold environments below -20°C and can be widely used in the field of cold-protection and warmth-keeping apparel. Qingfeng® aerogel fiber truly realizes the extraordinary comfort experience of being “light as air and warm as a hug”.
Functional Fabric Field
Qingfeng Chemical Fiber and its partners jointly create aerogel fiber functional fabrics. Through the original yarn design and the combination of the GelFib technology of aerogel fibers, the fabrics are lightweight, highly elastic, and possess the characteristics of warmth preservation, cold protection, environmental protection, and fashion, providing new choices for clothing brands and designers in fabric innovation and environmental protection.
Intelligent Textile Field
Qingfeng Chemical Fiber actively cooperates with partners to develop intelligent heat storage and temperature-regulating nano-aerogel fibers. The research directions include intelligent temperature-regulating clothing, bedding, shoe linings, etc. Currently, there are customer sampling projects such as bedding and high-end suitcases.
Home Textile and Underwear Field
The aerogel fabrics of Qingfeng Chemical Fiber are woven with Qingfeng® aerogel yarns. The fabrics have four-sided high elasticity, are soft and skin-friendly, resistant to cold and can lock in temperature, warm and breathable, and possess the characteristic of long-lasting antibacterial function. They are suitable for products such as thermal underwear, outdoor base layers, and children’s knitting. Currently, there are bedding products such as quilts and pillows sampled and finalized by Japanese and South Korean customers.
In the promising year of 2025, Qingfeng Chemical Fiber adheres to the concept of open and win-win cooperation. It will build and share an industrial innovation platform with small and medium-sized enterprises, export technological, brand, and management advantages, assist small and medium-sized enterprises in incubating innovative projects, improving product quality, and expanding market channels. It will lead the development of the industry cluster with the responsibility of a leading enterprise, expand the industrial ecological community, and share the development dividends.
