Aerogel fibers
Polyester, as the most common chemical fiber, has a low cost and high strength. However, its breathability and thermal insulation performance have always been unable to break through the bottleneck, and it has long been labeled as “cheap” and “mediocre”.
Aerogel is known as “the lightest solid in the world”. Its thermal conductivity is only half that of air, and its thermal insulation performance far exceeds that of traditional materials, making it the core material of the thermal insulation layer in aerospace.
So, can these two materials be combined?
As the “nanomagician”, can aerogel endow polyester fibers with subversive thermal insulation performance?
Qingfeng Chemical Fiber has been focusing on the innovative research and development of new chemical fiber technologies and products since 2010, and has rich experience in enhancing the added value and technical content of traditional chemical fiber materials.
In 2017, relying on its technical accumulation and its own advantages, it began to enter the research and development of aerogel fibers. Until 2023, it completely solved the industry problems and truly achieved the perfect combination of aerogel and polyester fibers.
After more than a year of precipitation, the aerogel fiber technology of Qingfeng Chemical Fiber has now reached the top of the industry.
Other products on the market have technical limitations:
Generally, the aerogel content is around 1.5%, and the particles are easy to fall off, resulting in a significant reduction in the thermal insulation effect;
A certain brand of “aerogel cold-proof clothing” was exposed that its actual components were ordinary polyester + aerogel coating, and users reported that they would be “completely frozen through at 6℃”;
Some manufacturers have reduced the porosity due to the use of adhesives, and the thermal insulation performance is less than one-third of what is advertised.
However, the aerogel content of Qingfeng’s aerogel fiber is close to 3%, and the two materials are uniformly compounded. This not only makes the “polyester raw material” radiate a warmth that exceeds that of down, writing a “turning stone into gold” legend in the textile industry, but also completely solves the pain point of durability.
The combination of aerogel and polyester is a romantic symbiosis between the “luxury technology” and the “common fiber” in the field of materials science, and it is also Qingfeng Chemical Fiber’s redefinition of “warmth”.
In the current situation where technical barriers and market chaos coexist, Qingfeng Chemical Fiber, with its solid research and development strength and industrialization capabilities, provides the market with a truly reliable “future-level” thermal insulation solution.
Qingfeng’s aerogel fiber is writing a new chapter in the textile industry’s transformation from “manufacturing” to “intelligent manufacturing”.
