Antai Textile: Dope Dyeing Technology Leads Acrylic Innovation, Green Products Empower High-Quality Development of the Textile Industry

As of July 2025, China's textile industry is accelerating forward with the vitality of midsummer. The latest data from the National Bureau of Statistics shows that the output of yarn, cloth, chemical fiber, and clothing of enterprises above designated size increased by 4.9%, 0.2%, 5.5%, and 0.3% year-on-year respectively. The continuous vitality of the consumer market has injected strong momentum into the industrial chain. In this positive development trend, Antai Textile Co., Ltd., located in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu Province, this established enterprise that has been deeply rooted in the textile field since 1993, is writing a new chapter in the acrylic product track with its keen insight into market trends and product innovation capabilities. "The recent overall growth in industry data, especially the steady increase in chemical fiber output, confirms our judgment on market demand," said Li Xiong, Marketing Manager of Antai Textile, when analyzing the current industry situation. "Consumers have increasingly higher requirements for color diversity, functionality, and environmental friendliness of textiles, which highly aligns with the development direction of our main products: acrylic yarn, acrylic top, colored acrylic top, and fancy yarn." Manager Li's view echoes the application trend of "dope-dyed polyester fiber" mentioned by Huilong New Materials in recent investor interactions. Although the product categories are different, Antai Textile has long been deeply engaged in the field of colored acrylic top for many years. The colored acrylic top produced using advanced dope dyeing technology has significant advantages such as high color fastness, pure color, energy conservation, and environmental protection. It can be directly used for spinning without subsequent dyeing, greatly reducing environmental pollution and energy consumption caused by traditional dyeing processes, perfectly meeting the urgent demand for green and environmentally friendly products in current home textiles, clothing fabrics and other fields. Facing the complex and changeable raw material market, Antai Textile has demonstrated strong supply chain resilience and cost control capabilities. In early July, the news that Shandong Haijiang's 130,000-ton/year acrylonitrile unit was temporarily shut down for maintenance once aroused industry concerns about raw material supply. As a key raw material for acrylic production, acrylonitrile's price fluctuations and supply stability are crucial to the production and operation of acrylic enterprises. "We are closely monitoring the dynamics of Jilin Petrochemical's 260,000-ton/year acrylonitrile expansion unit, which is scheduled to start production at the end of the month; this will effectively ease market supply pressure," introduced Director Huang of the Production Department. "At the same time, in response to the recent decline in the spot quotation of Lihuayi acrylonitrile, our purchasing team responded quickly. By optimizing procurement strategies and combining with the company's long-established stable supply channels, we have ensured the controllability of raw material costs. As of July 9, the inventory of domestic acrylonitrile plants has increased, which provides a stronger guarantee for our subsequent full-load production." Director Huang emphasized that Antai Textile has a large-scale production base and an advanced production management system in Zhangjiagang, enabling it to quickly adjust production plans to respond to market changes. It is this flexible mechanism of 'producing according to sales and promoting sales through production' that enables the company to fully release production capacity and meet customer order demand against the backdrop of the overall positive chemical fiber market. In a market environment where prices of some polyester products in the industry have fluctuated, such as the partial price reduction of polyester filament by Zhejiang Kaishi and the stable price of pure polyester yarn by Hangzhou Juqian Textile, Antai Textile has maintained a steady development trend by virtue of its differentiated product structure advantages. The company not only provides conventional acrylic products but also focuses on developing various fancy yarns. Through unique process design and yarn structure, it endows textiles with a stronger sense of fashion and added value, which is deeply favored by downstream brand customers. "Our fancy yarns, whether in the knitting or weaving field, can bring unique visual and tactile effects to fabrics, helping customers stand out in the fierce market competition," Manager Li Xiong added. "With the continuous upgrading of the consumer market, the demand for personalization and customization is growing, which is exactly the vast blue ocean for our fancy yarn business." Rooted in the textile industry for over 30 years, Antai Textile has always adhered to the development philosophy of "quality-oriented, innovation-driven". From initial single-variety production, it has gradually developed into a comprehensive textile enterprise covering acrylic yarn, acrylic top, colored acrylic top, and various fancy yarns. Relying on excellent product quality, a rich product line, and a professional service team, the company has won long-term trust and cooperation from many well-known domestic and foreign home textile and clothing brands. Looking forward to the future, Antai Textile will continue to focus on its main business, keep up with industry development trends, continuously increase investment in technological research and development, optimize product structure, and enhance core competitiveness. While creating greater value for customers, it will also contribute "Antai Power" to the high-quality development of China's textile industry. In this era full of opportunities and challenges, Antai Textile is steadily moving towards a broader future with its profound industry accumulation and forward-looking market vision.
