Driven by Green and Intelligent Development, Antai Textile Leads a New Journey of High - quality Development in the Acrylic Fiber Industry

On the banks of the Yangtze River in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu, there is an enterprise named Antai Textile that has been deeply involved in the textile field since 1993. Over the past three decades, it has grown from a small yarn processing factory into a key player in the domestic acrylic yarn field. As the wave of 'green and intelligent' development in the textile industry swept in 2025, this established enterprise is writing a new chapter in the structural adjustment of the acrylic fiber industry with its keen market sense and solid technological accumulation.

'When I was looking through industry reports recently, two sets of data really excited us,' said Li Xiong, the marketing manager of Antai Textile, pointing at the analysis materials on the table with excitement in his eyes. 'It is estimated that the market scale of China's solid - dyed acrylic tweed will exceed 1.5 billion yuan in 2025, and the market of acrylic - cotton colored yarn is sprinting towards 1.5 million tons with an annual compound growth rate of 8.3%. Behind this is the soaring demand for 'high - performance and environmentally friendly yarns' in the downstream clothing and home furnishing industries. And this is exactly the field we have been deeply involved in for many years.'

The 'field of in - depth involvement' Li Xiong mentioned refers to Antai Textile's main products, including acrylic yarn, acrylic tops, colored acrylic tops, and fancy yarns. Among them, colored acrylic tops, as a representative product of the solution - dyed process, have been particularly favored by the market in recent years. 'The traditional dyeing process not only consumes a lot of energy and causes heavy pollution but also has the problem of insufficient color fastness,' explained Li Xiong. 'Our colored acrylic tops are colored at the raw material stage, eliminating the subsequent dyeing process, saving over 30% of water and electricity, and achieving a color fastness of over grade 4. In the past two years, we have cooperated with several leading home furnishing brands in China. Their high - end pillowcases and curtain fabrics use our acrylic tops, and the customers feedback that 'the color uniformity is much better than before and it also meets the environmental protection standards'.'

This market confidence comes from the strong support at the production end. In Antai Textile's intelligent production workshop, Factory Manager Huang of the production department is staring at the跳动的数据 on the central control screen. 'Look at this newly put - into - production acrylic yarn production line. From raw material proportioning to spinning speed, the whole process is controlled by the AI system, and the defective rate is 50% lower than that of traditional equipment,' he said, pointing at the operating robotic arms in the workshop. 'Previously, when changing the yarn variety, workers had to spend two hours adjusting the equipment. Now, the system automatically matches the parameters, and the change can be completed in 20 minutes. This is the efficiency improvement brought by the 'intelligent transformation'.'

Factory Manager Huang's confidence stems from the enterprise's continuous investment in technology research and development. In recent years, in response to the 'dual - carbon' strategy and the requirements of high - quality development in the industry, Antai Textile has invested over 20 million yuan in upgrading the production process. In the application of leveling agents, they cooperated with domestic chemical research institutes and were the first to use environmentally friendly and high - performance leveling agents, increasing the dyeing uniformity of acrylic yarns to over 98%. This indicator exactly fits the industry trend of 'focusing on the research and development of environmentally friendly leveling agents for acrylic fibers in 2025'. 'Now, customers not only look at the product quality but also attach great importance to the green certification of the production process,' added Factory Manager Huang. 'Our workshop has achieved zero sewage discharge, and we also prefer to use recyclable acrylic fibers at the raw material end. Last year, we obtained the national green factory certification.'

From the commissioning of the first acrylic top production line in 1993 to an annual output of over 50,000 tons of acrylic yarns and serving over 200 domestic and foreign clothing and home furnishing enterprises today, Antai Textile's growth trajectory is a microcosm of the development of the Chinese acrylic fiber industry. Data shows that the market scale of China's acrylic fibers reached 35 billion yuan in 2023, accounting for over 45% of the global output. Driven by the '14th Five - Year Plan' and the 'dual - carbon' strategy, the industry is accelerating its transformation towards high - end and intelligent development. Against this background, Antai Textile's product portfolio resonates precisely with market demand: its acrylic yarns target the acrylic - wool product market with an annual scale of 105 billion yuan, and its fancy yarns, with their unique texture effects, have become the 'traffic password' for young clothing brands.

'The industry report says that the future acrylic fiber raw material market will transform towards high - end. We have already made early deployments,' said Li Xiong, standing in the sample room and holding a roll of acrylic yarn with a pearly luster in his hand. 'This is our newly developed 'antibacterial acrylic yarn' with added nano - silver ions, which has a bacteriostatic rate of 99%. It is specifically targeted at the sports clothing and infant fabric markets. We will send samples to international sports brands for testing next month.'

Over three decades of hard work and achievements, from a small factory on the banks of the Yangtze River to an innovative practitioner in the acrylic fiber field, Antai Textile has always been guided by market demand and driven by technological upgrading. As green and intelligent development become the main themes of the textile industry, this established enterprise is steadily moving forward in the new blue ocean of the acrylic fiber industry with the perseverance of an 'old craftsman' and the vitality of a 'new entrepreneur', injecting continuous 'Antai Power' into the high - quality development of the Chinese textile industry.
