Research on the Forming Mechanism and Properties of Polypropylene Fibers with Special Surface Structure

On May 15th, the Forum on the Development of New Quality Productivity in the Polypropylene Industry Chain (Botao 2025) was held in the famous "Crystal Capital" - Donghai, Jiangsu. Chen Xinwei, President of China Chemical Fiber Industry Association, Deng Qingmei, Deputy Director of the Party Committee of Donghai Economic Development Zone, Guo Qinghai, Chairman of Guangdong Mengtai High tech Fiber Co., Ltd. and President of the Polypropylene Branch of China Chemical Fiber Industry Association, Li Zengjun, Vice President of the Polypropylene Branch of China Chemical Fiber Industry Association, Zhang Shitao, President of Hubei Botao Synthetic Fiber Co., Ltd., and nearly 300 representatives from the upstream and downstream of the main polypropylene industry chain in China attended the meeting.

This conference is hosted by the China Chemical Fiber Industry Association, Jiangsu Botao New Materials Co., Ltd., and China Polypropylene Network, and organized by the Polypropylene Branch of the China Chemical Fiber Industry Association. The meeting was chaired by Dou Juan, Secretary General of the Polypropylene Branch of the China Chemical Fiber Industry Association.

Chen Xinwei, President of the China Chemical Fiber Industry Association, stated in his speech that the current polypropylene industry presents three major characteristics: stable production growth, expanded exports, and diversified applications. Enterprises represented by Guangdong Mengtai, Botao Synthetic Fiber, and Jiangsu Haibang are at the forefront of domestic manufacturing scale, production technology, and product development, leading the industry's new quality development. In response to the development characteristics of the polypropylene industry and the current international economic situation, he put forward several suggestions: firstly, we should adhere to innovation driven development, increase research and development investment, and continuously improve the technological content and added value of polypropylene products; Secondly, we need to strengthen the close cooperation between the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, and form a good pattern of complementary advantages and coordinated development; Thirdly, we should pay attention to intelligent manufacturing, green development, and improve product production efficiency and quality; Fourthly, we should pay attention to brand building, actively participate in the formulation of relevant standards, and enhance the industry awareness and reputation of the brand; The fifth is to actively respond to changes in the trade environment, actively explore diversified markets, and especially make full use of the huge market potential in China and the high resilience of China's economic growth to activate market vitality.

Zhang Shitao, President of Hubei Botao Synthetic Fiber Co., Ltd., stated that polypropylene, with its excellent characteristics such as lightweight, high strength, corrosion resistance, and recyclability, continues to deepen its application in textile, medical, automotive, construction and other fields, demonstrating enormous market potential. Driven by the "dual carbon" goal, the market prospects for low-carbon and recyclable polypropylene products are broad; Through material innovation, the application boundaries of functional polypropylene will continue to expand; In the wave of globalization and intelligence, the polypropylene industry will inevitably enter the world stage with stronger competitiveness. Botao Company has always taken it as its responsibility to promote the vigorous development of the polypropylene industry, adhere to innovation driven approach, increase research and development investment, and deeply cultivate differentiated and high-performance polypropylene products; Practice green manufacturing and build a low-carbon industrial chain from raw materials to finished products; Open cooperation, working together with upstream and downstream partners in the industrial chain to build a symbiotic and win-win industrial ecosystem. In the future, Botao Company will continue to contribute more to the high-quality development of the industry.

Deng Qingmei, member of the Party Committee and Deputy Director of Donghai Economic Development Zone, introduced in her speech that Donghai Economic Development Zone focuses on building three major industrial clusters: polymer materials, silicon materials, and high-end food. The polymer materials industry has gathered leading enterprises such as Botao New Materials and Baide Textile, with a focus on developing high value-added products such as high-end textile fibers and functional films. The development zone adheres to the concept of "pro business and secure business", providing "nine connections and one leveling" infrastructure and standard factory buildings, and implementing a project specialist full process tracking service mechanism. The region has abundant labor resources and diverse talent structure, which enables rapid employment of labor force. At the same time, the East China Sea Economic Development Zone has also established a school enterprise alliance with multiple universities and research institutes to provide free targeted training for frontline technical workers for enterprises, ensuring stable and efficient production needs.

Signing ceremony

Hubei Botao Synthetic Fiber Co., Ltd., as a representative enterprise of polypropylene short fibers, has always been at the forefront of research and innovation in the industry. In addition to producing polypropylene, it also produces polyester, polyethylene, and polylactic acid fibers. At the meeting, Zhang Shitao, President of Hubei Botao Synthetic Fiber Co., Ltd., and Liu Xiong, General Manager of Yangzhou Huitong Biological New Materials Co., Ltd., signed a strategic cooperation agreement on behalf of both parties to jointly develop high weather resistant fiber grade polylactic acid short fibers.
