August 15, 2024 – Nanshan Zhishang, a leading enterprise in worsted woolen fabrics and professional wear, has recently announced that its “3000-ton annual production of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) new material construction project” has successfully reached its predetermined state and met the conditions for completion. This milestone marks a significant achievement in the company’s important step in the field of new materials.
In recent years, Nanshan Zhishang has successfully transitioned from being solely focused on traditional woolen clothing to a dual-chain collaborative development model that includes both traditional woolen clothing and new material fibers. This shift was fueled by the company’s deep technical expertise in fiber materials. The UHMWPE new material project plays a pivotal role in this transformation strategy.
According to reports, Nanshan Zhishang’s UHMWPE fiber products encompass two major categories: special protective fibers and civilian fibers. These fibers, available in various specifications ranging from 400D to 1600D, highlight the company’s strength in product diversity and wide application. Characterized by ultra-high strength and ultra-high modulus, this fiber has been identified as a key material in strategic emerging industries by the nation.
Currently, Nanshan Zhishang boasts a production capacity of 3,600 tons of UHMWPE fibers, with product quality benchmarking against leading international companies. Since the beginning of 2024, its production line has been operating at full capacity, indicating strong market demand and the company’s efficient operational capabilities.
Moreover, Nanshan Zhishang is actively pushing forward the implementation of its second new material product – the nylon filament project. Nylon fiber, known for its excellent physical properties, finds widespread applications in outdoor, sports, and cold-proof clothing, presenting a vast market prospect.
In summary, by continuously extending its reach upstream in the textile and apparel industry chain, Nanshan Zhishang has not only reinforced its core business but also enriched its textile fiber product matrix, achieving industrial upgrading. Guided by the “dual-chain collaboration” strategy, the company is poised to expand its presence in the new materials sector, injecting fresh vitality into its long-term development and growth.
According to the Color Masterbatch Industry Network, Nanshan Zhishang’s series of initiatives not only showcase its ambitions in the new materials sector but also reflect the positive trend of technological innovation and industrial upgrading in the domestic chemical industry.
