聚焦行业发展痛点 中国纤维质量监测中心推进棉花粘性指标纳入公证检验

Core Insights - A significant 86.4% of surveyed cotton textile enterprises have encountered issues with high-viscosity cotton, leading to an average cost loss of 11.2%, which poses a risk of profit loss given that industry profits are generally below 5% [1][2] - High-viscosity cotton, caused by sugar on the fiber surface, accumulates during production, potentially clogging equipment and disrupting operations, thereby increasing costs and operational pressure for companies [1] - The lack of standardized testing for cotton viscosity in the market results in a "blind box" scenario, where companies cannot identify high-viscosity cotton, leading to unaccounted losses [1] Industry Response - Over 80% of cotton textile enterprises strongly support the implementation of viscosity testing in cotton inspection, which would help reduce transaction costs and provide risk control during production [2] - In response to these challenges, the State Administration for Market Regulation has initiated a project to incorporate rapid viscosity grading tests into official inspections by the end of 2024, aiming to fill the domestic gap in this area [2] - The China Fiber Quality Monitoring Center is leading this initiative, collaborating with industry associations and educational institutions to develop rapid viscosity grading testing technology, enhancing the competitiveness of the cotton textile industry [2]
