Textile printing and dyeing auxiliaries products, as one of the important raw materials for textile printing and dyeing, are used to improve the quality of textile printing and dyeing and increase the added value of textiles. The textile printing and dyeing auxiliaries industry is the application technology of fine chemical products in the textile printing and dyeing industry. It belongs to the marginal science of chemical industry and printing and dyeing, and has the following industry characteristics.

1. Low fixed investment, high added value, and high profit

Auxiliary agents are a small branch of fine chemicals and have all the characteristics of fine chemicals. The investment in its fixed assets is closely related to its product characteristics. As we all know: textile printing and dyeing auxiliaries have many varieties and small tonnage. Its production method is also different from other organic and inorganic chemicals. It has a short process and few unit reactions. Most of them use compounding technology, emulsification technology, etc. Its synthesis is limited to key raw materials, that is, core technology, its output is smaller, and its equipment is highly versatile. Therefore, the subject fixed asset investment is much smaller than other chemical industries.

In addition, since printing and dyeing auxiliaries have few equipment and short construction period, most of the raw materials are purchased from the market, compounding technology is used, and the production cycle is short, therefore, they have the characteristics of low investment, fast output, and quick results.

Printing and dyeing auxiliaries are products designed for special user groups and are the end of the chemical product chain. Although their production process is simple, they can have extremely high added value and high technical content. From an international perspective, the statistical results of the sales profit margins of the world's 100 large chemical companies also show that the top 10 high-profit enterprises are all fine chemicals, reflecting the characteristics of the fine chemical industry with low investment, short investment cycle and high efficiency.

2. Multiple varieties and small batches

Printing and dyeing auxiliaries are highly specialized, and their users are another industry. Different printing and dyeing auxiliaries are designed for different fabrics, different processes, different production processes, and different fabric styles. At present, there are nearly 100 categories of printing and dyeing auxiliaries in the world, up to 15.000 varieties, and an output of nearly 10 million tons. There are also more than 1.000 varieties in China, with an output of more than 3 million tons/year, which is unmatched by other industries.

This feature is consistent with the characteristics of fine chemicals, because the product production cycle is short, the investment is small, the profit is high, the competition is fierce, and the product update is fast. In addition, the diversified demand of the textile industry is also one of the reasons for this phenomenon.

3. Most of them are intermittent production and the equipment is highly versatile

One of the characteristics of chemical production is strong versatility. Unlike the machinery industry, its unit reaction is nothing more than N unit operations, and the equipment is standard parts with strong versatility. Especially for printing and dyeing auxiliaries, most of them adopt compounding technology. The general equipment is only enamel reactor, storage tank, high-level tank, etc. It is very easy to design a set of equipment for multiple purposes in process design to reduce the investment in fixed assets, avoid continuous large-scale production, adopt intermittent production, be close to the market, produce on demand, and avoid unnecessary losses.

4. Extensive use of compounding technology

In order to meet the needs of various special purposes, many products obtained by chemical synthesis, in addition to the requirement of processing into a variety of dosage forms, often have to add a variety of other reagents for compounding. Due to the particularity of the application object, it is difficult to use a single compound to meet the requirements, so the research on the formula becomes a decisive factor. Products launched by compounding technology have functions such as efficiency enhancement, modification and expansion of application range, and their performance often exceeds that of products with a single structure. Therefore, mastering compounding technology is an extremely important aspect to make textile printing and dyeing auxiliary products have market competitiveness.

5. High requirements for technical services and technical support

Textile printing and dyeing auxiliary belongs to the development and operation industry. While vigorously developing new products and new technologies, it is also necessary to spend more efforts to study the application technology of products and provide comprehensive technical services and technical support. The world's developed industrial countries attach great importance to this. Their technical development, business management and product sales (including technical services) personnel ratio is roughly 2:1:3. and they select people with good business quality and the most practical experience to serve as sales and technical services, and feedback the information obtained in the sales process to the planning and production departments in a timely manner, so as to revise the plan, adjust production, ensure the sales of products, and improve the competitiveness of enterprises.
