Material
Co.,Ltd
Shanghai Aoling Textile New Material Co., Ltd. is located in Songjiang District of Shanghai, China’s economic and financial center. It is a professional enterprise that engaged in research and development and sales of new fibers and yarn. The company owns a high standard research and development team and an efficient sales team. The company adheres “science and technology, environmental protection, low carbon, and health” as the purpose of development. It develops multi-function properties on new textile materials to provide high quality, multi-function fibers and yarns for middle and high grade of textile and garment enterprises.
Piloting the future science and technology, science and technology changes life. The company’s core technology is material nano crystallization, which ultra-fine nano functional powder effectively dissolve with other chemical fiber through special process. So as to achieve the ultimate goal of chemical fiber modification. This is the difference between their functional materials and other chemical fiber materials. In recent years, the company develops several series, such as carbon health series, cooling series, magnet therapy and health care series, thermal retention series, anion and far infrared rays series, moisture absorption and perspiration series, radiation protection and fire retardant series, antistatic series, and low carbon, environmental friendly series of fibers and yarns.
The new textiles materials developed by SHANGHAI AOLING apply to various knitting and woven fields.
It is an enterprise professionally engaged in the R&D of powder,
advanced textile fiber, chemical and food.
Advanced Materials Technology Research Institute provide technical support.
Some of the products of this company are:
Bamboo Charcoal Fiber
Coconut charcoal fiber adopts the waste coconut shell after eating, and after
cleaning and impurity, it is isolated from the air and calcined at high
temperature, then ground to become coconut charcoal powder.By grinding powder, it
increases the specific surface area of bamboo charcoal and enhances the
adsorption capacity.
properties:Deodorization,far infrared,negative ions
Coffee Charcoal Fiber
Made from coffee ground after drinking. It is low carbon and environmental
friendly.
properties: Extra warm,Bacteriostatic and deodorization,releases negative ions
BETTS fiber
is a kind of functional fiber made of
Nano copper, which melted into polyester byb high tech treatment , and then spun.
properties:Antibacterial,Mildew Proof & Deodorizing,anti acarien.
Zinc fiber
functional textile material. It has excellent characteristics of
absorbing and scattering ultraviolet ray, bacteriostatic and so on.
properties:Anti UV ,Antibacterial.
MYANT
Is a Canadian based innovative textile company .
Myant knits sensors and actuators into everyday textiles, giving them the ability to sense and react to the human body. This continuous bidirectional interface to the human operating system will empower humanity to transform its capabilities and performance, help people proactively manage health and deliver treatment, and allow us to build better connections to our own selves and those around us.
Myant believes that textiles are an ideal medium for interaction with the human body.
While many technological advancements necessitate radical change in behavior to be widely adopted, textiles have the benefit of being familiar to all people across society, inconspicuously integrated into everyone’s daily lives, and pervasive across all environments.

LORO PIANA
Is an Italian luxury clothing manufacturer specialized in natural fibers:Its the worlds leading manufacturer of vicuña wool products, the most precious one.
Rightfully named The Fibre of the Gods, the finest, rarest animal raw material in the world comes from a small member of the camel family that lives wild in the Andes.
The vicuña, “Queen of the Andes”, lives in the wilderness of the Peruvian, Argentinean and Bolivian highlands. With its golden brown, ultra-soft fleece, the vicuña was sacred to the Incas, and its precious fleece was worn by emperors and their families. Loro Piana first became involved in vicuña conservation initiatives in Peru in the 1980s, and has since then worked tirelessly to protect and nurture this extraordinary species.
In the Pre-Colombian era, there were approximately three million wild vicuñas gracing the mountain plateaus of Peru. However, when the conquistadors arrived, they began hunting the animals indiscriminately to obtain their prized fleece. The poaching has continued to the present day, reducing the species almost to extinction.
The population reached an all-time low of 5000 in 1960, prompting the Peruvian government to establish the first reserve for re-populating the vicuña. The real turning point in saving the species came about three decades later when Loro Piana – heading the 1994 International Vicuña Consortium – signed an agreement with the Andean communities which provided the company the exclusive honour of buying, processing, and exporting vicuña fiber created from animals that were gently and humanly sheared. The involvement of Peruvian campesinos proved vital to the conservation effort.
Since then, Loro Piana has continued to honor its pledge to the vicuña, establishing Peru’s first private nature reserve – the Dr. Franco Loro Piana reserve – in 2008. The increase in population bears witness to the success of the project; today the vicuña is thriving in the Andes.
On the strength of the experience in Peru, Loro Piana continued the vicuña conservation initiative in Argentina in 2013, when the group purchased the majority share in a company that has permission to shear vicuñas in the Catamarca Province, in the Argentine Northwest.
Argentina has a smaller vicuña population than Peru, and unlike in Peru, the animals are not the property of the government or the local communities. Instead, vicuñas live wild, but protected, at an altitude that ranges from 3200 metres to 5500 metres above sea level. In this extreme climate, the animal’s outer coat is different to the one in Peru. The fibre is even finer and lighter in colour, almost white, blending into the glacial hues of the puna landscape.
In an area of more than 85,000 hectares the vicuñas are protected and left free to roam. The scheduled, cruelty-free shearing of the animals represent the most effective way to discourage poaching. Without their precious fleece, the vicuñas no longer represent a source of income for criminals. That is why, in Catamarca, people say that every animal sheared is an animal saved.
