OPTIM was awarded the Chairman's Medal of the Australian Federal Academy of Sciences and the 2002 Australian Engineering Design Award. At present, the technology has been patented in Australia and registered in Italy, Germany, Britain, the United States, Japan, Canada, Brazil, South Africa, South Korea and other countries. In China market, including Hongkong, Macau and Taiwan Province Province, OPTIM technology was exclusively introduced and put into the market by Inner Mongolia Wang Lu Cashmere Group Company.
OPTIM fiber is developed by adjusting the internal structure of wool fiber with patented processing technology. Its technical principle is that under certain conditions, ordinary wool is stretched by high-tech means and special equipment, so that the fiber fineness is reduced by 3 microns. The fineness of wool treated in this way will reach or even exceed that of cashmere (15 micron), and its length is 3-4 times that of cashmere. The fiber strength is between 3.8 cn-5. 1cn, and the elongation can reach more than 30%. OPTIM wool physical modification technology is not simply to elongate and thin wool, but to change the organizational structure of ordinary wool and become a brand-new fiber with cashmere characteristics. Compared with ordinary wool, it has higher gloss, less curl and different dyeing properties after stretching. The products produced by OPTIM have the physical functions of cashmere: light and soft, smooth to the touch, bright in color, hygroscopic and warm, high-grade in style and comfortable to wear. It is a great technological innovation of high-tech means in natural fiber, and its smoothness, elongation and strength coefficient are better than cashmere. Therefore, the clothing products developed by OPTIM fiber have broad market prospects.
