[0014] Further, the size of the hollow fiber body: length, width: 0.1-0.2mm, which is convenient for uniform doping in the coating layer.

[0015] Further, the heat preservation coating is prepared by uniformly mixing and stirring the required raw materials, and then heating and reacting, then adding isocyanate and crosslinking agent, adding catalyst after stopping the reaction, and stirring to obtain the heat preservation coating, which is simple in forming process and easy to operate.

[0016] Further, the polyether is polyethylene glycol, the polyester is polybutylene terephthalate, the high polymer resin is epoxy resin, and the crosslinking agent is pentaerythritol.
