How Many Silk Can Be Returned?

With the gradual cooling of temperature, domestic

However, when the silk market is booming, some strange phenomena in the industry reflect a little weird.

The silk quilts on the market indicate that the origin and raw materials are basically the same, but the price is quite different.

The cheapest is only 200 yuan, and the most expensive one is more than thousand yuan.

At the same time, the name of silk is also repeated.

"Natural silk quilt", "silk quilt", "fine silk quilt", "silk cashmere quilt" and so on, not only confuse ordinary consumers, but even ordinary salesmen do not know the difference between them.

Muddled: consumers who blindly rush to buy

What kind of quilt is silk quilt? This seemingly simple question is not answered by most consumers.

According to the national standard of GB/T24252-2009 silk quilt approved by the National Standardization Management Committee in 2009 with Announcement No. ninth.

Silk quilt is a quilt made of silkworm silk and tussah silk as the main raw material, and is made from the tire and quilted quilt (including machine sewing and manual sewing).

At the same time, the standard also stipulates that the silk quilts can be classified as pure silk quilt and mixed silk by two categories.

Of which 100% of the silk content is called pure silk quilt, and the silk content of 50% or more is mixed silk quilt.

At present, the price of brand silk is also very chaotic in the shopping malls of major cities in China.

From one thousand yuan to more than four thousand yuan of silk has been, obviously this price is not ordinary consumers can bear.

Therefore, the sale of high priced silk has not been so popular in the market.

In the vast fiber Kingdom, natural fibers have always been in the forefront because of their excellent characteristics.

Although the development speed of synthetic fibers is quite alarming now, the use of natural fibers still takes up half of the fiber industry.

In the world of natural fiber, only cashmere and silk are animal fibers and protein fibers.

At the same time, because cashmere fiber is keratinized protein fiber, is the foreign minister, compared with silkworm fibers spit out of silkworm is the most able to paste the skin of the nearest person.

Therefore, in some literatures, silk is even compared to human's second skin.

It is precisely because of the unique quality and advantages of silk fiber, such as body warmth, fluffy, and breathable health care.

So silk, which is made of natural silk as filler, has been sought after by consumers.

However, because silk in shopping malls is too expensive.

As a result, the vast majority of consumers turn their attention to the wholesale market of household goods.

In fact, these wholesale markets all over the country are the main selling channels of silk quilts in China.

Walking into a wholesale market of household goods in Chaotianmen, Chongqing, the commercials of silk quilt can be seen as overwhelming and dazzling.

In addition to a few Sichuan and Chongqing local silk enterprises, most of them come from silk merchants from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.

According to the observation, the wholesale market is mainly based on the brand shops of Jiangsu province Wujiang Zhen Ze Zhen, Zhejiang Jiaxing Tongxiang, and Jiangxi Xiushui silk.

However, almost all the stalls were marked with "live production" silk quilts.

Walking into a shop, the boss told us that the production of silk is now free of 200 yuan per kilogram and quilt cover, but it needs another 50 yuan labor cost.

During the bargaining process, the boss repeatedly stressed that the consumers were watching the scene production, and the silk was produced by their own factory. Customers could feel at ease one hundred percent times.

Seeing that we still had doubts, she cut a thread from silk fibers.

Then the lighter was lit and the smell of scorched hair immediately came out.

Later, she also used her hand to drive out, and then told us with a very professional expression that I dare to expel so that it was 100% of mulberry silk.

If it is chemical fiber, even if it contains 0.01% of chemical fiber, she dare not to do so, because chemical fiber burning temperature is very high, especially hot.

In another shop, the shopkeepers threw us an unthinkable concept.

She said that identifying the quality of silk quilt mainly depends on whether quilts and fibers are quilted by machine or hand stitched.

If the machine is quilted, it means that the sericultural fibers are low staple fibers.

The reason is that if the filament is inside, the tip of the machine will prick the fibers.

Therefore, only hand stitched silk is filled with 100% of superior silk mulberry silk.

We naturally laugh at the above "nonsense" theory.

From the relevant experts, we know that identification of silk authenticity depends on the detection of related instruments.

It is unscientific to observe with naked eyes or burn alone. It is difficult to guarantee the accuracy of identification.

However, the purchase of a 4 jin silk quilt is about 800 yuan.

This price is only half of the cheapest brand silk sold in the store. Is it true that 100% of the mulberry silk is sold as stuffing silk? {page_break}

Ear to ear and stealing: small businesses on demand

Tongxiang, Zhejiang Province, is one of the main silk production bases in China. In the streets and alleys of Tongxiang, silkworm silk is seen everywhere by the advertisement of the enterprise.

It is understood that the production and production of silkworm silk is relatively simple, and the technical threshold is very low.

In recent years, the production of silk by the manufacturers in Tongxiang is getting bigger and bigger, and the sales are getting bigger and bigger.

However, with the increase of local silk enterprises, there are more and more problems in the silk industry.

According to the experts from the China Silk Association, the best material for making silk is double cocoon.

Although the double cocoon can not be processed into high-grade silk, its fiber toughness is very good, and the fiber length can reach more than 1000 meters, which is the best choice for making silk quilts.

A lower grade than the double cocoon is the silk quilt made of secondary cocoons.

The so-called secondary cocoon refers to the poor quality cocoons selected in the process of reeling silk.

For example, the pupae in a cocoon accidentally died due to one reason or another.

When the pupa dies, a yellow or black brown liquid will contaminate the silk.

Such cocoons can not be processed into silk again, but the cocoons themselves have no problems and can make better silk quilts.

The price of the secondary cocoon is relatively cheap, but only the silk quilt. The silk made from the secondary cocoon is not affected by its functions as a quilt.

In addition, there is silk quilt made of tussah silk as filler.

Tussah silk because its fiber length is not comparable to mulberry silk, plus wild breed, so the price is much cheaper.

In fact, some scholars think that tussah silk has higher toughness and warmth retention than mulberry silk. As a filler, it has better effect than mulberry silk.

However, there are still some controversies in this field.

But it is beyond reproach that tussah silk is still a natural animal protein fiber, which is in line with the relevant regulations of the state and is also one of the stuffing of qualified silk quilts.

Moreover, there is a kind of silk leftover that is left after silk reeling.

In fact, the most common treatment method used in the past is silk spinning.

However, silk has been popular in the market, but now it is also used to build a stuffed silk quilt.

More serious is that the market also found that this kind of leftover material made of silk cotton and other non silk fabric blended quilt made of quilt.

Although the national standard stipulates that as long as the silk content more than 50% of the quilt can be called silk quilt.

However, it is obvious that such quilt is far worse than the quilt made of 100% mulberry silk.

In the national standard, it is also clear that blended silk must be marked in the product label with specific types and contents of silk cotton.

But in the current domestic market, most silk labels do not contain silk or tussah silk.

Basically, the natural silk is used to confuse the public.

Then, how many ordinary consumers do not know the secret of silk fibers?

In Tongxiang, there are large and small number of home textile enterprises.

They have a clear division of labor, a special blend of silk and cotton, a company that specializes in producing their own brand silk, which is brought to others for OEM production, and a company that specializes in distributing silk quilts instead of producing them.

In a silk production enterprise in Tongxiang, Du Huachun, our boss, told us that this factory did not produce its own brand silk quilt. It was specially processed for others.

All silk will be supplied by the entrustment.

Customers should mark mulberry silk and label tussah silk.

At the same time, the stuffing of silk is also done according to the requirements of customers.

As to whether the silk produced is able to meet the national standard, Du boss admitted that he could not master it.

In his storehouse, the silkworm made of packed silk has been stacked up.

In the outer packaging of the product, it simply marked the words "silk quilt, first grade product".

Du boss opened a package box by hand, and took out the silk inside. It was said that it was tussah silk.

He also told us that the cost of 100% silk made of tussah silk is relatively high.

Under normal circumstances, his customers rarely ask such a request.

From the boss's office, we also know that since 2010, his factory has not yet produced 100% silk mulberry silk quilts.

Mulberry silk is marked with mulberry silk and tussah silk is only silk.

In these small home textile enterprises, silk is blurred by ingredients, blurring the kinds and contents of silk.

So, what kinds of fibers are there in the market with all kinds of silk stuffed inside?

In another factory in Tongxiang where there is no factory name silk, their practice is more direct.

On the workbench of the workshop, the workers are working on air conditioning for a company in Shanghai.

The filler they use is hollow cotton, but the label on the product is printed with the words "silk and microfiber".

Hollow cotton is a kind of highly warm cotton product. Its raw material is high quality polyester fiber and its excellent three-dimensional crimp hollow fiber. U hollow fiber and ES fiber are chemical fiber products.

Using chemical fiber to impersonate silk fiber, enterprises will undoubtedly get high profits, but the damage is ordinary consumers.

From the experts in the silk industry, we know that mulberry silk is generally unable to blend due to technical reasons.

In fact, the main problem is the tussah silk, because the tussah silk material will be brought to the machine for further processing.

In this process, it can be blended with other fibers.

Then, in a local cotton yarn manufacturer, we found a device called air texturing machine.

It is said that this kind of equipment is imported from Japan, specially interlacing and blending all kinds of fibers through compressed air flow into special yarns.

The workers next to the machine are busy trying to plug some raw materials that can not be named.

And the other side of the machine came out of neat and uniform fibers.

After enquiry, we know that the silk produced from Tussah Silk and kapok fiber was filled at that time.

Kapok fiber is a fiber extracted from a plant which is grown in Southwest China. Its main production area is Yunnan.

The length, color and even feel of kapok fiber are very close to tussah silk, but the price is much cheaper than that of tussah silk.

The two blended products are not only ordinary people but also most people in the industry.

Most of the clients pointed out that such fibers should be used as filler for silk quilts.

At present, the silk blended with 50% tussah silk and 50% kapok fiber is the largest silk product sold in the market.

However, they all hang the natural silk, the first grade product and so on the ambiguous mark to impersonate the 100% stored silk quilt.

{page_break}

In addition, there are also some manufacturers in order to cater to the needs of customers, and pursue greater interests.

The silk fabric made of tussah silk and chemical fiber is used to make worse quality silk quilts.

What's more, simply use kapok fiber blended with chemical fiber, soybean fiber and chemical fiber blended to impersonate 100% of silk.

In their industry, 50% kapok and 50% chemical fiber blended products are called "50 cotton".

And this is the "50 cotton" in Tongxiang, the local price is only about 14 yuan per catty, the use of it to pretend to be mulberry silk to make silk has been profiteering as high as 1000%.

In the interest chain of fake and shoddy silk quilt, all sides have formed the mode of "joint responsibility" for making fake.

Cotton spinning enterprises specializes in blending all kinds of fibers and producing stuffing of silk quilts.

As for what these stuffing houses are for, cotton spinning enterprises need not worry.

In this way, even if the relevant government departments were inspected, there was no evidence to deal with it.

Although every link in this industry chain knows that he is making fake and shoddy silk quilts.

However, under the temptation of huge interests, they all pretend to have nothing to do with themselves, and continue to do self deception.

Just do not know whether their conscience will still feel a bit uneasy.

A retailer who sells crazily

Silk is used as household goods for thousands of households. The vast retail market in China is undoubtedly its most important selling position.

However, in the end of the sale of these silk, there are also many hidden rules and strange activities.

In the retail market, all silk is left with a bladder openings.

Through this opening, consumers can directly see and touch silk silk inside.

However, this opening is a great mystery.

Usually, in order to fix the quilt and the fibers inside it.

Manufacturers will stitch on the silk quilts with dense lines. These lines just turn the silk into large and small "lattices".

At the opening, you can only see the true appearance of the stuffing in the "lattice" itself.

Consumers don't know what the stuffing is in the whole quilt.

Even with this little opening, the biggest is only 7 or 8 centimeters, and the smallest can only reach two or three fingers.

Moreover, under normal circumstances, salesmen do not allow customers to pull out the silk inside.

Therefore, consumers want to see through the inner opening of silk quilts to see whether the filling is the same as the opening, which is basically impossible.

In the front, we mentioned a quilt of 4 pounds, which was produced in the wholesale market of household goods, and the price was only about 800 yuan.

But if consumers are buying gifts, what can they do if they are embarrassed to take the rough silk wrapped?

In fact, consumers need not worry. Careful businesses have already prepared everything for customers.

After paying an additional 20 yuan for the packing fee, the salesmen soon brought a beautiful brand silk wrapped carton from other places.

The price tag on the packing box is 2280 yuan, and it is marked with 100% mulberry silk.

In this way, a silk product posing as a famous brand product was sent to the consumer's hands in a swagger.

It is understood that silk production is simple, the main factor determining its quality depends on its internal fillers.

Unfortunately, there are quite a lot of problems in the market.

In addition to the non silk fibers that we mentioned before impersonating silk, mixed silk is assumed to be pure silk.

There are also silks filled with long silk, short silk, mulberry silk or tussah silk.

That is to say, this kind of silk is filled with mulberry silk or tussah silk on the outside, and inside it is wrapped in leftover material, silk and even chemical fiber.

The pattern of silk's falsification can be described as multifarious and endless.

The leaders of the China Silk Association asserted that half of the silk on the market is reliable and the other half is unreliable.

At the same time, the sales channels of silk quilts are very complex, and those sold in shopping malls are produced on the spot, and are sold in supermarkets.

It is said that some places can even buy silk quilts at the drugstore with medical insurance cards.

This has brought considerable difficulties to the supervision and inspection of relevant functional departments.

In addition to further strengthening the law enforcement efforts of the regulatory authorities, the relevant sectors of the silk industry must also be strictly self disciplined.

Silk enterprises are only strict in controlling the quality of their products. Do not be fooled by their immediate interests.

Refuse to produce fake and shoddy silk quilts, and mark the ingredients and fiber content of their products.

Let consumers clearly and deliberately buy silk products, so that the whole industry can develop healthily and orderly.
