The Taiwan Foundation Examined The "Fever Coat".

Cotton prices rise, market hits. fever Clothes are selling well. The Taiwan consumer culture and Education Foundation announced that 10 samples of hot clothing were found in the inspection. 6 of them did not indicate the use or addition of heating fibers, and the other 2 showed no exothermic effect.

In December last year, the Taiwan foundation announced 10 stores, including the WithBRA of the cheap fashion, the unfettered hand feel, the Tencel cotton + the heating warm clothing, the COSMED heating coat, the white collar, the female M, the HeatUp striped U collar, the female, the MIT Germany exclusive patent little Lapel intelligent heating clothing, the female, the WOMENHEATTECH round neck TT shirt (long sleeve). As well as women's organic cotton warm tone round neck shirt, women's home heating yarn round neck long sleeves, warm and heat origin printed Round Neck Shirt - female, plain V collar extremely warm clothes, hot clothing - female V collar classic, check on the ingredients identification, but found that the ingredients indicate doubts.

Wang Quanquan, a member of the daily necessities Committee of the Taiwan foundation and professor of Textile Engineering Department of the Chinese Culture University, pointed out that the principle of heating clothing on the market can be roughly divided into two types: far-infrared radiation and fiber moisture absorption and heat release. He said that adding far-infrared ceramic elements into fibers, such as zirconium carbide and zirconia, can reflect the far-infrared rays emitted by the human body and transform visible light into far-infrared rays and release them. heat energy 。

The principle of hygroscopic and heating fibers is that when sweat gas and water vapour come into contact with these fibers, they will be absorbed, coagulated, and released condensation heat, such as hollow fibers, acrylic fibers and wool composite yarns.

The Taiwan Consumer Council has stressed that up to 6 of the 10 samples from the market survey tell the principles and functions of the heating clothing only in the outer package, but neither have they marked the use or addition of any heating fibers, nor have they marked the material proportion.

Secondly, there are 2 other items, although the percentage of heating fiber is marked, but the two kinds of fibers called "Tencel cotton" and "modal" have the effect of moisture absorption and heat. According to the information of Taiwan Textile Association, these two kinds of fibers have good hygroscopicity but no exothermic effect.

Accordingly, the Taiwan consumer foundation held skepticism about whether the heated clothing sold in the market has any heating effect and ingredients, and urged the industry to note that the twenty-second law of the Taiwan consumer protection law requires enterprises to ensure the authenticity of the advertisements, and the responsibility should not be lower than the advertising contents.
