To Buy Down Jacket, We Should Pay Attention To Improper Selection And Easy To Have Bacteria.

With the gale in recent days,

As a hot selling commodity, some online stores also offer various "super low price" down garments, which have considerable sales.

However, does low price down clothing really contain eiderdown? Is quality reliable?

Recently, reporters bought 5 samples of down garments from online stores and clothing stores, ranging in price from 40 yuan to 200 yuan, and sent them to the China Textile Industry Federation Testing Center for testing.

The test results showed that in the online shopping "down payment" down jacket, 2 samples of stuffing were not feather down, but polyester fiber cotton.

The other 2 samples of the down garment samples were less than the marked "velvet content" of 90%, and the quality of down was also poor.

The researchers said that only 1 samples were basically qualified, and 4 samples were unqualified.

Yao Xiaoman, director of China feather and down industry association, said that many cheap down garments are filled with "flying silk". The so-called "flying silk" is to crush wool.

As a matter of fact, the corner waste of duck and goose feather has become a velvet shape after being crushed. This kind of "flying silk" filled down garment is not only not warm, but also because of the lack of high temperature disinfection procedures, it may cause peculiar smell and pathogens, and potentially cause the danger.

Yao Xiaoman suggested that choose the down jacket except the best choice.

Besides, it is also necessary to see whether the label information of the product's filling and cashmere content is complete, and press it gently to see if it will recover quickly to identify the pros and cons.

Experiment

Two the amount of cashmere is not labeled.

Venue: Laboratory of testing center, China Federation of textile industry

Experimental samples: 5 samples of down garments, 4 of which are purchased from online stores and 1 from solid clothing stores.

Experimental process:

1, the experimenters hand touch 5 samples of fabric, select the filling area is more full, to distinguish whether the stuffing is eiderdown.

2. The experimental personnel put 5 kinds of down garments on the experimental platform. They separate the cuffs and the clothes hem positions of the down garments with tools, and take a small amount of stuffing samples from the stuffing.

3. Divide 5 kinds of stuffing samples from the down garment samples by means of tools to distinguish the composition of the stuffing, and detect the composition of the feather, feather and feather in the down filling, and calculate the amount of cashmere.

Results: 4 samples failed.

The stuffing of 2 samples is not feather down, but cotton made of polyester fiber. One is fluffy down cotton and the other is ordinary lump cotton.

All 2 samples are online shopping.

In addition, 3 samples of down garments were filled with white eiderdown, and there were many problems such as small POM balls and broken feathers.

At the same time, the down weight of these 3 down garments is about 80%, 70% and 85% respectively, and the 3 down clothing labels are "90% in the amount of cashmere". According to the relevant standards, nearly 10% flying silk is allowed to be added in 90% of the cashmere content, so two have not reached the tag, and the other one is basically qualified.

The two substandard samples are online shopping, while basically qualified ones are purchased by physical stores.

1 confusion concept of flying silk and down cotton.

As for the concept of feather and down clothing and cashmere filling, Yao Xiaoman, director of the China feather and down industry association, said that the down feather includes velvet and wool, and the amount of cashmere is more than that of wool.

The amount of filling is the weight of the eiderdown. The filling is usually marked by gram.

Even if the down weight of a down garment is very high, if the down weight of the down jacket is too small, it will also affect the warmth retention effect.

Yao Xiaoman said that the national standard of down jacket is GB/T14272-2011 down garment.

About the concept of cashmere content, in addition to velvet, allow about 10% flying silk to join.

In order to reduce costs, some feather production enterprises broke the wool pieces and added a lot of feather silk to them, that is to say, flying silk.

The so-called "flying silk" is to crush wool.

The general term for inferior faked feather is in fact that the edges and corners of the duck and goose feather are crushed into a velvet shape, and some do not contain "velvet" at all. This kind of fly down filled down garment is not only not warm, but also because of the lack of high temperature disinfection procedures, it may produce peculiar smell and pathogens, and potentially cause the danger.

In addition to "flying silk", 4 samples of down garment samples from the online shopping show showed that 2 of the down garments that the seller claimed "95% and above" and "75% of the cashmere" were actually not feather down, but cotton made of polyester fibers, one of which was down cotton.

Reporters found that many businesses on the Internet claim that the merchandise is "one hundred percent white eiderdown", and that "down cotton" has almost the same warm effect as feather, some are better than the down ones.

In fact, "down cotton" is hollow cotton or silk floss, not pure feather down, nor real cotton.

2 the cost of down jacket is at least 100 yuan.

An insider gave reporters a count of 0.4 yuan per gram of eiderdown, a down jacket of 100 grams of women's down clothing, the cost of feather down is 40 yuan, fabric costs at least 30 yuan, plus fabric, a down coat price should be at least 100 yuan or more, this is the "bottom line".

The price of 500 grams of flying silk is only about 20 yuan, with a maximum consumption of 200 grams for a female down jacket, and the cost of its filling is seven or eight yuan.

Therefore, too cheap down clothes, or careful purchase.

About how to distinguish true and false down jacket, Yao Xiaoman introduced recently, the Chinese Badminton Association issued a new version of the anti counterfeit logo of down products, the formal brand down clothing will have this anti fake tag.

1 how to choose down jacket?

When the springback is slow, the filler is not good enough.

Experts from the China feather and down Industry Association say that the down garments can be purchased through the following ways:

To see if the product label information is complete, labels should include information about factory name, down type, filling amount and cashmere content.

Paving the product, pressing it gently and letting it recover naturally.

If it does not rise or rebound slowly, it shows that the filling quality is not good. If there is no elasticity at all, then the filling material is probably the feather or other feather of chicken feather or other long hair pieces.

Vigorously beat down products to see if there is any dust overflow.

If there is no dust overflow, it will be a good product.

The weight of down products can be weighed by hand. At the same time, the size of the volume, the lighter the weight, the larger the volume.

2 how to clean down clothes?

It should not be dry cleaned; if machine wash, read the instructions first so as not to cause an explosion.

The stuffing of eiderdown clothes is mainly made of eiderdown containing 90% cashmere, which is mainly composed of protein fiber.

The down jacket should not be dry cleaned, because the four vinyl chloride water will damage the protein in the down, and affect the thermal performance. At the same time, the drying process is easy to make the fabric aging.

There is a rumor that machine washable down clothing may explode, experts say, when the down jacket is washed, the down is easy to gather together, and there is a large gap in the down jacket.

When the washing machine dries at high speed, the down continues to expand, and a large quantity of gas can not be discharged in time. It will fill the inner space of the washing machine in a short time. When the gas expands to a certain extent, exceeding the compression limit of the washing machine, it may cause a phenomenon similar to the "explosion".

However, this "explosion" is not like the explosion in the sense of battery and liquefied petroleum gas, and it will not produce such a great impact.

Related experts remind that some down garments are marked "not machine washable" and do not wash with washing machines.

Some are marked "machine washable" and should be washed in washing machines with washing down clothing marks. It is necessary to read the instructions for washing machines.
