< p > reporter interviewed found that many consumers saw this "technology velvet" after the first thought that this is the improvement products of down garments.

But according to Yao Xiaoman, director of the China feather and down industry association, "technology velvet" is actually "fluffy cotton", that is, polyester fiber, which was widely used 30 years ago, and is not a new product of science and technology.

The so-called "technology velvet" is just a gimmick given by businesses.

< p > reporter interviewed many media reports found that this new energy technology velvet winter clothing has been listed in July and August.

For the "new energy technology velvet", many businesses publicize this: the use of the original warm fiber technology, the formation of closed airbags with ultra-fine fibers, can reflect the body's heat energy, light and fluffy, high efficiency and warmth retention, no drilling and velvet, and moisture regain is less than 0.8%.

< p > since it is a cotton dress, why would it be called "velvet"? What is the polyester fiber? With these questions, the reporter interviewed Yao Xiaoman, director of the China feather and down industry association.

< /p >

< p > according to Yao Xiaoman, the pet name is polyethylene terephthalate, which is commonly known as polyester. "When we make stuffing, we usually call it fluffy cotton, which is a chemical fiber, which is the same as mineral water bottle and plastic film, so the price is very low."

< /p >

< p > Yao Xiaoman said that the fluffy cotton is a chemical fiber product, and the garments made of it are soft, fluffy, mildew proof, and have no peculiar smell and no fabric.

But polyester fiber also has many shortcomings, such as poor moisture absorption and permeability, moisture regain is generally not more than 0.4%, it will make people appear airtight and stuffy.

In addition, the polyester fabric filled with clothing is easy to generate static electricity in the process of wear and tear, resulting in human discomfort.

< p > at the same time, due to static electricity, in the north of the dry climate, polyester fiber filled clothing is easy to absorb dust and be polluted by the atmosphere and haze.

In addition, polyester fibers will harden or even brittle under extremely cold conditions (usually at -30 C ~-40 C), thereby reducing the comfort and warmth of polyester fibers as filler.

< /p >

< p > polyester fiber as a filler for clothing is not a new product of science and technology. It has been widely used as early as 30 years ago.

Yao Xiaoman said that "thermal fiber technology" as used in the "science and technology velvet" publicity materials is a thermal insulation material for space clothing, which is expensive and has not yet been used in civilian clothing.

First, in order to increase the selling point of" a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp" > fluffy cotton < /a > put on the science and technology coat, the two is to rely on the velvet, in order to raise the grade with the down jacket competition. "

Yao Xiaoman told reporters that feather is the animal fiber produced from the surface of goose and duck, and it is the best warm material for nature, green and environmental protection.

Because of its unique structure, it has superior lightness, comfort and warmth.

In addition, eiderdown also has a strong function of moisture absorption, moisture absorption and sweating, which makes people feel dry, breathable, soft and comfortable.

These excellent properties of eiderdown are not available to any synthetic fiber.
