Feather silk, also known as monofilament, is the silk that falls off feathers during processing such as cleaning, and flying silk, also known as velvet silk, is the silk that falls off the velvet. Because it is still a natural material, it can be reserved as a filling for down products. Generally speaking, the natural shedding of the velvet is limited, and the natural shedding of the velvet during processing such as cleaning will not affect the quality of the product.
Running down, this is the most common problem of duvets, and some running down is more serious, and it seems like it comes out of the chicken coop every day. The fleece running is mainly related to two factors. The first one is the reason of the fabric. Due to the insufficient density of the fabric, the anti-velvet effect is poor and the fleece is easy to run.
But the most important reason is the quality of down. Low-quality down is mixed with a lot of feather silk and flying silk. Even the dense and anti-down fabrics will run down.
Feather silk, also known as monofilament, is the silk that falls off feathers during processing such as cleaning, and flying silk, also known as velvet silk, is the silk that falls off the velvet. Because it is still a natural material, it can be reserved as a filling for down products. Generally speaking, the natural shedding of the velvet is limited, and the natural shedding of the velvet during processing such as cleaning will not affect the quality of the product.
However, in order to reduce costs, some unscrupulous merchants directly smash the feathers into filaments by artificial processing. Usually, a feather filament is about 2 to 3 cm in length. It doesn't feel hard stems, but these small feathers are actually harder than down, like small needles.
Even if the fabric is 100% velvet-proof, these small feathers or flying silk will run out of the gap of the needle eye. These tiny flying silks and feather silks fly in the air, and it is difficult for consumers to notice them and inhale them into the body, which has a great impact on health.
In this regard, we always adhere to the golden 6-hour principle in the process of raw material collection:1. After the hair removal process, the feathers and feathers are delivered to the processing shop in 6 hours, and then the raw hair is processed and dried.
2. After drying, spread evenly on the ground to dry and dissipate heat for more than 12 hours.
The purpose of the above two points is to prevent the wet raw wool from stacking for a long time to generate heat and breed bacteria, resulting in embrittlement of the flock and easy separation from the flock core, resulting in an increase in flying silk. Therefore, our processed down has only a very small amount of down and feather silk, and the down content is as high as 95%. Very high down content, can control feather silk + flying silk below 3%, and then match the fabrics developed in cooperation with the fabric factory, using high-count and high-density fabrics, and then processing and ironing through a large calendering machine, plugging the weaving eyes, preventing Drill down effect is particularly good. The fabric has a certain breathability and soft feel at the same time.
We made 2 samples of 60*60 (cm) according to the square size of the commonly used duvets, put them in the test instrument, and simulated the anti-drilling performance of the fabric under the action of external force through the instrument. The instrument rotates 1000 revolutions in both forward and reverse directions, and is equipped with 10 solid balls inside, which can complete different motion trajectories in multiple directions, simulate the wear test of the sample to the greatest extent, and scientifically and intuitively reflect the anti-drilling performance of the fabric. The test is completed. Afterwards, no down silk or feather silk was found on the surface of the duvet fabric and inside the instrument.
According to the requirements of the industry standard QB/T 1193-2012, the anti-drilling down/root is less than or equal to 20. After the experiment, no down or feather silk was found to be drilled, which is far higher than the industry standard.
