What is the difference between imitation silk cotton and imitation down cotton?

The so-called down cotton is actually hollow cotton or silk cotton, which is called differently. But it's not real cotton, it's not pure down, it's filled with hollow polyester, because the air is insulated, so it has a certain amount of warmth. The more common down quilts, down cotton clothes, and down cotton pants on the market are all filled with this filling.

Down cotton is divided into two types: one is carded and formed, which feels similar to DuPont cotton, also known as imitation goose down cotton; The second type is unmolded, similar to PP cotton, which feels close to down, and is an ideal substitute for down.

Silk cotton is a kind of wool made of silk, which is processed from the messy silk on the surface of the cocoon. It can be divided into generalized silk cotton and narrow silk cotton, and the narrow sense of silk cotton only refers to natural silk cotton. Silk cotton in a broad sense refers to silk cotton fabrics, such as spray foam, hollow cotton, mixed silk cotton, imitation silk cotton, seven-hole cotton and other general names.

1. Differences in composition.

Down cotton is a chemical fiber, while silk cotton is a natural fiber, which is the most basic and important difference.

2. The difference in cleaning.

Down cotton must be washed by hand, not dry.

Too much frequent dry cleaning will damage the warmth function of the down cotton, and it will simply age the fabric, and the best way to wash the down cotton is to hand wash it with a professional neutral detergent. Silk cotton, on the other hand, has no requirements for washing.

2. The difference in function.

The thermal insulation function of winter clothes made of down cotton is much better than that of silk cotton, and the breathability of silk cotton is not as good as that of down cotton, and the weight is much heavier than that of down cotton.

Down cotton is not real cotton, nor is it pure down, but hollow cotton.

Characteristics: light and thin, delicate feel, soft, good heat preservation, not easy to deform, will not penetrate the filament, has the feeling of down and good thermal performance, widely used in down jackets, ski shirts, cold clothing and other warm products.

Advantages: The thermal insulation effect is equivalent to that of down, but it is relatively low and cost-effective.

Application: It is a natural high-quality substitute for down jackets, bedding, car cushions and other thermal insulation textile products.

In fact, most of the silk cotton is imitation silk cotton, that is, another vest of the chemical fiber product "space cotton", as a chemical product, it is cheap, but the warmth performance is not as good as the real silk cotton, the real silk cotton is processed from silk, in fact, it is often added to the composition of imitation silk cotton, and its thermal performance is not as good as down. Down generally refers to duck down and goose down, but down cotton often contains silk-like components.

So down is the best, space cotton is the cheapest, silk cotton is in the middle, as long as something is too cheap, you can think that the space cotton content in it has increased by ......

1. Different materials: silk cotton is a synthetic chemical fiber, and down is made of microfiber and down of different specifications through a special process, because the quality is similar to down, so it is called down cotton. 2. The warmth effect is different:

The warmth effect of silk cotton is not as good as that of down cotton, and the breathability of silk cotton is not as good as that of down cotton, and the weight is much heavier than that of down cotton. Down cotton can be combed and formed, while silk cotton cannot be combed and formed, and down cotton is an ideal substitute for down. 3. Different washing methods:

Down cotton needs to be hand washed, not dry cleaned. Too frequent dry cleaning will damage the warmth function of the down cotton, and it is easy to age the fabric, the best washing method for down cotton is to wash it by hand with a professional neutral detergent, and silk cotton has no requirements for washing.

The so-called down cotton is actually hollow cotton, but it is not real cotton, but hollow polyester is used as filling, because the air is insulated, so it has a certain warmth.

Down is more expensive.

The first ** of feather velvet is more expensive than imitation silk cotton, and the quality is much better, feather velvet is a kind of ultra-fine silicon-containing hollow polyester staple fiber, which is a relatively high-grade type of polyester fiber.

Feather silk cotton, also known as silkworm cotton, has a high health care and recuperation effect, and is generally used as a filler; The down is a kind of ultra-fine chemical fiber that imitates duck down and goose down, in which the quality of down is much higher than that of feather, and is generally used to make quilts and other supplies, similar to space quilts or down jackets.

The difference between down and cotton.

1. The raw materials are different.

Silk cotton: A material made of silk that is used for processing, by means of a chaotic yarn on the surface of a crucible. Feather cotton: Microfibers of different specifications manufactured by a special process.

2. The characteristics are different.

Silk cotton: After scrubbing, sericin dissolves and the fibers relax. It has good warmth and can be used for clothing and application. Feather silk: light and thin, delicate to the touch, soft, good heat preservation, not easy to deform, not slippery.
