A brief introduction to the difference between down and down cotton

  Down is the flower-like down that grows on the bellies of geese and ducks with scales called feathers. Because down is an animal protein fiber, it is more insulating than cotton (vegetable cellulose), and as the temperature changes, the shuttlecock-shaped fibers are densely covered with thousands of small triangular holes and may shrink and swell. Temperature adjustment function.

It absorbs the hot air produced by the body and isolates the cold air from the outside world. Down can be divided into duck down and goose down, but duck down is very common in the market. The editor of the down factory below will introduce down cotton and the difference between it and down.

  Down cotton: Cotton with microfibers of different specifications manufactured through a special process is called down cotton, because it fills the gap in the market for down substitutes with the same quality as down. It is light and thin, has a delicate touch, is soft, has excellent heat retention, is not easy to deform, is not thread-through, has a soft feeling, and has the same weight or higher heat retention. Widely used in down jackets, ski jackets and winter clothing.

Warm products. There are two types of down cotton. One is shaped like carded cotton, similar to DuPont cotton, also known as imitation goose down cotton.

The other has no shape, resembles PP cotton, and feels like down. Ideal for down. The so-called down cotton is actually hollow cotton, but it is not real cotton, but hollow polyester as a filler.

Because the air is insulated, it is somewhat warm.

  In comparing the two, the difference is stark.

  (1) Down is a natural fiber, while down cotton (hollow cotton) is a chemical fiber.

  ⑵The degradation is very high, the quality is very good, but of course the price is also very high.

  (3) Down jacket has better thermal performance than down cotton.
