Why does unqualified fiber content become a "stubborn disease" of textile products
The fiber content is the basic quality factor that determines the comfort and health of a garment. In recent years, it has become the primary factor for many textiles to fail the quality inspection activities. According to professionals, the content of raw materials such as cotton and wool in clothing fabrics is reduced by 10% or more, which is generally difficult for consumers to distinguish, and the difference in wearing comfort is not large, but for manufacturers, the difference in production costs is very large. So, why exactly is this?
According to the analysis of the textile experimenters in the scientific standard inspection, the reasons for the disqualification are that the company has not established a good raw material inspection system and lacks effective control mechanisms and methods for the purchase of fabrics; second, the company lacks professional fiber content inspection personnel and testing equipment , The fiber content data is directly forged and marked on the label without detection; third, the company directly marked the fiber content provided by the fabric supplier, and the actual detected composition is inconsistent with the label; fourth, some companies know that the fiber content is wrong, and yet A certain fiber content is deliberately marked so that the product is easy to sell, and the new fiber content is high, and the price is generally high.
"Of course, consumers don't have to worry, because domestic textile testing agencies can become the first line of defense for product production, and will not give qualified testing certificates and certification certificates to unqualified products and their manufacturers," Kebiao Testing said. As for Science Standard Testing, it has many years of experience in fiber testing and analysis. It has not only introduced equipment and technical teams in accordance with ASTM, AATCC, ISO, EN and other standards, but also built color fastness, dimensional stability, and appearance. Almost all testing items including longevity are authoritative third-party testing agencies recognized by the state.
Fiber content is one of the important quality indicators of clothing products, and it is also one of the important factors that determine the value of the product. Consumers often choose products based on the explicit fiber content. Warm reminder of standard testing: It is very important to master the necessary common sense of purchase.
1. The first choice is big-name companies and well-known brands. Relatively speaking, big companies have strong self-management ability, high spot check rate, and high credibility of labeling content.
2. Check whether the label content, product name, factory name, location, fiber content, washing and maintenance methods, etc. are correct and compliant.
3. When purchasing, pay attention to whether the product has abnormal or pungent odors such as sour, pungent, etc. If so, try not to buy the product.
4. Check whether there are needle holes or signs of cracking and damage in the suture part, because if there is a problem with the sewing needle in the production, the yarn in some parts will be broken, resulting in subsequent loops falling off, which is more serious Defects.
5. Don't blindly pursue high-priced products. Because knitted underwear products are products with open prices, their product pricing is more based on the target consumer group, so the price difference between large brands and small brands does not fully reflect the quality gap.
