After calendering and ironing, the surface of the silk-like cotton is smooth, light and thin, with a fine and soft hand feeling, good heat preservation, and washing resistance. , It is not easy to deform, does not run out of silk, feels like down, has a slender texture, and the surface is soft as silk. It will not deform after repeated washing in a washing machine. It is a filling material suitable for washing and sand washing.

What is down cotton

Because their quality is like down, it is called down cotton, which fills the gap in the down substitutes in the market. This product is thin, delicate, soft, good heat preservation, not easy to deform, and impervious to silk. It is widely used in various warm products such as down jackets, ski suits, and cold-proof clothing.

The difference between down cotton and imitation silk cotton

One is the classification difference.

Feather cotton is a kind of cotton spinning, but the down cotton will be clumps, and the appearance of the ready-made garment can imitate the down jacket, but it feels too soft and not skinny to the touch. Moreover, silk-like cotton is an excellent fabric, which can be used as excellent cold-proof clothing, soft clothing, bed sheets, excellent winter clothing, etc., can be used as a filler for such clothes, and has good comfort. At the same time, silk-like cotton is also an ideal material to replace down.

The second is the difference in comfort.

Down cotton has a down feel, and the material is light and has the same warmth retention performance. Good, down cotton is much lighter than down cotton, and can be widely used in warm products such as ski shirts, down jackets, and cold-proof clothing. It is a good spray cotton.
