Two or three things you have to know about fur

  Fur clothing, refers to all kinds of clothing with fur as the main raw material. At present, in the market, there are fur, fur and fur. There are different opinions. In fact, "fur", "fur" and "fur" are different appellations in different periods. At present, the raw materials commonly used to make fur clothing include wool skin, raccoon dog skin, rabbit skin, as well as fox skin, mink skin and other rare animal fur. In modern times, the main raw material of fur clothing is no longer wild animal fur, but mainly cultured animal fur.

  In the English label, the treated original skin is taken from the big animal's name hide and the small animal's name skin. Leather is a kind of leather made by removing hair and tanning.

  

  Fur clothing has a long history in China. The traditional Chinese fur making technology was formed as early as the end of the Shang Dynasty more than 3000 years ago. There are pictographs in the oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty showing "fur making is outside". According to the popular science compiled before, Bigan, the prime Minister of the Shang Dynasty, was the first to invent the fur making technology of cooked fur in Chinese history. People make fur clothing through the fur of salted animals. As a result, the North has always been used to call it "fur", and bican is also regarded as "the ancestor of Chinese fur". Fur clothing has always been one of the top-grade clothing for women in winter.

  

  Physical and chemical performance index:

  

  The physical and chemical properties of fur used in clothing mainly include tear force, specified load elongation, color fastness to rubbing, pH and dilution difference, peculiar smell, so as to meet the basic use performance of clothing.

  

  (1) tear force: tear force is the key index of fur for clothing, which reflects the wearability of clothing. The tearing force of all fur used for clothing shall be greater than 10N.

  

  (2) load elongation: the load elongation reflects the tensile property of fur, which is usually the elongation under the specified load of 5N / mm2. For all furs used in clothing, the load elongation shall be between 20% and 60%.

  

  (3) color fastness to rubbing: the color fastness to rubbing reflects the combination fastness of dyes on leather surface and wool quilt, which is usually tested by dry rubbing 50 times and wet rubbing 10 times under the specified load. For all furs used for clothing, the dry rubbing fastness of leather surface shall be no less than 3 / 4 grade, and the wet rubbing fastness shall be no less than 3 grade; the dry rubbing fastness of wool quilt shall be no less than 4 grade, and the wet rubbing fastness shall be no less than 3 grade.

  

  (4) pH and dilution difference: pH reflects the content of free acid in fur. The pH value of all fur used for clothing should be between 4.0 and 6.5; at the same time, when the pH value is less than 4.0, the pH dilution difference (10 times dilution) should be further determined, which should be less than 0.7.

  

  Environmental protection and safety performance:

  

  The safety performance of fur is mainly related to environmental protection and safety indexes such as hexavalent chromium, formaldehyde and banned aromatic amine dyes. Corresponding regulations or mandatory standards have been formulated at home and abroad. The limit of hexavalent chromium is 3 mg / kg, and that of banned aromatic amine dyes is 30 mg / kg. The limit of formaldehyde is between 20mg / kg and 300mg / kg, among which the formaldehyde in baby products should be less than or equal to 20mg / kg, and that in products directly contacting skin (such as underwear) used by adults should be less than or equal to 75mg / kg.

  

  Shopping Tips

  

  1. appearance. Board quality is good, fur color is bright, plush is rich and fine, fur is smooth, flexible and loose. The length and thickness of the coat are basically the same.

  

  2. touch. Feel plump and soft, no obvious hair loss, such as dry, hard, rough and astringent, then.

  

  3. mouth blowing. When blowing fur on the surface of the mouth, the needles roll like waves of water. At the same time, when blowing, pay attention to whether there is dirt in the wool, whether there is any defect in the hairs, and whether there is any defect inside. It's called "nitpicking."

  

  4. nose sniffing. Fur clothing should have no strong peculiar smell and be tasteless.

  

  5. hand trembling. Use your hands to lift the clothes upside down, shake gently up and down. The action of the wool surface should be flexible, and the weight should not be too heavy. Generally, the lighter is better.

  

  6. Material type. For consumers without basic fur knowledge, one is to look at the types indicated in the product identification, or to check the test reports given by some qualified third-party laboratories.

  

  Maintenance method:

  

  Fur clothing is one of the top-grade clothing for women in winter. It looks elegant after wearing.

  

  Fur coats are made of the fur of mink, fox, rat, sheep, roe deer, beaver and other animals, so they are expensive. When wearing them, more attention should be paid to scientific maintenance.

  

  1. Try to keep the fur coat clean. It's not suitable for snowy and rainy days. If you accidentally wet or stain the fur, you must deal with it in time, wipe off the water with a dry cloth, and then dry it in a dry and ventilated place. If there is dust and dirt on the clothes under normal circumstances, it is necessary to dust them off in time, and use a hot towel to wipe the dirt along the direction of the hair to avoid pollution of the fur.

  

  2. Before collecting fur coats, it is necessary to dry them for 2-3 hours, and then collect them after the waste heat is dissipated. When drying, pay special attention to that the fur should not be directly exposed to the sun. It is better to cover a layer of cloth to ensure the luster of the fur. Otherwise, the skin will be hard and aged and lose the elasticity of the leather when exposed to the sun.

  

  3. Before collecting fur coats, first dust off the surface, and then put paper wrapped sanitary balls in the clothes, and stack them in the dry wardrobe. It is not allowed to put heavy objects on clothes directly. Before the rainy season, it's better to take out the clothes and dry them for a while, ventilate them and disperse the moisture to prevent mildew and moth.
