TOWEL PRODUCTS HAVE MANY BRANDS, rich styles and large price differences. In recent years, many manufacturers have advertised their
products as "Egyptian cotton", "long staple cotton" and other raw materials, using non-twisting spinning process manufacturing, products with good water
absorption skin soft, washable and durable advantages, but consumers are difficult to obtain effective consumption guidance from these professional terms,
a little accidentally, and even spend money to buy "problem" hotel towels
What are the common quality problems of towels? What causes the towel to lose hair? How to choose a good towel? Today, this article once and for all
to introduce you clearly.
WHAT ARE THE COMMON QUALITY PROBLEMS OF TOWELS? What causes the towel to lose hair? How to choose a good towel? Today,
this article once and for all to introduce you clearly.
1. COMMON QUALITY PROBLEMS OF TOWELS
1) FIBER CONTENT
Fiber content is one of the most concerned content when consumers buy. The main reasons for the unqualified fiber content are: the production enterprises
are negligent in quality supervision, the fiber content of yarn raw materials is not strictly controlled before production, and the finished products are not inspected
and tested accordingly after production, or there are subjective and intentional shoddy situations.
(2) pH VALUE
1. The pH value of normal human skin is between 5.5 and 6.5, which is weakly acidic, and the PH of the towel is not qualified, which will cause irritation to
the skin.
2. The pH value of daily towels as class B products should be between 4.0 and 8.5, and chemical additives such as dyes, softeners and color fixing agents
will be used in the dyeing and finishing process to improve the performance of towels. Businesses may reduce the number or time of washing in order to
save costs, resulting in pH value difficult to meet the standard.
(3) WATER ABSORPTION
1. Water absorption of different raw materials will also be different, such as cotton towels are much better than polyester towels. At the same time, towels with
thicker or longer fluff showed stronger water absorption.
2. In order to make the towel softer and feel better, add softener, but add a non-hydrophilic softener or add too much will make the finished product produce
a layer of grease, reduce the friction between the fibers, prevent water penetration, reduce the water storage capacity between the fibers, and affect the water
absorption effect.
3. The national standard requires the water absorption of towels: excellent products ≤10s, first-class products ≤20s, qualified products ≤30s.
(4) HAIR REMOVAL RATE
Towel hair loss is very headache, if the hair removal rate is not qualified, the residual fibers after washing are very obvious and difficult to remove, and the
fibers left in the face are very easy to enter the nasal cavity with breathing after drying, which will stimulate the nasal mucosa and cause physical discomfort.

TWO: CHOOSING THE RIGHT SUPPLIER IS INDISPENSABLE
A good supplier to sell towels, there is a certain quality assurance, some too cheap hotel towel manufacturers, prone to a lot of problems, so in the selection
of suppliers must choose the right - you can choose a brand and have a certain automation equipment, production capacity of high daily production
manufacturers
THIRD, TOWEL PURCHASE MASTER CAMP
The industry is clear, look at the implementation of the manufacturer's information standard is not enough, in order to avoid buying low-quality towels, the following
information to highlight yo ~
1, FIBER YARN DETERMINES THE QUALITY OF TOWELS
(1) The yarn used to manufacture towel fabric is mainly divided into three kinds: weft yarn, ground warp yarn and wool loop warp yarn, cotton yarn and linen
yarn because of its good water absorption and become the ideal raw materials for the preparation of towel fabric, hosiery warp has been widely used by
manufacturers in the preparation of towels, household textiles and other products.
(2) The thicker the general thickness of the towel, the stronger the water absorption, that is, the longer the fiber length, the better the water absorption, but the
general fiber length can not exceed 8mm, can not be shorter than 3.5mm, too short water absorption will become worse. In addition, the same thickness of the
product, the use of finer fibers, better water absorption. Therefore, for conventional twisted towels, the higher the number of yarn, the higher the quality requirements
of the yarn itself, the current market of ordinary hair bath towels 16-21 more, in high-end spas and some five-star hotels executive suites and above hair bath towels
can be achieved 32.
2. THE INFLUENCE OF TEXTILE PROCESS ON TOWEL FABRIC
(1) In recent years, non-twist towels have gradually increased in the market. Here is a brief explanation, most of our common towels are twist-type, among which, the
towel of the strong twist process is durable, but the softness of the skin is poor. The softness and skin affinity of towels with low twist process are slightly better than
those with twist. The softness and skin affinity of the non-twist material are particularly good, but the velvet drop rate is high.
(2) Since there are advantages and disadvantages of twisting without twisting, is there more balance between softness, skin affinity and velvet? Learn about the silk
spinning process.
(3) We just mentioned untwisted yarn, by dissolving the vinylon in the yarn to form the yarn twist free effect, so that the towel woven with untwisted yarn is particularly
soft and fluffy. However, untwisted yarn has the following shortcomings:
① The strength of yarn is low, easy to fall down;
② The vinylon component dissolved in the dye solution is difficult to deal with and is not easy to degrade;
③ The use of vinylon to produce non-twist yarn increases the difficulty of sewage treatment and the cost is high.
(4) At present, most of the products on the market are soft yarn yarn, soft silk spinning process products are more shiny, fluffy and elastic, and the color rate is high, and
the color saturation is high.
(5) Silk soft spinning adopts physical method, the inner layer fiber of a yarn is S twist direction, the outer fiber is Z twist direction, a positive and reverse twist direction makes
the gap between the fibers, the formation of air layer makes the yarn core structure become soft. However, this process is currently used in a small number of high-end brands,
and the price is higher.
3,EXCESSIVE PRINTING AND DYEING PROCESSING AFFECTS THE QUALITY OF TOWELS
Towel and most textiles, in the production process will add a lot of dyes and auxiliaries, small workshop printing and dyeing auxiliaries poor quality, will damage the strength of
fiber yarn; Batch color difference is inevitable in the production process. If the color difference is large, the production workshop may dye twice in order to make up for the color
difference between batches, which will also cause the reduction of yarn strength and color fastness.
4. DON'T BELIEVE IN EXCESSIVE SOFTNESS
Many consumers will determine the quality through the softness of the towel, the manufacturer is to grasp this point, the softness of the towel is too good, often added to the
excessive softener, and reduce the water absorption of the towel. Therefore, consumers do not have to believe in excessive softness, fiber compaction can not drop hair,
fluffy moderate.
5. ADVANTAGES OF CLASS A PRODUCTS
The national standard GB18401-2010 "National Basic Safety Technical Specifications for Textiles" carries out ABC three classifications on textiles, grade A for infant products,
its testing standards are more stringent than class BC, usually towels are class B, if the product can be produced and tested in accordance with class A standards, the comprehensive
quality must be very good. This is also the reason why many textiles originally belonging to Class B or Class C have been classed as class A in recent years, and at the same time,
the peer quality standard mutual volume, it does also make the safety experience of consumers better.
6. HAIR LOSS IS INDEED POSSIBLE DURING USE
(1) The towel is rubbed many times a day, and a small part of the fiber lint is pulled out and then peeled during the friction process, which is normal, and the regular brand of towels
will do the hair removal rate test to achieve quality assurance.
(2) Careful readers will notice that pure cotton towels are washed at high temperature for regular sterilization and disinfection, but after repeated washing, they will not only have
decreased softness and poor feel, but also certain damage, the former because the content of softener is gradually reduced, the latter may be because of "active" brittleness loss,
pure cotton products are dyed with reactive dyes. In the washing environment after high temperature, there is a strong drop, which will inevitably cause the towel to lose hair or
break.
