HOW TO CHOOSE A HIGH-QUALITY TOWEL? LET'S LOOK AT EACH ONE
ONE COTTON SAFETY
The fundamental premise of quality must be health and safety. Even in the selection of men's clothing, it is necessary to pay
attention to the fabric grade, which is related to and affects the skin health. At present, in the standards of the quality inspection
department, China's highest safety standard for textiles is - infant textiles, it needs to reach the highest safety level of class A
standards, otherwise it will be banned from production and sales.
THIS HIGHEST SAFETY RATING INCLUDES SEVERAL SAFETY INDICATORS:
1. Chemical safety
2. Microbiological safety
3. Mechanical property safety
In the simplest words: what are the safety requirements of the state for class A textiles for infants and toddlers - that is, formaldehyde
aromatic amines, heavy metals and other substances harmful to the body are strictly prohibited or quantified, and please write down
the name of this safety indicator:
Class GB31701-2015A
Our towels are textile products that are wiped directly after bathing and touch the naked body, so they should also refer to this health
standard, and the family, even if it is a baby, can also be assured to use
TWO: HIGH-QUALITY RAW MATERIALS
For towels, the water absorption and skin affinity required by their raw materials are still cotton, the best raw material category in
natural fibers.
Cotton is divided into ordinary upland cotton and long-staple cotton. I believe everyone is familiar with long-staple cotton. When sharing
men's shirts, coats and casual pants made of cotton, we all mention this raw material repeatedly. And in the high-quality home textiles, it
is also indispensable
IN THE PLANT CHARACTERISTICS,THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE LONG STAPLE COTTON AND
ORDINARY COTTON IS THAT:
Long staple cotton growth cycle is longer: long staple cotton growth period is 10-15 days longer than ordinary cotton
(under the same heat conditions)
Long staple cotton fiber is longer: generally 33 ~ 45 mm; And ordinary cotton is generally less than 31 mm
The fineness of long staple cotton is finer: generally 7000 ~ 8500 m/g, the width of 15 ~ 16 microns; The ordinary cotton is
generally 5000 ~ 6500 meters/g, the width of 18 ~ 20 microns
The strength of long staple cotton is higher: generally 4 ~ 5 g/root, the breaking length is 33 ~ 40 kilometers; Ordinary cotton is
generally 3 to 4 grams per root, and the breaking length is 20 to 25 kilometers
Long staple cotton turning more: generally for 80 ~ 120 / cm; Ordinary cotton is generally 39~65 / cm
Long staple cotton is also divided into producing areas, and several famous products include Xinjiang long staple cotton in China
GIZA cotton in Egypt, pima cotton in the United States, Island cotton in the West Indies and Sauven cotton in South India
If we use simple words, long staple cotton as a high-quality raw material for home textiles and bathing equipment, where is it best in
the physical experience?
Towels made of long staple cotton, longer cotton fibers will bring more soft, delicate and skin-friendly body feeling; Thinner yarn will
make it more breathable and comfortable; And more twisting will also bring stronger hugging between the cotton yarn, making the towel
more wear-resistant, washable, durable. In addition, textile raw materials have a common, if the more slender the native fiber, then it
will be woven out of the product in appearance will have a better sense of luster and sag.
THREE: HIGH QUALITY TOWEL SELECTION CRITERIA
HOTEL CLASS LARGE ZIZE:
In terms of the size of the bath towel, the general standard is generally 140cm x 70cm, and the high-end bath towels used in luxury hotels
are generally designed to be larger than this area, so that the towel is more generous and more conducive to wrapping the whole body. For
example, the bath towel used by the Hilton Hotel will reach a large size of 150cm x 100cm.
INSTANTANEOUS WATER ABSORPTION:
1. The water absorption of the towel, in fact, there is a parameter can be referred to - under the premise of the same material, the higher the
GSM value of the fabric, the better the water absorption.
2.GSM value refers to the fabric [square meter gram weight], for example: a 1.4mx0.7m standard size bath towel, finished weight 400g, GSM
value is 400/ (1.4x0.7) ≈408, the higher the value, the thicker the fabric, the more water absorption.
