Problems of insulation selection

Over the past years and in the troubled times of financial turmoil, many have become accustomed to justify the quality of their products with a low price, external reasons, to cover up deception behind words about competition and market laws. But practice shows that success is achieved only by those who can give for their products "honest word". Because when there is a production flow, you simply will not have time to check every square centimeter. And as a result, after checking the quality of products, the reputation of not just one jacket, but the brand as a whole may suffer. Therefore, it is important to find a good supplier.
As a technologist of a large manufacturing enterprise, I want to express my personal thoughts. I think they will be close to many industry specialists with whom they have to communicate almost daily.
Due to the rapid growth of nonwovens production in recent years, many synthetic insulation materials have appeared today, and the process of choosing the optimal one is a real headache for the sewing worker. In fact, it is not easy in the variety of goods to choose not the most advertised, but the truly best in terms of price and quality. Moreover, a good product is the work of professionals and, of course, modern technologies.
Not all productions are the same. Someone produces a really high-quality product, someone is focused on the cheap segment of heaters that have received an unflattering definition of "disposable". Diversity in the market generates competition. This is not bad, even good, because it forces manufacturers to fight for the sewing worker. But often this is what hinders the seamstress, takes his time to solve advertising riddles. I don't want to seem like an ardent opponent of advertising, I just want to urge traders and manufacturers of synthetic insulation to take care of our sewing machine, take care of his time. For my part, I want to familiarize consumers with convenient working information that can be used as a hint when choosing a heater.
We produce non-woven high-volume synthetic insulation by thermal bonding. This technology makes it possible to produce materials in an environmentally friendly way without the use of chemical binders. All the thermal insulation materials that come to you pass through my hands: you put in your products a material that will not let you down.
Our company produces more than a thousand varieties of insulation «Holofiber». Depending on your requirements, we produce insulation of increased volume, high indelibility, material with the presence of calendered sides, etc. Calendering is the process of finishing non-woven fabric, which avoids migration through the lining fabric and the upper fabric during operation.
I will not err against the truth if I call «Holofiber® SOFTWARE» a universal insulation that meets all modern requirements for heat conservation, migration and recoverability. He managed to prove himself both in fashion clothing and special purpose clothing. It has been used for more than ten years without any complaints in children's, sports and special clothing. We are constantly in contact with customers and always openly discuss the properties and behavior of canvases.
When assessing the quality of synthetic insulation materials, I recommend paying attention to the uniformity of the web, the smoothness of the calendered layer (if available), the uniformity of the arrangement of fibers in the web. The Holofiber, by the way, has an uneven distribution by weight of less than 5%! Such an indicator can be achieved using only high-tech equipment. This is the key to the quality and reliability of the insulation, its effectiveness.
It is important to take into account the ability of the material to recover, as well as the strength of the canvas. Thanks to these qualities «Holofiber» remains warm and retains its shape during prolonged use and numerous washings. Take a closer look at the uniformity of the color of the canvas. If the insulation is snow-white, without gray inclusions, then this is a sign of the use of primary quality fibers. Large enterprises try to protect their products from counterfeit and supply products with lice and hinged labels. This is an additional guarantee of the quality of products.
In general, the insulation market is large today, sometimes it is not so easy to choose, but if you analyze the technical characteristics carefully and carefully, pay attention to important details, then you can choose the optimal insulation that meets modern requirements and, most importantly, your tasks.
