The purpose of warm clothes is not to keep you warm. It should protect from the wind, maintain air ventilation and retain the heat generated by our body. And the more a person is in motion, the more heat he emits. When choosing the amount of insulation in clothing for yourself or a child, you need to focus on this feature. The faster the baby, the lighter his clothes.
Sintepon consists of polyester fiber. There are 3 ways to fasten it: adhesive, thermal, needle-punched. Adhesive-based padding polyester is prone to caking, gets loose when washed, is not environmentally friendly due to the presence of glue, and has poor thermal insulation despite its large weight.
Sintepon bonded by heating is better, it is environmentally friendly and does not cause allergic reactions. In needlepunched fibers, the fibers are held together by fiber needles; they have different directions. Items with filling made using the latter method are elastic and retain their shape well.
This filler can have a density from 50 to 600 g.per m². A person feels comfortable in clothes with a padding polyester lining in the autumn-spring period and warm winter. For frosty winters, it is worth choosing jackets with more modern filling.
On a note! Glued padding polyester cannot be washed. Dry cleaning is recommended. The needle-punched and thermally bonded material tolerates washing well in the washing machine.
At what air temperature should you wear products with synthetic winterizer 200 insulation?
The selection of filler density is determined not only by the air temperature outside the window. The strength and direction of the wind, air humidity play an important role in human sensations. Jackets and coats filled with padding polyester 200 are standardly designed for late autumn and warm winters down to -10 °C. In windy weather, it won’t hurt to wear a warm sweater or fleece sweatshirt.
What kind of weather is a jacket with padding polyester insulation 300 g/m² suitable for?
Insulation is placed in layers in clothing. A jacket with padding polyester filling can have 3 layers, each with a density of 100 grams. per m². And in total the density is 300 g. This is the best option for a very cold winter by European standards, with temperatures down to -25 °C. For Siberia with frosts below 30 °C, such clothes will be cold.
Insulation with a density of 150–250 g/m² - what kind of weather can an adult wear?
Everyone is familiar with the situation when in spring or autumn it is frosty in the morning, but warm in the afternoon and you don’t know how to dress. When buying warm clothes, you should check with the seller what the density of the filler is. The recommended density for the second half of autumn, when frosts begin and the temperature drops to -5 degrees Celsius, is 150 g/m². In winter frosts down to -20 °C, the optimal option would be a padding polyester density of 250 g/m². The data is relevant for adults, children do not have such a high heat transfer, but they are more active, overweight people freeze less than thin people.
Optimal temperature conditions for products with padding polyester insulation with a density of 100 g/m²
Warm autumn or spring, when the air temperature fluctuates within +5 °C, it will be light and comfortable in a coat with a synthetic filling density of 100. It is with this volume of insulation that a jacket or overalls will be moderately warm and light at the same time.
Features of padding polyester products of different densities
A good item with padding polyester filler, regardless of its density, should have a number of characteristics:
- heat-saving effect;
- volume, elasticity and lightness of products;
- recovers quite easily after washing;
- hypoallergenic;
- tolerates both dry cleaning and washing at home at a temperature of 30 degrees;
- there are no conditions for the appearance of saprophytes, mold and moths.
The low cost of the material allows it to be used in a wide variety of areas of life. Filling of different densities is used not only in outerwear, but also in the textile industry for sewing quilted bedspreads, blankets, as a layer in mattresses, pillows and soft toys.
Sintepon is actively used in the production of upholstered furniture; it is placed between the upholstery and the foam base to soften the seats. Even in the aquarium industry there is a place for padding polyester; it is used in water filters.
Important! The higher the density, the thicker the filler layer. Clothing for cold weather will make you feel clumsy.
What is the difference between density 60 and 400 g/m²
The difference between the smallest and largest density of padding polyester is its weight, volume and heat-saving ability.Density 60 can be used in very thin raincoats, light bedspreads, etc. But a seal with a density of 400 g/m² is suitable for jackets that can be worn in 30-degree frost.
Melting point of padding polyester
The polyester fibers from which the padding polyester filler is made melt at a temperature of 250 degrees. When heated to 180, it loses its strength. Therefore, when ironing, you need to set the temperature correctly so that the product lasts longer. Washing is recommended with a water temperature of 30–40 °C on a delicate cycle.
What density of padding polyester in jackets and overalls is suitable for a child depending on the season
All children are different, some run in circles the entire walk, while others prefer to contemplate the world around them while sitting in a stroller. Depending on your mobility, you should choose clothes. Sintepon as a filler for children's outerwear has proven itself to be not the best option. It is good for temperatures down to -10 -15 degrees. Moreover, the layers of insulation in different parts of the clothing are uneven. The most insulated areas are the torso, knees, butt, and elbows. But the sleeves and pants of the overalls are made thinner so as not to restrict movement. Moving body parts generate more heat.
Buying one jacket for the entire cold period is not an option. At temperatures outside the window down to -10 degrees, overalls with insulation of 100–200 g/m² are suitable; for -15 °C it is better to choose a density of 300. Jackets with quilted vests will help you save your family budget. Inactive babies should not be wrapped in very warm clothes; thick filling will make them even more clumsy. It is better to take shorter and more frequent walks, allowing the child to warm up at home.
Important! Sintepon is a budget insulation material for outerwear.Despite the emergence of more modern fillers, it continues to be used and, with proper care, can serve for quite a long time.
