Sintepooh

SintepoohSintepooh is a filler made of polyester fibers, one of the varieties of padding polyester. The name of the material is derived from the phrase “synthetic down”. This emphasizes the similarity of the new type of filler with the natural down of waterfowl.

Description and structure of synthetic down

Among other artificial materials, synthetic fluff stands out for its special softness and airiness. It consists of many very fine polyester fibers. Each hair, despite its minimal thickness, has an internal void or cavity. Therefore, the fabric produced is voluminous and light at the same time. The surface of the artificial down fibers is smooth, with a silicone film applied on top.

During the production process, the fibers are twisted into a spiral or ball shape.

Important! No glue or other chemicals are used in the production of synthetic fluff.

Properties of artificial filler

Thanks to its structure, the material has received the following valuable qualities:

  • Lightness caused by numerous air bubbles that fill the space between the fibers. The voids in the fibers themselves give the material additional airiness and weightlessness.
  • Low hygroscopicity created by cavities in the fibers. Their sizes are so small that drops of moisture cannot penetrate inside. The outer walls of the fibers do not get wet either, because they are protected by silicone.
  • Fibers twisted into spirals or balls have spring properties. When squeezed, they quickly expand and retain their original shape.

Advantages of synthetic filler

The properties of the fibers allowed the fabric to occupy a leading position among a variety of insulation and fillers.

Advantages of the material:

  • Air layers provide high thermal insulation of the material, so things with synthetic down are very warm and protect well from low temperatures. At the same time, they allow the filler to “breathe”. This breathability ensures comfortable thermoregulation for the body.
  • The silicone layer on the threads gives the artificial material all the properties of goose down. Synthetic down is a water-repellent material, thanks to this, things with it are difficult to get wet.
  • The fibers also do not accumulate static electricity and do not retain odors.
  • The elasticity of fibers is an important quality for clothing. The insulation in it does not crumple or get knocked down, things do not stretch, but retain their shape well when used.

Important! Wet clothes and other items with synthetic down dry faster than items with other fillings.

Disadvantages of synthetic filler

SintepoohMost reviews about synthetic fluff talk about the advantages of the sealant. But it does have minor drawbacks.Frequent washing has a destructive effect on synthetic threads. At the same time, clothes with insulation will still look good, but keeping warm and keeping warm will become worse.

Safety level of synthetic fur

Synthetic fluff is absolutely safe and suitable for almost everyone: the material does not cause allergic reactions.

In addition to being hypoallergenic, it has another quality that is important for human health - it does not collect dust. The structure and properties of the fibers do not allow dust to accumulate, so conditions favorable for dust mites do not arise.

Important! Using items with synthetic down filling will not cause complications in patients with bronchial asthma and other pulmonary diseases.

How does synthetic fluff differ from other synthetic fillers?

Synthetic down differs from many other insulation materials in its environmental friendliness. This is due to the lack of glue during its production. No chemicals (except silicone) are also used to create synthetic fluff.

Use of synthetic down

The qualities of synthetic down have made it a material that is used very widely.

Cloth

Winter clothes with artificial down are very warm and light. It holds its shape well and does not restrict movement, so it is convenient for outdoor activities and sports.

Bed dress

Blankets, pillows, and mattresses with such contents are practical and create conditions for healthy sleep and comfortable rest. The properties of the material are especially appreciated by tourists, for whom a lightweight synthetic down sleeping bag reliably protects them from the cold.

Furniture

A special type of synthetic fluff (compacted) is used in the manufacture of upholstered furniture. The elastic material copes well with the functions of the filler; its low cost is important, this makes the products inexpensive for the buyer.

Toys

Synthetic fluff turned out to be very convenient for filling bulky children's toys. Even a child can easily move them, they do not cause injury, and are pleasant to the touch.

Handicraftsmen also loved the lush and elastic filler. They use it to make small thought pillows, pincushions, and also to fill homemade dolls.

Rules for caring for synthetic fluff

The artificial filler is easy to use and does not require special care.

Following simple rules will extend the life of use and preserve the quality of the material.

Wash

The products can be washed either by hand or in the drum of a washing machine. Acceptable washing mode: delicate.

Important! You can wash things in hot water, maximum temperature up to +90 °C, using a mild liquid detergent.

Spin

After washing, you need to wring out the items carefully, without any effort that could damage the structure of the fibers. Machine spinning is also possible.

Drying

Dry clothes and blankets in an upright position. To prevent things from looking wrinkled when drying, they need to be placed loosely and the folds carefully straightened out.

Important! Synthetic fluff can be dried only in natural conditions, without exposure to the rays of the open sun, without the use of heating devices.

Ironing

If necessary, items with padding can be ironed with an iron. Maximum heating temperature +100 °C.

It is no coincidence that synthetic down is called the filler of the 21st century: it combines the qualities and traditions of natural down with the high technologies of our time.
