In the pursuit of fashion and practicality, faux fur fabrics are popular for their diverse styles and relatively affordable prices. But for consumers, especially foreign trade practitioners, it is crucial to learn to identify faux fur fabrics.
First look at the appearance. High-quality faux fur fabrics have a smooth and even surface, and the fluff is arranged regularly and in a moderate density. If the fluff is uneven, the length difference is too large, or there are obvious lumps and lumps, the quality may be poor. At the same time, the edges of the fabric should be neat and there should be no rough edges, otherwise it is easy to shed during use.
Texture and feel are also key points for identification. Gently touch the faux fur fabric with your hands, and the faux fur fabric feels soft and smooth, with a certain degree of elasticity. Poor-quality faux fur may feel rough, hard to the touch, and lack elasticity. In addition, high-quality fabrics will not have a strong pungent smell. If you smell a clear odor, it is likely that too many chemicals have been added or improperly handled. Such fabrics may have problems in quality and safety.
Burning can also be effective for identification. Take a small handful of fluff from the edge of the fabric and burn it. When artificial fur burns, it usually smells like burning paper, the flame is yellow, and it will slowly go out after leaving the fire source, leaving black granular ashes. If it produces a lot of black smoke and a strong fragrance when burning, and the ashes are hard and fragile, it may be other materials.
Lighting can also help. When the fabric is placed under the light, the fluff of artificial fur will show a uniform lodging state and the light is brighter; while natural fur may have local irregular lodging and uneven reflection.
Accurately identifying artificial fur fabrics can not only help consumers buy truly high-quality fur products, but also for foreign trade companies, it is an important part of protecting their own reputation and avoiding trade disputes. I hope these simple and practical identification methods can provide convenience for everyone.
