PP cotton is a kind of synthetic chemical cotton fiber, which is what we usually call "hollow cotton" or "doll cotton". It has the advantages of excellent extrusion resistance, easy cleaning, easy drying, quick drying and fluffy. Of course, what we value most is that PP cotton is extremely safe and does not contain chemical irritants such as formaldehyde and fluorescent agents. Therefore, factories often use it as a filler for plush toys, pillow cores and other items.
Another important point is that PP cotton is easy to clean, just clean it with detergent and dry it. However, due to the poor permeability of chemical fiber materials, PP cotton is easy to deform or agglomerate after a long time of use. Therefore, the doll master suggested that parents should try to choose those plush toys with good elasticity and certain brand awareness when choosing plush toys for their children. Even if the price is slightly higher, you can get a healthy and happy childhood for your baby!
Down cotton
Down cotton is what we call silk cotton in our daily life. This material is not real cotton, but made of superfine fiber through several special processes. Its appearance is very similar to down, so we call it "down cotton". It has many advantages, such as light and thin texture, good warmth retention and difficult deformation. According to its advantages, manufacturers often use it as a filling material for plush toys, down jackets and so on.
Of course, down cotton also has a very important advantage, that is, its production cost is relatively low and its cost performance is high, which is deeply loved by manufacturers and consumers. But the disadvantage of down cotton is also obvious, that is, it is not washable. In life, we often see the phenomenon that down jackets shrink after washing and their elasticity decreases, which is the "fly in the ointment" of down cotton. The same is true for plush toys, so if you have PP cotton as a choice, try to choose PP cotton with better quality ~
black heart cotton
Next is our negative textbook, the "black heart cotton" that frequently appeared in TV programs in previous years. First of all, black heart cotton is not actually a filler, but a general term for those illegal fillers on the market. In China, all the plush fillers that fail the quality inspection are called "black heart cotton". These fillers, which have not passed the quality inspection of national professional departments, will not only emit formaldehyde harmful to human body, but also carry a variety of pathogens such as bacteria, which will induce the baby to get sick!
Although China has been trying to reduce these illegal "black workshops", there are still a small number of "black-hearted" businessmen who make these "time bombs" without conscience! This requires our consumers to distinguish right from wrong in the process of buying, and resolutely resist those plush toys with strange taste or extremely low price! Never harm your child's health for cheap money!
