Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of fabric technology, and in particular to an artificial down fabric, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Existing alternatives to down, such as medium-density cotton, suffer from poor warmth retention and durability, are prone to clumping after washing, and cannot be dyed. Currently, they can only be used in the low-to-mid-range market, while the high-end market still primarily relies on down.
[0003] At the same time, people's respect for animal rights and awareness of protection are increasing, and the price of down is subject to large market fluctuations, leading to an increase in the corresponding product costs; moreover, the existing down fabrics are not very warm, affecting the comfort of wearing in winter; and as the usage time increases, the decomposition of down protein fibers will produce odors.
