Content less than 50% can not be called silk quilt

On a cold winter night, it is a pleasure to have a lightweight, warm, healthy and stylish silk quilt. However, the reporter found in an interview recently that with the increasing popularity of silk quilts, counterfeit goods have also increased, allowing consumers to worry more about the purchases - it costs thousands of dollars to buy silk quilt, and it is very possible. Mulberry silk content is less than 50% of the "knockoff goods."

The supermarket is full of "knockoff goods"

"Ladder prices" make consumers "confident"

Walking into a supermarket in Xicheng Plaza, Wen'er West Road, the reporter saw that the bedding sales area was full of warmth.

In winter, a wide variety of beddings are dazzling, and among them, the most dazzling are silk quilts. Different brands of silk are packaged differently, and the price gap is also great. The reporter noticed that the cheapest of each as long as more than 200 yuan, more than 1,000 yuan - 2000 yuan, "cheap", "red rope" and other brand 2 kg of silk quilt, each price is in more than a thousand dollars.

As the weather gradually turns cooler, more and more customers buy silk quilt recently, but the "ladder price" of silk quilt makes consumers "head water": it looks like a similar silk quilt, but the price difference is a few hundred dollars! The price of this silk quilt is like a lost game, and most consumers cannot crack it.

In an interview, the reporter learned that the price of thousands of dollars scared away a large number of potential consumers. “When supermarkets purchased goods, they chose some silk quilt products that were relatively cheap but not well-known brand names. These products became hot sellers.” The staff then displayed several so-called “prices ranging from RMB 200 to RMB 400”. Cheap silk quilt."

The reporter also noticed that on the labels of these silk quilts, the content of silk in fillings only accounted for 20% to 30%, and some even only 10%. Most of the other ingredients are cotton, wool, rayon, or polyester fibers. Judging from the reporter’s recent visits, similar products are sold in urban and rural areas and in some large supermarkets in urban areas. The names of these products are “silk quilts”.

Online products cohabitation "100% mulberry silk" as low as 40 yuan / kg If the supermarket is in the silk is "cottage" can be identified, then the true and false products on the Internet is even more people "look in the fog".

Recently, an online shop selling silk quilts advertised that each of its stores sold were 100% premium mulberry silk quilt, which is now a seasonal promotion. The original price of 150cm×200cm (general single size) was 638 yuan. Now the "second kill price" is 497 yuan. The store sold 640 items within 30 days.

On the Internet, such businesses abound. An online shop in Suzhou has produced a "100% mulberry silk, handmade custom" advertisement, 100% of silk was sold only 40 yuan / kg. According to the average size of the Spring and Autumn period, each quilt weighs 3-4 pounds, and the most expensive is only 160 yuan, which is more than half of the 497 yuan in the previous store.

It is understood that the current purchase price of mulberry silk cotton raw material for silkworm breeding bases in China is around 130 yuan per catty on average, and regular senior mulberry silk is usually sold at 160-200 yuan per catty. According to this cost calculation, a high-quality 4 kg of 100% mulberry silk is cored, the raw material cost is at least 640 yuan, plus labor costs, packaging fees, transportation fees, etc., together, the retail price is close to 1000 yuan.

In this way, it is not difficult to see that the “100% mulberry silk” on the Internet at 40 yuan/kg is obviously a deceit for consumers. One netizen said, “This ultra-low price is far from the reality of the silk industry. Can it be real goods? It's too cheap, but I’m afraid to place orders.” The reporter learned from the interview that the more so "Ultra-low prices", the more consumers are not afraid to buy.

"Silk quilt" national standards have been implemented to see what the official can control, whether you cover authentic from one hundred to two thousand dollars, the price "staircase" arrangement of a variety of silk quilt, where are their differences?

The reporter learned from the website of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine that in February this year China implemented GB/T 24252-2009 "Silk quilt" national standards, and applied to mulberry silk cotton and tussah silk cotton as the main raw materials, and produced tires and tires. Set of quilting (including machine stitching and hand stitching) made of silk quilt.

The standard clarifies that the quilt with silk as the main filler can be called silk quilt and can be divided into pure silk quilt and mixed silk quilt. Among them, 100% of silk is called pure silk quilt, and 50% or more of silk content is mixed silk quilt. Content less than 50% cannot be called silk quilt.

This is very clear: the so-called "silk quilt" with less than 50% silk content is "knockout goods"!

News Link Expert Weapons: How can we get genuine silk quilts in three steps? Industry experts tell consumers that they must master the "three-step method" when purchasing silk quilt.

A touch: consumers can touch silk. The high-quality silk is covered with a drape, and it feels soft and close to the body, while the chemical fiber feels more empty and fluffy. At the same time, high quality silk is not easy to tear, and mulberry silk is longer, up to about 100 cm. Tan silk is relatively short, generally only 20 centimeters.

Two look: The brand's silk quilt, four corners of the ramp are two or three centimeters of small holes for consumers to observe. The appearance of high-quality silk is pearl color, with diffuse reflection of light, less impurities, and an orderly silk path. The poor quality silk is pale, dull and moist, with many impurities and messy silk.

Three news: Since silk is an animal fiber, it will carry the odor of the silkworm itself. Through the small holes, consumers can identify with the sense of smell. Silk has a special kind of silk aroma, while silk with an oily or musty odor is a bad product.

In addition, consumers can also use 84 disinfectant for inspection. Because the disinfectant contains hypochlorous acid, and the main component of natural silk is animal protein, in a transparent glass filled with a cup of disinfectant 84, and then put the silk into, within a minute or two, the silk will dissolve quickly. However, cotton or chemical fiber cannot be dissolved.
