Plush toys are every child's best friend and companion. In life, parents will not hesitate to choose one or more plush toys for their little apples. Children can learn about the world around them from toys. Toys attract children's curiosity and attention with their bright colors, beautiful and strange shapes and dexterous activities. Nowadays, many children like to buy plush toys when buying toys. On the one hand, because many plush toys have the image of anime characters, and plush toys appear in front of them like anime characters on TV, so they have a soft spot for plush toys. So when parents choose plush toys, what kind of material plush toys should be more suitable for their children? Let me introduce it to you below!
1.PP cotton
It is a kind of artificial chemical cotton fiber, often called "hollow cotton" or "baby cotton". It has the advantages of excellent extrusion resistance, easy to clean, air-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 filler for stuffed toys, pillow cores and other items. Another very important thing is that PP cotton is easy to clean. Just wash it with dish soap and dry it. However, due to the poor air permeability of chemical fiber materials, PP cotton will easily deform or agglomerate after being used for a long time. Therefore, it is recommended that when parents choose plush toys for their children, they should try to choose those plush toys with good elasticity and a certain brand awareness. Even if the price is slightly higher, the child's health is the most important thing.
2. Down cotton
Down cotton is what we call silk cotton in our daily lives. This material is not real cotton, but is made of microfiber through several special processes. Its appearance is very similar to down, so we call it "down cotton". It has many advantages such as light texture, good warmth retention, and not easy to deform. Manufacturers often use it as filling material for plush toys, down jackets, etc.
Of course, down cotton also has a very important advantage, that is, its production cost is relatively low, its cost performance is very high, and it is deeply loved by manufacturers and consumers. However, the disadvantage of down cotton is also obvious, that is, it is not washable. In life, we often see down jackets shrink and lose elasticity after washing. This is the "fly in the ointment" of down cotton. The same goes for stuffed animals.
3.Washed cotton
Washed cotton is made of cotton cloth. After special treatment, the surface tone and luster of the fabric are softer, the hand feel is softer, and the slight wrinkles reflect the feeling of old materials. This kind of clothing has the advantages of not being easily deformed, not fading, and does not require ironing. The surface of better washed cotton cloth also has a uniform layer of plush, which has a unique style.
4. Short velveteen
Velveteen is a very high-quality plush toy material. This is a plush fabric that has been completed through many processes such as raising and cutting. Its main raw materials are high-quality cotton yarn. Its surface has very dense and shiny short hairs, hence its name.
5.Crystal velvet
Crystal velvet is a typical chemical fiber fabric. Its raw material is polyester and is made through brushing, embossing and other processes. Its surface feels like a layer of short fluff and feels very soft. Crystal velvet has dense fluff, absorbs water and dries easily, making it very suitable for making plush toys. At the same time, its surface gloss is high, so most of the handicrafts made from it are mainly warm colors.
6.Flocking cloth
Flocking cloth is a fabric made through flocking technology. The principle is to use static electricity to stand vertically on the vegetation, so it has a very strong three-dimensional feel and feel. Compared with the two fabrics introduced above, the price and cost of flocking cloth are lower, so it is also a very common plush toy fabric raw material on the market.
The above are the six better materials. When choosing plush toys for your children, you can check to see if they are made of the above materials. Return to Sohu to see more
