DOWN IS STILL THE WORLD ’ S BEST INSULATION 羽绒仍然是世界上最佳的保温材料

1. DOWN IS STILL THE WORLD’S BEST INSULATION羽绒仍然是世界上最佳的保温材料 Gram for gram, down provides the best insulation for bedding, apparel, and sleeping bags. 以重量来衡量，羽绒是床上用品、服装和睡袋的最佳保温材料.

2. Down is Still the Best Filling • Down products are the insulation of choice for everyone • European bedding to wilderness expeditions. • Down is also the insulation of choice for billions of migrating birds who spend time in both freezing wet arctic conditions and warm tropical conditions. 羽绒仍然是最松软的 • 羽绒制品是每个人的首选保温用品 • 从欧洲的床上用品到野外探险可以看到 • 羽绒也是成千上万的侯鸟的最佳保温材料——它们既生活在冰冷潮湿的北极，也生活在温暖的热带地区

3. Why Down?为什么要选择羽绒? • Down is a natural, sustainable, renewable product. • Down is washable in cold or hot water. After multiple washings, down retains and revives its lofting capability. • Down and feathers are safe and clean. All countries in the world have minimum cleanliness/hygienic requirements. • 羽绒是一种自然的、价格适宜的、可更新的原料. • 羽绒可以用冷水或热水清洗，多次洗涤后羽绒仍可恢复原来的蓬松状态 • 羽绒和羽毛既干净又安全。世界上所有国家都对其有最低的清洁和卫生要求。

4. Performance of Down 羽绒的性能 • Moisture Management • Resiliency • High Insulation to Weight Value • Reduced Flammability Risk • Reduced Allergen Risk • Multiple Product Construction Types • Many Factors affect Down Performance • 湿度控制 • 弹性 • 高保暖/重量比值 • 减小可燃性风险 • 减少过敏风险 • 多种产品结构类型 • 许多因素对羽绒性能 有影响

5. Moisture Management 湿度控制 湿度控制: 填充材料从床上用品或衣服内部吸收湿气并将其散发到外面的能力。 Moisture management: The ability of fill material to absorb moisture from the interior of bedding or clothing and transmit it to the exterior.

6. How Well does Down Manage Moisture? 羽绒对湿度的保持有多好？ • Japanese Research has shown down to be superb in moisture management. • The fabric shell is a barrier to the full capability of down in managing moisture. • 日本研究人员发现羽绒具有极好的保湿度 • 纺织面料将妨碍羽绒发挥其全部的保湿性能

7. ResilienceDown is resilient over time and after repeated use and cleaning. 恢复能力 羽绒可以在多次使用和清洗过之后恢复其弹力 • IDFL tested an eiderdown sleeping bag manufactured in 1929. The down was still in excellent shape. Down quilts that have been passed down through families continue to be passed down, and still maintain their quality. • Down retains fill power and insulation quality after multiple launderings. • Military Jet Fighter emergency sleeping bags are vacuum packed in size of a small book and retain insulation after years of storage. • IDFL tested 18 Fill Power samples after 5 years of storage. The average fill power loss was less than 50 points. • IDFL曾经对1929年制作的羽绒被的样品进行过检测。其羽绒被仍保持极好的形状。羽绒被可以在家里一代一代传下去仍然保持其质量； • 经过多次洗涤后，羽绒仍能保持其蓬松度和保温性能； • 军队战斗机飞行员的紧急睡袋由真空包装成一本书的大小，在储存多年后仍能保持其保温性能； • IDFL检测过存放5年后的18个样品，它们的平均蓬松率损失不到50个点。

8. Insulation 保温性能 • Gram per gram, down is most efficient insulation product in the world • The evolution of down for 300 million years has created a unique natural structure with millions of barbs that interconnect to trap air. • Moisture, air circulation and warmth increase the insulation ability. • During the consumer use of a down product the insulation ability increases. • Laundering down maintains and revives the insulation ability. • 从重量上来说，羽绒是世界上最有效的保温材料； • 羽绒经过3亿年的进化，已经建立了一套独特的自然结构，它们成千上万的相互连接的到钩结构保持空气在其内部； • 湿度、空气循环和温暖增加了其保温性能； • 消费者在使用羽绒产品时，增加了其保温性能； • 洗涤羽绒会保持和恢复其保温性能。

9. Reduced Flammability 降低可燃性 • 羽绒相比其它填充材料来说，其危险性要小； • 羽绒产品可以通过可燃性的检测； • 其它材料（尤其是人工合成材料）需要进行防火处理才能通过同样的检测； • 在美国加州，羽绒被的防火性能可以免检。 • Down is low risk compared with other fill materials • Down products pass flammability tests. • Other materials (especially synthetics) require FR or other treatments to pass the same tests. • The State of California has tentatively exempted down comforters from its proposed flammability standards.

10. Reduced Allergens 减少过敏 • 与通常的看法恰恰相反，在许多情况下，羽绒和羽毛比其它产品所产生的过敏要少得多； • 羽绒制品的面料是防钻绒的，它可以阻止微尘进入羽绒枕头； • 一项新西兰的研究表明，羽绒枕头相比其它人造合成材料的产品来说，更不容易聚集灰尘。 • Contrary to common belief, down and feathers are in many cases less likely to cause allergens. • Down fabrics are downproof which stops dust mites from entering a down pillow. • One New Zealand study showed that down pillows are less likely to harbor dust mights compared to synthetics.

11. Product Construction impact down performance产品的结构影响羽绒的性能 • Fabric Types • Fabric Weight • Panel Design • Stitching and Other Construction Details • Filling Density • 纺织物的结构类型 • 纺织物的重量 • 面料设计 • 缝纫和其它做工细节 • 填充密度

12. Factors that affect down performance影响羽绒性能的因素 • Content % • Down Cluster size • Specie • Processing methods • 容量% • 羽绒绒朵的大小 • 羽绒品种 • 处理方法

13. Effect of Down % Content 羽绒含量的影响 样品个数 绒朵% 干翻滚蓬松率

14. Effect of Cluster Weight(Density or Mass)绒朵重量的影响（密度或质量） 平均绒朵大小（克） 蓬松率

15. Effects of Specie品种的影响 蓬松率 鹅 鸭

16. Continuing research is ongoing to evaluate Down vs. Synthetic Fills Down vs. Other Natural Fills There is no “Synthetic Down” No true synthetic down has ever been developed. In fact the term “synthetic down” is illegal in Europe. The proper term for such synthetics is “downalternative”. Down vs. Non-Down羽绒与非羽绒 不存在“人造羽绒” 真正的人造羽绒还没有制造出来。实际上，“人造羽绒”这个词在欧洲是非法的。对这些人造合成制品的正确用词是“羽绒替代物”。 继续研究正在进行来评价： • 羽绒与人造合成填充材料 • 羽绒与其它自然填充材料

18. Why have a QA Program?为什么有质量保证计划？ • Down is still the world’s best insulation • Demand and price for down keep rising. • Supply shortages & high price are an invitation for quality problems. • 羽绒仍然是世界上最好的保温材料 • 对于羽绒的需求及其价格还在保持上涨 • 供应不足和高昂的价格在诱惑着质量问题

19. In 2006 many quality problems are causing product failures: -High % fiber - Low Down Cluster % - High % landfowl - Duck in Goose Products - Crushed feathers - Non-downproof Fabric • 在2006年，使产品失败的诸多质量问题: -高 % 纤维 - 低羽绒绒朵 % - 高 % 陆禽毛 - 鸭绒在鹅绒中 - 破碎羽毛 - 无防钻绒面料

20. 由于在2006年出现的质量问题，欧洲和美国的购买者将对所到成品的填充物进行检测。由于在2006年出现的质量问题，欧洲和美国的购买者将对所到成品的填充物进行检测。 • 同时，政府的代理人和各种协会象ADFC将检查和检测在商店货架上的产品。 • IDFL 欧洲部门和IDFL 美国部门将承担许多这样的检测。 • Because of quality problems in 2006 European & American buyers will be testing arriving containers of finished products. • Also, government agencies + associations like ADFC will inspect and test products on store shelves. • IDFL Europe & IDFL USA will do much of this testing.

21. Elements of successful QA programs for down & feathers 羽绒羽毛质量保证计划的成功要素 • 检测散装羽绒和面料的成分 • 检测试制的成品 • 抽样及检测生产线上的产品 • 随机抽样和检测由购买者/零售商 收到的成品 • 5. IDFL/CIQ 中国将与供应商一起合作来对产品在其进入欧洲和美国之前进行检测 • 1. Test Bulk Down and Fabric Components • 2. Test Pre-Production Finished Products • 3. Sample & Test In-line Production • 4. Random Sample and Test Finished Products received by Buyers/Retailers. • 5. IDFL/CIQ China will work together with suppliers to test product before it arrives in Europe or USA
