Two Types of Polyester Blankets

Polyester blankets have their own advantages when compared to wool and other natural fibers; advantages include high color retention and durability as well as wrinkle resistance. Some polyester blankets are in fact made with a mixture of polyester and natural fibers, but polyester on its own can still be very soft and comfortable. Now, I will introduce two types of polyester blankets----polyester comforter and polyester sleeved blanket to you. 

Comforters are thick bed coverings that are similar to duvets; however, comforters are generally longer than duvets but not as long as flat sheets. They hang down at the sides, but they do not often conver the box spring or bed frame. Therefore, matching bed cover sets are often sold with the comforters to cover the bed frame and start where the comforter left off. Polyester comforters are very populare because they are also machining washable and easily cared for.

Sleeved blankets are sometimes called snuggles, snuggles, and a host of other names, depending on the manufacture and point of origin, but they are all blankets that have long sleeves to allow the user to easily cover themselves from neck to feet while keeping their arms free to use. Sleeved blankets are often compared to a backwards coat or bathrobe, which is a very good description of their outward appearance because the opening is at the back, but they are a lot more efficient and versatile than a coat due to their strategic design and use of materials.

Washing and Drying Blankets

The dyestuff completly combines with the blanket fiber after adjustment, shape-stabilization, dyeing and high temperature fixation to the blanket greige, but plenty of chemical additives, thickening agent and a little unreacted dyestuff still appear on the surface of the fiber, all this must be removed by water washing. The water washing device is currently consisted of twelve to fourteen water tanks, and on top of it, there exists a rubber cylinder, more importantly, we can adjust the size of crevice between rubber cylinders. Since the rubber cylinder have relative pressure towards the blanket, when the color fixed blanket delivered by mechanical transportation, it will pass by the water tank first, and then the thickening agent will dissolve in it, the sewage containing in the blanket will be squeezed out again after the extrusion of the rubber cylinder. After cleaning and extrusion like this for twelve to fourteen times, the blanket will be completely clean and tidy. 

What is more important in this process is that we need to soften, dishevel and flatten the washed blanket in the last water tank, which is a critical step in all procedures. The basic raw material of blanket is polyester fiber, and polyester fiber on its own is extremely rough, even to the extent that it pricks the hand. Research specialist staffs in Nanjing Lovely Bear Blankets co.,Ltd, devoted themselves to the innovation of various types of flattening and fluffing agent on the basis of special structure of polyester fiber, such as the combination of flattening and fluffing agents and anti static agent MS-30 from Nanjing Yuyang Technology co., Ltd, dispersed uniformly in the last water tank after chemical reaction with the sewage disposal agent, when the washed blanket pass through its aqueous solution(major structure of it is high polymer amino silicone polyester), it can efficiently appear uniformly on the surface of polyester fiber. And the temperature is over eighty degrees Celsius during the process of drying, so this kind of chemical agent will combine with the polyester fiber, forming the perfect protective tissue on the surface of the fiber, which makes the blanket smooth and soft, especially having obvious effects to "cloudy mink blanket", "gold mink blanket" and super fine fiber, and the processed blanket is better than the fur of mink. 

The key points of this section: Firstly, the water washing device of the blanket must be designed reasonably, because there is plenty of sewage in the vapor, which makes it important to purify and reuse the sewage. Secondly, qualities and effects of chemical additives and flattening and softening agents play an important role in the hand feeling and quality of the blanket. Thirdly, this craftwork is applicable to the overwhelming majority of fur, plush, blanket and carpet in the market.
