Today, in the series of interviews on "the director general of the society talks about promoting people's livelihood through science and technology" sponsored by Chongqing Association for science and technology, Wang Wanhua, head of Chongqing sericulture management station and vice director of Chongqing sericulture society, said that "burning method" is a more accurate and appropriate method for identifying genuine and fake silk. Why are silk products concerned? Wang Wanhua said that with the improvement of the people's quality of life, silk products have gradually entered the consumption level of ordinary people.

Today, in the series of interviews on "the director general of the society talks about promoting people's livelihood through science and technology" sponsored by Chongqing Association for science and technology, Wang Wanhua, head of Chongqing sericulture management station and vice director of Chongqing sericulture society, said that "burning method" is a more accurate and appropriate method for identifying genuine and fake silk.

Why are silk products concerned?

Wang Wanhua said that with the improvement of the people's quality of life, silk products have gradually entered the consumption level of ordinary people. At the same time, because of green environmental protection, health and comfort, silk products are also very consistent with the consumption concept of ordinary people.

It is reported that 38% of the structure of silk has a hollow structure, which has the effect of heat insulation. In summer, it has good moisture drainage and feels quite cool. If you normally wear it on your body, you will feel close, comfortable and relaxed. At the same time, it has the functions of anti enzyme, anti mite and anti-bacterial. When people choose clothes for infants and young children, they will choose more mulberry silk as their clothes.

In addition, mulberry silk is a pure protein fiber, which is different from other fibers. Its protein content is very high, and it contains many amino acids, which is beneficial to the maintenance of people's skin and the prevention and treatment of arthritis and skin diseases.

How to select and distinguish "real silk"?

Wang Wanhua said that silk clothing gives people a feeling that it is smooth, soft, natural in color, and not so bright and dazzling. When burning silk with open fire, it has a flame-retardant effect, and the burning speed is relatively slow, which is different from other fibers. In the process of combustion, a hissing sound will be made, and it is difficult to extinguish the flame during combustion. After burning, it will give off the smell of hair, that is, the smell of burnt feathers.

Other fibers, such as man-made fibers, burn fast and have a large flame. In particular, during the combustion of synthetic fibers, some chemical fibers will fall from the lower side, and burn and other injuries will be caused if they are stuck on the skin.

The imitation silk clothing composed of artificial fiber, synthetic fiber and part of silk has strong coloring ability, and its color is bright from the appearance, which is not very natural; In the process of burning with open fire, the simulated silk is easy to wrinkle and uneven.

Some citizens may ask: silk and wool are natural material fibers. How can we distinguish them? Wang Wanhua said that there is a great difference between the two in the sense of quality, and they can also be distinguished by burning. The burning process is very similar, but after the wool is burned, the burning ash is different from that of mulberry silk, and is relatively expanded.

There's something particular about cleaning silk clothes"Silk fabrics can't be washed by washing machine. They should be gently rubbed by hand. Don't wash them with washing powder, soap, etc. instead, they should be cleaned by someone who specializes in washing silk fabrics." Wang Wanhua said. As for silkworm silk, it is very sensitive to alkali. When washing silk clothes, you must not use soap, washing powder or strong alkaline things. Moreover, it is absolutely not allowed to use mechanical and strong kneading, which is easy to damage the structure of protein.

If you wash with alkali, you will find that the silk clothing becomes hard or discolored, and is damaged. In addition, you cannot wash with hot water. The best way is to wash with cool water and special detergent.

Experts also remind that when people are drying clothes, it is easy to take them under the sun for direct drying or exposure. This is also the worst treatment method for silk clothing. Because the ultraviolet radiation of the sun is strong, it is also easy to damage the structure of the protein, and it is not suitable to expose them under the sun.
