Step 1
Thinsulate - a practical invention of the twentieth century
Contemporaries, putting on light and comfortable warm clothes, no longer remember that thinsulate was initially practically inaccessible to the average consumer. Its invention belongs to the era of development of space exploration. At the end of the 70s of the last century, scientists were faced with a difficult task: the creation of reliable insulation technologies became urgent. And American developers from the diversified company "3M" have created a material that imitates fluff with fibers dozens of times thinner than a hair. This solution to the problem turned out to be optimal. A few years later, artificial fluff became indispensable in the outfit of polar explorers and Olympians. And for three decades, the improved thinsulate has become a popular insulation for everyday wear and everyday life.
Step 2
Advantages of innovative insulation and its disadvantages
The undoubted advantages of thinsulate is its weightlessness, because the artificial analogue turned out to be somewhat lighter than high-quality natural fluff. Unique thermoregulation combined with high hygroscopicity make this material suitable for widespread use.
These hygienic and hypoallergenic fibers have become especially popular in children's clothing and winter blankets. Environmental friendliness and the ability to retain heat without creating unnecessary volume ensures comfort even for the smallest
Thinsulate guarantees excellent air exchange when combined with membrane materials. In addition, the insulation does not crumple under mechanical stress and dries quickly.
The easy care of artificial down attracts many consumers: it is possible both to wash it yourself on a gentle mode at a temperature of 60 ° C, and to professional cleaning it in the laundry. Thinsulate retains its properties even after multiple washes.
Step 3
Over the course of several decades of using the innovative material, no significant imperfections have been identified. Some consumers point to a fairly high price category of thinsulate in comparison with other artificial insulation. Sometimes they note with displeasure the need to be careful when washing: experts advise not to expose the material to high temperatures. But such disadvantages turn out to be insignificant compared to those unique properties that are so important in everyday life.
