Is ice silk mat harmful to human body

Ice silk mat is a kind of mat used by many people in summer. The main material of this kind of mat is rayon, which is made of fiber, viscose filament and a variety of raw materials. Anyway, people always have disputes between ice silk mat and various mats. Some people think that ice silk mat is good, but some people think that other ones are better. As to whether ice silk mat is harmful to the body, this statement will give you a relevant introduction.

1. What is an ice silk mat?

Ice silk is actually a kind of artificial silk obtained by optimizing the raw materials of viscose fiber, viscose filament and polyurethane fiber. Therefore, ice silk is purer than cotton fiber and wood fiber. The cellulose content of ice silk is over 99.5%. Cotton fiber and wood fiber account for 95-97%, fat and wax of ice silk account for 0.2-0.3%, cotton fiber accounts for 0.5-0.6%, and ice silk does not contain chlorine. The chlorine content in cotton fiber accounts for 1-1.1%. Ice silk does not contain pectin and polysaccharide. Cotton fiber contains 1.2%. The ash content of ice silk is trace, and the ash content of cotton fiber is 1.14%. Among several mainstream fibers.

2. Is the ice silk mat good?

The moisture content of ice silk is suitable for the physiological requirements of human skin. It has the characteristics of smoothness, coolness, breathability, anti-static and bright colors. The ice silk mat product has the characteristics of coolness, smoothness, strong breathability and firm texture. In addition, this mat can be placed for easy storage, which greatly saves storage space. Modern processing techniques such as cutting, twisting, warping and weaving enhance the product's comfort, coolness, smoothness and wear resistance. The main covering is made of rattan (sub-grass or rattan), which has been waterproofed for easy maintenance and collection.

3. Cleaning of ice silk mat

(1) Ice silk mat is a fiber product, so it can be washed with water. If it is newly bought, wash it directly with clean water. If it has been stored for a season and just taken out for use, you can use a little laundry detergent to wash it.

(2) Ice silk mats can be washed by hand or in a washing machine, with the washing mode set to chemical fiber. However, hand washing is recommended.

4. Drying of ice silk mat

The cleaned ice silk mat can be dried in a ventilated and dry place. It is best not to expose it to the sun for a long time.

5. Maintenance of ice silk mat

The ice silk mat that has just been used will have many creases. At this time, you can use an iron to iron it. The iron mode should also be adjusted to the chemical fiber mode to avoid damaging the mat surface by excessive temperature. When not in use, store it in a dry cabinet. If it is prone to mold, take it out and air it.

6. How to choose an ice silk mat?

(1) Look at the appearance

Consumers must keep their eyes open when purchasing ice silk mats and not listen to the merchants' introductions casually. Since ice silk mats are made of processed plant fibers, authentic ice silk mats look similar to cloth, with just slightly thicker lines, but the thickness is absolutely consistent.

(2) Feel the texture

The authentic ice silk mat is woven from fibers, so it feels smooth, the same as pure cotton cloth. It is different from ordinary chemical fiber products and it feels cool to the touch. Of course, when you buy it in a store, in an air-conditioned environment, it will definitely be cool, so you can take it outdoors and touch it with your hand when it reaches room temperature.

(3) Look at the creases

Authentic ice silk mats will not have obvious creases. The products displayed outside by merchants for people to choose from are generally ironed at low temperature and spread out, so there are no visible creases. When you purchase but have not paid, you must ask the merchant to show you the unopened package of ice silk mats. There should be no obvious creases.

(4) Smell

Authentic ice silk mats have no peculiar smell, because the fibers are plant fibers that have been processed through a process. If there is a strong fragrant smell, it is probably added by the manufacturer or merchant to cover up the peculiar smell.
