Heaters, their types and differences.

What is Sintepon? The most popular heater used now in inexpensive products is sintepon (synthenite). The synthetic winterizer produced now can be divided into two groups: Sintepon with adhesive binder. Sintepon needle-punched. The glutinous padding polyester looks fluffy and loose. The bonds between the fibers are created using special adhesives. Such a synthetic winterizer is cheaper to manufacture, it is more popular and the technology does not guarantee the preservation of its properties after washing in warm water, i.e. a thing made of such padding polyester guarantees the functionality of the product from it before the first wash. But it is cheap, and not entirely clean producers, actively using it in products, increase their profits at the expense of the consumer. Heaters in modern tactical clothing. Needle-punched synthetic winterizer looks denser and looks less warm in appearance. The connections between the fibers are established on special technological equipment with needle combs, which intertwine the fibers of the outer layers. Such a synthetic winterizer is used in the production of warm clothes by well-known Western firms, it guarantees the preservation of its properties after washing, i.e. things made from such padding polyester are more practical. Besides, needle-punched synthetic winterizer of production is willingly purchased by garment factories of Hungary, France, Germany. In other words, the sleeping bag and clothes made of needle-foam padding polyester do not fall off with time, although they look less luxuriant. And no colder. Modern heaters Heaters. Since time immemorial, man has tried to protect himself from the cold with the help of clothing. Little has changed now. The difference is only in the materials used: cotton wool (quilted jackets) and duck down (puffs) have been replaced by various synthetic insulation. Their generic name "sintepon" has a negative emotional connotation for the consumer because of the low-quality synthetic winterizers of the first generation, which were a) cold b) short-lived. The synthetic winterizers used now are free of these shortcomings: they heat better than fluff, fall off much more slowly and practically do not absorb water. Thus, all Thinsulate insulation materials absorb less than 1% of water (based on their own weight). It is also important that all Thinsulate insulators retain their properties after any number of washes in machines of any type and in water of any temperature. The most famous brand of insulation is Thinsulate & tm from 3M. Currently, 3M produces the following types of insulation: Thinsulate Insulation. One and a half times warmer than down and 2 times warmer than any of the synthetic synthpones. Available in different thicknesses: 70, 100, 150 g / m2. For winter wear, usually 100 or 150 g / m2 is used. VOENTORG Thinsulate Lite Loft Insulation. A new generation of synthetic winterizer made of ultrafine fibers 15 microns thick Available in 3 modifications (depending on thickness) - THL1, THL2, THL3 VOENTORG Thinsulate Ultra Insulation. Thinner insulation. Available in thicknesses of 40, 70, 100, 150 g / m2. VOENTORG Thinsulate Supreme Insulation. The warmest Thinsulate insulation. Available in thicknesses 60, 100, 150, 200 gsm VOENTORG Thinsulate Flex Insulation. Elastic insulation (for use in stretch clothing). Available in thicknesses of 40, 70, 100 g / m2. VOENTORG 3M recommendations for the use of heaters: 40-70 g / sq.m. Cold weather conditions with high physical activity. Clothes for work, everyday wear, children's clothes, clothes for active winter sports. 100 g / sqm Cold weather conditions with average physical activity. Clothes for work, travel, sports "sometimes", winter sports. 150 g / m2 Very cold weather conditions with low physical activity. Clothes for hunting, fishing, motorcycle, winter sports. 200 g / sqm Extremely cold weather with low physical activity. Clothes for hunting, fishing, motorcycle, winter sports. Description of Thermolite insulation. insulation for active sports. Minimum thickness and maximum elasticity. soft insulation using two types of fibers. insulation with superfine fibers. differs in that spiral fibers are used, which give additional "crease resistance" to the insulation. the warmest insulation Thermolite. Contains three types of microfibers in the construction. Also on the market there are insulation materials from less well-known companies, for example Sorel (Sorel Extreme Termo Quilt, Sorel Termo Fleece, Sorel Storm Blanket). Climate controls. Climate control - special materials that absorb body heat, released in excess during physical activity, and give it away at rest (for example, in a lift chair). There are various brands of climate control in clothes of different price niches on the market.
