Swan down manufacturing technology

In structure, the material resembles natural swan's fluff - that's why it was called the same, only the artificial prefix was added, so that the difference in properties and price was clear. In the production process, hazardous and harmful substances are not used, as well as adhesives, as in the production of padding polyester, therefore, swan down is considered and is an environmentally friendly filler.
