MEIDA’S

 

FANTASTIC THERMO-INSULATION

 

We are pleased to introduce you to MEIDA’s innovative thermo-insulation material for garments.

 

WHAT DOES MEIDA OFFER YOU?

1.                  MEIDA is an outstanding thermal insulation material made of superfine fibres with extremely high thermal insulation properties.  The product was developed over a long period of time and is today patented.

2.                  MEIDA is light, thin and smooth and has superior thermal insulation properties.  The weight of a shirt made of MEIDA is only 350g, which is the same as the thermal insulation efficiency of two cashmere sweaters.

3.                  The MEIDA quilting is light, soft, moisture proof and lofty.  MEIDA is available in three different qualities, i.e. thin, medium and thick.  The weight of the MEIDA quilting is half the weight of cotton and down quilting making it very suitable for use at home.

4.                  MEIDA is used as lining in shirts, jackets, coats, ski outfits, beddings, sleeping bags, shoes, etc.

5.                  MEIDA is non-allergenic.  It is comfortable to wear and is stylish.

6.                  MEIDA’s different products are all machine washable – and the thermal insulation properties will be retained even after washing.

Care instructions: Washing temperature: 30-40oC.

Ironing temperature: 120-130oC (If the ironing temperature is higher than 130oC, the fine fibres of polypropylene might be damaged).

7.                  MEIDA should be stored in the same way as other piece goods and clothing.

 

MEIDA was created as a new product as the result of numerous thermo-mechanic tests within the area of thermo-insulation.  Today, after various market tests, the final design of MEIDA is a reality.  MEIDA is produced in a special process with high-tech polymers.  During this process superfine fibres of polypropylene in the range of 0.3 to 7.0 µm are produced.  Some of these fibres are micro-bonded, whereas others are entangled at random.  Such a fibre structure provides a very soft product with an excellent draping capability.  The micro-fibres of this product guarantee a very light and thin insulation material.  The high total surface area of the superfine fibres provides exceptional thermal insulation.  Analyses have shown that the thermal insulation performance of MEIDA can be compared with the insulation of eiderdown.

The tests were carried out in accordance with the GB1048-89 standard.

 

Garments made of MEIDA are very light and not much different from garments where no insulation material is used.  Because MEIDA provides a high breathability, the wearer of MEIDA does not get the sweaty feeling as usual when wearing other kinds of insulation materials.  MEIDA is used for producing shirts, jackets, coats, skiwear, skirts, trousers, gloves, bedcovers, shoes, boots, etc.  The MEIDA quilt is light and comfortable, which makes this product perfect to be used for sports accessories such as sleeping bags, etc.

 

MEIDA uses the latest technology within the field of machinery, polymers, test equipment and management.

Please observe when sewing:

1.                  The ironing temperature should be approx. from 120oC to maximum 130oC. 

At temperatures higher than 130oC, the fine fibres will be damaged.

2.                  It is recommended to sew MEIDA with the sewing thread, Rasant.  Experience has shown that this sewing thread has a cooling effect on the needle.  Normally MEIDA is stitched to the garment.  However, when MEIDA is hanging down loosely, it is recommended to stitch it to the lining or to use over-locking, so that the layers do not split up.
