This gives them all the needed expertise to perform tests according to different standards and norms.
Down and Feather Quality Specifics
Quality that makes a difference
Every single lot of down and feathers that is processed in our factory passes an evaluation on the following parameters:
Cleanliness
Tests are performed to evaluate the turbidity, fat content, and oxygen number. These numbers indicate how clean a down filling is.
Fill Power
The fill power (or down power) indicates the volume that a certain weight of down and feathers take. A higher number indicates a more voluminous fill for a relative weight.
Down Content
The down content indicates the percentage of the total materials that is composed of down clusters, according to the norm it is calculated for. Around the world many different standards are used to calculate this specific number.
Traceability
Our down and feathers are available with traceability certificates, indicating the specific origin of the materials.
Our Quality Capabilities
For all our down products we are able to reach the highest quality levels regarding turbidity, down cluster content, and fill power.
Over 1000 mm Turbidity
Turbidity indicates the cleanliness of down and feathers. It demonstrates the presence of dust or dirt (organic and inorganic). U.S. and European standards require a result of at least 300 mm. Very clean samples register at 550 mm or higher – IDFB. At Down Creators we are specialized in down with over 1000 turbidity.
Up To 96% Down Cluster Content
We are able to extract up to 96% down cluster content, which is one of the most exceptional down qualities in the world. This guarantees an unparalleled loft and insulation, suitable for premium luxurious products.
Over 900 Fill Power
Fill power is a measure of loft, or the insulation ability of down products in cubic inches per ounce. The higher the number, the more fill power there is. – IDFB
