Many businesses have also promoted snow boots as the main product, and they have also played the “fur one†propaganda sign. Reporters visited the market and found that there are many kinds of snow boots in the market and their quality is uneven. According to industry sources, there are some snow boots known as "fur one", but it is actually artificial plush. So how can we tell if the snow boots are fur? The reporter conducted the exposing experiment with bleach and blisters.
The items used for the experiment
[Experiment 1]
With a fire, animal hair has a unique smell
Get two pairs of snow boots, a pair of artificial snow boots, a pair of fur snow boots. Cut the same amount of hair from the shoe and ignite it. After ignition, the animal fur has a pronounced burnt smell of the hair. After burning, the residue is loose and brittle, black coke, and can be smashed by hand. However, after the artificial hair is burned, it is a pungent smell of burning plastic. The residue is massive. Provincial Fiber Inspection Bureau experts said that animal hair belongs to animal protein, and the special odor after combustion is not available in chemical fiber and cotton, and it is very easy to distinguish.

84 Disinfection water
Afterwards, the same amount of hair was cut again from the inside of the shoe and put into 84 disinfectant solution for soaking. About 5 minutes later, in the cup containing animal hair, the animal hair had completely dissolved and no residue was visible in the cup. In soaked cups, the soaked material remains intact.
Left: Animal villi dissolved in 84 Disinfectant Right: Chemical fiber artificial hair is not dissolved
Experts said that the main component of the 84 disinfectant is sodium hypochlorite, which can generate hypochlorous acid when it meets water. This component has strong oxidative properties. The animal hair is an animal protein. After encountering hypochlorous acid, the polymer chain is oxidized. It then breaks into small molecules that are soluble in water, so that dissolution occurs.
