Silver-coated blackout cloth is one type of coated blackout cloth, and the other is flocked blackout cloth. They are all made by dyeing and coating ordinary curtain fabrics to achieve the shading effect. In addition, there are many types of silver-coated blackout cloth products. When we analyze the hazards of blackout curtains, we must also consider the specific products.

Generally speaking, in order to achieve the light-blocking effect, the blackout curtains that we often see have two or more layers of fabric. The blackout curtains themselves will emit a pungent odor after being exposed to direct sunlight for a long time. If the shading effect is better.

In addition, it is necessary to clean and replace curtains regularly. Blackout curtain fabrics generally contain non-ironing agents and flame retardants, which will release formaldehyde, posing a threat to human health and may cause asthma, leukemia and many other diseases. Many manufacturers will add auxiliary ingredients such as resins to curtain fabrics. In the later stages such as printing and dyeing, a variety of dyes, auxiliaries, and finishing agents need to be added, many of which contain a certain amount of formaldehyde. Therefore, the more complex the patterns and decorations of the curtains, the more formaldehyde they contain. In addition, the curtains are close to the windows and will be contaminated with a lot of dust and particles, which will breed a large number of bacteria in the poorly ventilated and humid environment indoors, destroying the living environment and posing a hidden danger to human safety.

Whether blackout curtains are harmful to the human body is sometimes directly related to the material and production process of the blackout curtains. Similarly, consumers should also remember to handle new curtains and pay attention to regular cleaning of blackout curtains that have been used for a long time.
