Pros and cons of wooden buttons
March 18, 2020
In recent years, with the pursuit of greening environmental quality, the demand for plant buttons has also gradually increased. The product structure of plant buttons is mainly wood buttons. Wooden buttons have the advantages of being irreplaceable, but also have certain defects, which are summarized as follows:
Many people believe that "natural" materials must be non-toxic and good for human health. Wooden buttons can meet people's psychological needs. Wooden buttons have a natural wood texture, are very simple and natural, and have a rough appearance, which contrasts with the high gloss of plastic buttons. Therefore, these buttons are compatible with linen or casual clothes, and at the same time, they can meet the needs of some people with their unconventional and unconventional aesthetic habits. The main component of wooden buttons is lignin, which is highly resistant to organic solvents. It is a durable dry cleaning agent that can be dry cleaned with clothing.
The biggest drawback of wooden buttons is the water absorption of wood. Because wood fiber has a strong ability to absorb water, once it is soaked in water or put into water, it will quickly absorb water and swell. And when dry, it may crack, deform or roughen, which makes it easy to hook into the fibers of your clothes.
However, the disadvantages of wooden buttons can be overcome in modern technology. First of all, when choosing materials, try to choose a place with dense wood, long growing season and old trees. Secondly, after the buttons are polished, the surface is treated with high-quality varnish, and all water suction holes are sealed. Buttons treated in this way can prevent water absorption problems. So, feel free to use wooden buttons!
