Sharing Knowledge on the Use and Cleaning of Insulated Water Bottles in 2 Parts

Insulated water bottles are very practical in cold seasons, and most of them adopt a vacuum layer design. Vacuum insulated cups can slow down the heat dissipation of water inside, making the insulation time longer. In addition to the design of the insulated cup, the insulation time of the insulated water cup is also related to its material. So what material is better for thermos bottles?

The materials of thermos bottles include 304 stainless steel, 316 stainless steel, ceramics, etc. The street can be selected according to actual usage needs. Which is better, a 304 inner container or a 315 inner container for a thermos cup? How to clean the thermos cup for the first time? How to remove the odor from the thermos bottle? These are all issues that consumers are concerned about.

I. The difference between insulated water bottles and thermos bottle

1.Different materials

The material of the thermos directly affects the insulation effect and service life. There are various material choices for ordinary insulated cups, including ceramic, stainless steel, plastic, and glass. A vacuum insulated bottle is not only a cup made of stainless steel with a vacuum layer added. The vacuum insulation layer can slow down the heat dissipation of the liquid inside, achieving the purpose of insulation.

2. Different prices

The ordinary thermos cups sold in the general market only serve the purpose of insulation. After pouring hot water, the insulation time is usually between two to three hours. The price of this ordinary thermos cup is far different from that of vacuum thermos cups. When purchasing, you should carefully identify the manufacturer of the thermos cup. The safety and insulation performance of this relatively cheap thermos cannot be guaranteed.

3. Different insulation performance

Vacuum insulated water bottles can not only keep hot, but also keep cold. The insulation effect of a high vacuum rate thermos can reach more than 10 hours. However, the insulation effect of ordinary thermos bottles is relatively low, and their heat dissipation is much stronger than that of vacuum thermos bottles. The insulation performance is usually only two to three hours.

4.Different working principles

A vacuum insulated bottle is usually made of stainless steel and a vacuum layer to create a container. It is made of two layers of stainless steel, one inside and one outside. The inner and outer shells are welded together using welding technology, and the air in the interlayer between the inner and outer shells is extracted using vacuum technology to achieve the effect of vacuum insulation.

5. The quality of plastic accessories and raw materials

The characteristics of food grade new plastics are low odor, smooth surface, no burrs, long service life, and not easily aged. The disadvantages of ordinary plastic or recycled plastic are strong odor, dark color, many burrs, and easy brittleness. The depth of the inner liner is basically the same as the height of the outer shell, with a difference of less than 16-18mm, and the capacity is consistent with the nominal value. Some things, such as adding sand and cement blocks to the insulated cup to make up for the missing weight. However, the heavier the thermos, the better.

There are more specifications for stainless steel materials, among which 18/8 stainless steel material represents the composition of this stainless steel containing 18% chromium and 8% nickel. Materials that meet this standard comply with national food grade standards and are green and environmentally friendly products. The product is rust proof and corrosion-resistant. The color of ordinary stainless steel cups appears white or dark. If soaked in 1% saline solution for 24 hours, rust spots will appear, which contain excessive elements and directly endanger human health.

II. Cleaning and maintenance of insulated water bottles

The cleaning and maintenance of thermos cups is crucial to ensure the long-term effectiveness of the thermos bottles. The first cleaning upon receipt is essential. We recommend thoroughly cleaning the water bottle with warm water and neutral detergent, especially the bottle cap and sealing ring. After cleaning, thoroughly air dry to prevent the generation of odors. If you find that there is an odor during use, you can put lemon slices into a water bottle, soak them in hot water for a few hours, and then wash them clean, which can effectively remove the odor.

Conclusion

To choose a good thermos that suits oneself, one must consider the above aspects comprehensively, as well as the convenience of cleaning and the comfort of use. Whether it’s carrying or causing harm during daily travel, I hope Doyoung‘s insulated water bottles is your trusted assistant.
