Compared with other water tools, sports water bottles have become the basic configuration for outdoor enthusiasts because they are durable, safe, reliable, convenient, and can be selected in different colors and styles according to personal preferences. With the rise, development and continuous vigorous growth in China, the sales volume of sports water bottles at home and abroad is expanding year by year. And with the in-depth development of manufacturing power, China has now become the world's largest producer and exporter of sports water bottles.

How to buy a reassuring, affordable sports bottle that can be drunk safely has become an important issue that cannot be ignored.

After careful comparison and research, in summary, the main points of buying a sports bottle can be summarized in twelve words: durable, safe and reliable, and convenient for insurance.

The key to "sturdy and durable" is the pot body material and wall thickness

The material of the sports bottle is pure aluminum. As a large country of aluminum products, China has a complete product range. In terms of material selection, each manufacturer has different. Many domestic water bottle brands use pure aluminum with a purity of 99.5%, but the actual situation is not the case. Even most manufacturers use recycled aluminum.

Another factor is the wall thickness of the water bottle, the wall thickness of a general sports water bottle is 0.7mm. Since it is difficult for general consumers to distinguish the wall thickness of sports bottles, some manufacturers will speculatively reduce the wall thickness of the kettle to save materials in order to reduce costs. Some manufacturers even reduce the wall thickness to 0.5mm. An intuitive feeling for judging the thickness of the kettle wall is that if you compare it in your hand, the weight of the kettle with the thinner wall thickness will be lighter.

If the purity of the aluminum material used for the sports bottle is not high, or the wall thickness is cut corners, in use, it is easy to dent, break or even burst due to collision or falling. Generally, the higher the purity of aluminum used for sports bottles and the standard wall thickness, the better the strength and toughness of sports bottles, and the stronger the ability to resist collisions and impacts. Of course, the better the quality, the higher the cost and price.

The key to "safety and reliability" is the inner coating of the sports bottle

As we all know, excessive intake of aluminum will cause greater harm to human health. The inner coating of the sports bottle solves the isolation problem: separate the water, juice, milk, coffee and other drinks in the sports bottle from the aluminum kettle body. Come.

The composition of the inner coating of the sports bottle is more than 20% resin, about 1% additives, and the rest are solvents. The quality of the sports bottle is the most important determinant of whether it is safe and reliable. The first is whether the inner coating material itself is safe and will not harm human health. In addition, the spraying quality of the inner coating inside the kettle is uniform and sticky. The attachment is firm and reaches the necessary thickness to ensure the reliability of the isolation between the beverage and the aluminum pot body.

Under the pressure of fierce export competition, in order to reduce costs and increase competitiveness, most domestic manufacturers currently choose low-priced coating materials, and are limited to scale and strength, and its equipment and technology are difficult to guarantee the inner coating of sports bottles. The quality of spraying.

The inner coating of the sports bottle must meet food-grade hygiene requirements, but due to the lack of supervision and testing, the current domestic sports bottle products, except for a few larger manufacturers, almost all of the inner coatings flooding the market with cheap products There are problems of varying degrees.

The key to "convenience" is whether the structure of the lid is integrated.

Generally, the lid of a sports bottle is composed of a lid and a gasket. In the process of use, because the quality of the general sports bottle is not too hard, the gasket will stick to the spout part due to the tightness of the screw and be squeezed for a long time, cold or hot temperature factors, and even detach from the lid, which will cause trouble in use. , Sometimes it will be lost and affect the reuse of the kettle.

A good sports bottle uses two-shot injection technology to directly integrate the gasket and the lid, which not only achieves a good sealing effect, but also fundamentally eliminates the possibility of detachment.

The key to "insurance" is the tightness of the spout

The tightness of the spout depends on the degree of fit between the lid and the threads of the spout. If the degree of agreement is not high enough, water leakage may occur during normal use, which will cause a lot of inconvenience to use. Many people must have had some unpleasant experiences in this regard.

In addition, almost all the spouts of sports water bottles have sharp edges. Although the fingers and lips are not often scratched, they still happen occasionally. A good sports bottle will have a more user-friendly processing and treatment, which is to make the edge of the thread into an arc, so as to completely eliminate the possibility of scratching your fingers and lips even with a very small probability.

In addition to the choice of patterns, the quality of the inner coating is invisible, so it needs to be carefully identified:

1. Look at the certification: You need to pay attention to whether the sports bottle has passed the relevant certification. First, see whether the manufacturer has passed the ISO9001: 2000 quality system certification. The manufacturers who have passed the strict certification can prevent many problems from the production and quality management system; secondly , Product exports need to pass the testing and certification of the U.S. Drug Administration (i.e. FDA); exports need to pass the testing and certification of the Technical Supervision Association (i.e. TUV); in addition, it also depends on the relevant domestic testing and certification: current domestic testing Compared with the certification standards in many aspects, it is more stringent than foreign countries, and it is also a very important reference: the most basic thing is whether it has passed the test of the National Quality and Technical Supervision Bureau, and the national sports goods quality and technical supervision test Special testing by the center, in addition to testing by the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

2.Look at the details: a good sports bottle, if you observe carefully, there will be some obvious performance in the details: the surface and inside of a good sports bottle will be very flat, without exposed bottom, blistering, depression or protrusions caused by impurities; The silk-printed pattern of the pot body has uniform color printing, clear edges, accurate color registration, firm adhesion, and no stains; in addition, on the lid, because of the different materials, the color, gloss and texture will be different, and the quality can be felt higher , Some brands also have logos on the lid and the bottom of the kettle.

3. Look at the price: If you think the above identification is troublesome and difficult, then the easiest way is to look at the price: a sports bottle with reliable quality and excellent quality will inevitably cost high, and the price will not be too cheap. Generally speaking, regardless of the capacity, a sports bottle with a normal retail unit price of less than 100 yuan is basically difficult to ensure reliable quality.

4. Look at the label: A formal and responsible sports bottle brand will clearly and accurately mark product information, use precautions and company information. In addition to making it easier for buyers to use it safely, it is also convenient for consumers to contact and consult if there are problems. Provide after-sales related services.

With reference to some of the above experiences, in the process of buying a sports bottle, you will find that the purchase of a durable, safe, reliable, convenient and safe, high-quality sports bottle can be completely eliminated through careful observation and identification. So difficult.

All in all, a reliable and trustworthy sports bottle must be the perfect combination of exquisite appearance and excellent quality!
