What are the characteristics of cotton fabric

Pure cotton fabrics have good hygroscopicity. Under normal circumstances, the fibers can absorb moisture in the surrounding atmosphere. The moisture content is 8-10%, so it contacts the human skin and makes people feel soft and not stiff. If the humidity of the cotton cloth is increased and the ambient temperature is high, the water content in the fibers will evaporate completely, leaving the fabrics in a state of water balance and comfort.

2, moisturizing

Because pure cotton fabric is a poor conductor of heat and electricity, the coefficient of thermal conductivity is extremely low, and because the pure cotton fabric itself has the advantages of high porosity and elasticity, a large amount of air can accumulate between fibers, and air is also a poor conductor of heat and electricity. Pure cotton fabric textiles have good moisturizing properties and people feel warm when wearing cotton fabrics.

3, heat resistance

Pure cotton fabric has good heat resistance, and when it is below 110°C, it will only cause water to evaporate on fabrics and will not damage fibers. Therefore, pure cotton fabrics are worn at room temperature, and washing and printing have no effect on fabrics. Improve the washability and wear resistance of cotton fabrics.

4, alkali resistance

Cotton fabrics have greater resistance to alkalis. The pure cotton fabrics in alkali solution do not cause damage to the fibers. This property is beneficial to the washing of the contamination after use, disinfection and impurities, and can also dye cotton textiles. Printing and various processes to produce more new varieties of cotton.

5. Hygiene

Pure cotton fabrics are natural fibers, the main component of which is cellulose, as well as small amounts of waxy substances and nitrogenous substances and pectin. The cotton fabric has been inspected and practiced in many aspects. The fabric is in contact with the skin without any irritation or negative effects. The long-term wear is beneficial to the human body and harmless, and the sanitary performance is good.
