Is polyester fiber artificial cotton? What are the raw materials of artificial cotton? Polyester is the common name for polyester, not artificial cotton. Rayon is the common name for cotton-type artificial short fiber. It is made of cotton-type short fibers spun from natural cellulose. The main varieties are cotton-type viscose short fibers spun from natural polymer compounds such as cellulose or protein through chemical processing. Its specifications are similar to cotton fibers. The length is generally 35mm. The fineness is 1.5~2.2dtex. It can be spun purely on cotton spinning machines or blended with cotton or cotton-type synthetic fibers (such as polyester, nylon, etc.).
Polyester fiber, commonly known as “polyester”. It is a synthetic fiber obtained by spinning polyester formed by the polycondensation of organic dibasic acid and diol. It is referred to as PET fiber and is a polymer compound. Invented in 1941, it is currently the largest variety of synthetic fibers. The biggest advantage of polyester fiber is that it has good wrinkle resistance and shape retention, and has high strength and elastic recovery ability. It’s durable, wrinkle-resistant, iron-free, and non-sticky.
Polyester fiber has high strength, high modulus and low water absorption. It is widely used as a civilian fabric and industrial fabric. As a textile material, polyester short fiber can be spun purely or blended with other fibers; it can be blended with natural fibers such as cotton, linen, and wool, or with other chemical short fibers such as viscose, acetate, and polypropylene. Blended with short fibers such as nitrile fiber. The cotton-like, wool-like and linen-like fabrics made of pure or blended fabrics generally have the original excellent properties of polyester fibers, such as fabric wrinkle resistance and pleat retention, dimensional stability, wear resistance, washability and wearability. However, some of the original shortcomings of polyester fiber, such as static electricity in textile processing, difficulty in dyeing, poor sweat absorption and air permeability, and the tendency to melt into holes when exposed to sparks, can be reduced to a certain extent with the mixing of hydrophilic fibers. can be alleviated and improved. Polyester twisted filament (DT) is mainly used to weave various silk-like fabrics. It can also be interwoven with natural fibers or chemical short fiber yarns, and can also be interwoven with silk or other chemical fiber filaments. This interwoven fabric maintains the unique properties of polyester. Series advantages.
