In custom-made work clothes At that time, except for some industries with special requirements, the most commonly used fabrics were pure cotton and polyester cotton. These two seemingly different but slightly related fabrics, what position do they each occupy in the customization and processing of work clothes? What are their different characteristics? How to distinguish? Today we will take these two fabrics as examples to teach you how to quickly distinguish them. In addition to looking at the identification plates and labels, the difference between pure cotton and polyester cotton can also be distinguished through other ways.
Today, the editor will help you quickly distinguish between these two fabrics and make the necessary choices based on the characteristics of the fabric and your own needs.
1. Visual distinction
Pure cotton, velvet There are more, and the color is softer. If it is a printed cloth, the difference in color density between the front and back of the pure cotton cloth is greater.
Polyester-cotton has less fluff and bright color. If it is a printed fabric, the color density of the front and back of the polyester-cotton fabric is relatively close.
2. Distinguish by touch
Pure cotton, thick , soft, poor elasticity, soft but not smooth to the touch.
Polyester-cotton feels not as soft as pure cotton products, is a bit slippery to the touch, and has slightly better elasticity.
Three, distinguish from burning
Pure cotton, a little When it ignites, the flame will be yellow, and the burning smell will be odorless. Just like burning paper, the edges will be soft after burning, leaving very little gray-black flocculent ash.
Polyester cotton will first shrink and then melt when it is close to the flame, emitting thick black smoke and smelling of inferior fragrance. After burning, the edges will become hard and ash. It is a dark brown lump but can be crushed.
4. Distinguish from other characteristics
Pure cotton, Cannot afford static electricity, insulator, will not cause skin allergies, easily absorbs water, is heat and alkali resistant, will shrink, wrinkles easily, is not easy to dry quickly, needs to be ironed after washing
Polyester cotton is easy to generate static electricity and conduct electricity. It can cause allergies to the skin, is not easy to absorb water, is not heat-resistant and alkali-resistant, is not easy to wrinkle, is stiff and has good shape retention, and can dry quickly after washing without ironing.
How about it, after reading the distinction methods listed above, will you soon master the skills of distinguishing pure cotton from polyester cotton?
Next, I will tell you how to choose these two fabrics during the ordering process. Companies that consider insulation, heat resistance, alkali resistance, and pursue comfort and skin-friendliness in work clothes can consider choosing work clothes made of pure cotton fabrics. For companies where employees don’t have extra time to take care of their work clothes, choosing polyester-cotton work clothes with good wrinkle resistance has become a good choice.
