When customizing work clothes, except for some industries with special requirements, the most commonly used fabrics In fact, there are two types: 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 has more fluff and soft color. If it is printed cloth, compare the color density of the front and back of the pure cotton cloth. The difference is even 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.

Pure cotton is thick, soft, less elastic, and feels soft but not smooth.
Polyester-cotton feels not as soft as pure cotton products, is a bit slippery to the touch, and has slightly better elasticity.

Pure cotton ignites at one point, the flame is yellow, and the burning smell has no peculiar smell. It is the same as burning paper, and the edges after burning It is soft and leaves little gray-black flocculent ash.
Polyester and cotton will first shrink and then melt when approached to a flame, emitting thick black smoke and smelling like inferior fragrance. After burning, the edges will become hard, and the ashes will be dark brown lumps, but they can be crushed.

Pure cotton cannot afford static electricity, is an insulator, does not cause allergies to the skin, is easy to absorb water, is heat-resistant and resistant to Alkali, will shrink, wrinkle easily, not easy to dry quickly, needs to be ironed after washing
Polyester and cotton, easy to produce static electricity, conductor, can cause skin allergies, not easy to absorb water, not heat-resistant, intolerant Alkaline, not easy to wrinkle, stiff and good in shape retention, quick drying after washing and no need to iron.
