Pure cotton: more fluff , soft color. If it is a printed cloth, the difference in color concentration between the front and back of the pure cotton cloth is greater
Polyester-cotton: less fluff, bright color. If it is a printed cloth, the color density of the front and back of the polyester-cotton cloth The concentration comparison is very close
2. Touch:
Pure cotton: thick, soft, less elastic, soft but not smooth to the touch
Polyester cotton: not as good as the touch Pure cotton products are soft, slippery to the touch, and slightly elastic

4. Other characteristics
Pure cotton: no static electricity, insulator, not allergic to skin, easy to absorb water, heat-resistant, alkali-resistant, will shrink, easy to flake Wrinkles, not easy to dry quickly, needs to be ironed after washing
Polyester-cotton: easy to generate static electricity, electrical conductor, can cause skin allergies, not easy to absorb water, not resistant to heat and alkali, not easy to wrinkle, stiff Good shape retention, quick drying and no need to iron after washing
