Pure Advantages of cotton fabrics:
1. Hygroscopicity
Cotton fiber has good hygroscopicity. Under normal circumstances, the fiber can absorb moisture from the surrounding atmosphere. Its moisture content is 8-10%, so when it contacts human skin, it makes people feel soft and soft. Not stiff. If the humidity of cotton cloth increases and the surrounding temperature is high, all the moisture contained in the fiber will evaporate and dissipate, keeping the fabric in a water balance state and making people feel comfortable.
2. Moisturizing properties
Because cotton fiber is a poor conductor of heat and electricity, the thermal conductivity coefficient is extremely low, and because cotton fiber itself is porous and has high elasticity, a large amount of air can accumulate between the fibers, and air is a poor conductor of heat and electricity. Therefore, pure Cotton fiber textiles have good moisture retention, and wearing pure cotton fabrics makes people feel warm.
3. Heat resistance
Pure cotton fabrics have good heat resistance. When the temperature is below 110°C, it will only cause the water on the fabric to evaporate and will not damage the fibers. Therefore, pure cotton fabrics have no effect on the fabrics at room temperature, such as wearing, using, washing, printing and dyeing. Therefore, It improves the washability and wear resistance of pure cotton fabrics.
4. Alkali resistance
Cotton fiber has greater resistance to alkali. In the alkali solution, the fiber will not be damaged. This property is beneficial to the washing of pollution after consumption, disinfection and removal of impurities. At the same time, it can also be used for dyeing, printing and various processing of pure cotton textiles to produce more new varieties of cotton fabrics. .
5. Hygiene
Cotton fiber is a natural fiber whose main component is cellulose. There are a small amount of waxy substances and nitrogenous substances and pectin. Pure cotton fabrics have been tested and practiced in many aspects. There is no irritation or side effects when the fabric comes into contact with the skin. It is beneficial to the human body when worn for a long time and has good hygienic performance.
Disadvantages:
1. It wrinkles easily and is more difficult to smooth out after wrinkles.
2. Easy to shrink, pure cotton clothing The shrinkage rate is 2% to 5%, except after special processing or washing.
3. Easily deformed, even pure cotton clothing will It is easy to deform, especially summer clothes, because the fabric is relatively thin.
4. Easy to stick to hair and difficult to remove completely Clear.
5. Poor acid resistance, especially acid-phobic. When concentrated sulfuric acid contaminates cotton, holes will be burned into the cotton. When acid (such as vinegar) accidentally gets on the clothes, it should be cleaned in time to prevent acetic acid from causing fatal damage to the clothes.
