Fabric Knowledge: The Difference Between Pure Cotton And Combed Cotton

Combed cotton The difference between cotton and pure cotton

　　 Characteristics of pure cotton

Hygroscopicity:

Cotton fiber has good hygroscopicity. Under normal conditions, fiber can absorb moisture into the surrounding atmosphere. Its moisture content is 8-10%, so it touches human skin and makes people feel soft and not rigid. If the humidity of the cotton cloth is increased and the ambient temperature is higher, the water content in the fiber will evaporate completely, so that the fabric can maintain the water balance state and make people feel comfortable.

Moisture retention:

Because cotton fiber is a poor conductor of heat and electricity, its thermal conductivity is very low, and because of its porous nature and high elasticity, it can store a lot of air between the fibers, and the air is also a poor conductor of heat and electricity. Therefore, pure cotton fiber textiles have good moisture retention and wear pure cotton fabrics. clothing It makes people feel warm.

Heat resistance:

The heat resistance of pure cotton fabric is good. When it is below 110 Celsius, it will only cause moisture evaporation on the fabric, and will not damage the fiber. So pure cotton fabric is not affected by washing and dyeing at normal temperature, so it can improve the washing and wearability of pure cotton fabric.

Alkali resistance:

Cotton fiber has greater resistance to alkali. Cotton fibers do not break down in alkali solution. This property is beneficial to washing and disinfection after taking the medicine, and can also dye, print and process all cotton textiles, so as to produce more new cotton varieties.

Hygiene:

Cotton fibers are natural fibers whose main components are cellulose, and a small amount of waxy substances and nitrogen compounds and pectin. The cotton fabric has been tested and tested in many ways. There is no stimulation and no negative effect on the contact between the fabric and the skin. Long wearing is beneficial to the human body and has good hygienic performance.

Characteristics of combed cotton

The combed cotton (Combed Cotton) removes the shorter fibers (less than 1CM) from the cotton fibers by comber, leaving the longer and neat fibers. Combed cotton has better air permeability and sweat absorbs and is more comfortable to wear.

　　 Combed cotton The difference between cotton and pure cotton technology

Combing and combing refers to the spinning process, so for cotton yarn, the combed cotton yarn is generally pure cotton fabric, and combed cotton yarn is the combed cotton that we often hear.

Where is the advantage of combed cotton than pure cotton?

Combed cotton fabric has a more detailed texture and higher quality than ordinary cotton. The fabric made of combed cotton yarn has higher quality, washability and durability than the quality standard of ordinary cotton.

Use of combed cotton

Combed yarn can be used to produce high quality textiles, such as high-grade products. Shirt Top grade men and women cotton socks are more suitable for underwear, especially for the elderly and children.
