Polyester-cotton refers to polyester-cotton blended fabrics, which are polyester-based blends. Polyester-cotton blends are polyester-based blends of 65%-67% polyester and 33%-35% cotton blended yarns. Polyester cotton cloth is commonly known as cotton.
Polyester cotton features:
It not only highlights the style of polyester but also the strength of cotton fabric. It has good elasticity and wear resistance in dry and wet conditions, stable size, small shrinkage, and features of straightening, not easy to wrinkle, easy to wash and quick drying. Do not use high temperature ironing and boiling water to soak.
Disadvantages of polyester cotton:
Polyester cotton is a hydrophobic fiber. It has strong affinity for oil stains and is easy to absorb oil. It is easy to generate static electricity during the wearing process, it is difficult to wash, and it cannot be washed with high temperature ironing and boiling water.
Classification of polyester cotton:
Customers who often buy shirts know that many shirts are made of polyester or cotton. "Polyester cotton" and "cotton polyester", the order of the two words has become two different fabrics. "Polyester-cotton" fabric means that the composition of polyester accounts for more than 60%, and the composition of cotton is 40%; "cotton polyester" is the opposite, that is, the composition of the surface is more than 60%, and the composition of polyester is 40%.
Then, which of the two kinds of fabrics, “polyester cotton” and “cotton polyester”, is better? This depends on the preferences and actual needs of customers. That is to say, if you want the fabric of a shirt to have more characteristics of polyester, you will choose "polyester cotton". If you want more characteristics of Burmese, you will choose "cotton polyester".
Polyester cotton is a mixture of polyester and cotton that is not as comfortable as cotton. Wearing and not as good as cotton sweat. Polyester is the largest variety of synthetic fibers. Polyester has several trade names, and "polyester" is the trade name of our country. The chemical name is polyethylene terephthalate, which is usually a chemical polymerization. Therefore, the scientific name often has "poly". Polyester is also called polyester. Structure and performance: The structure is determined by the spinning hole. The conventional polyester has a circular cross section and no intermediate cavity. By changing the cross-sectional shape of the fiber, a shaped fiber can be produced. Improve brightness and cohesion. The fiber macromolecule has a high crystallinity and a high degree of orientation, so the fiber strength is high (20 times that of viscose fiber) and the abrasion resistance is good. It has good elasticity and is not easy to wrinkle. It has good shape retention, good light resistance and heat resistance. It is quick-drying and non-iron after washing, and has good washing and wearability.
Polyester is a chemical fiber fabric that does not easily wick away perspiration. It feels like a squeaky pull, it is easy to get static electricity, and it looks bright on the slant.
Polyester-cotton blended fabric is a variety developed in China in the early 1960s. The fiber has the characteristics of crispness, smoothness, quick drying and durability, and is well received by consumers. At present, the blended varieties have developed from the original ratio of 65% polyester to 35% cotton to 65:35, 55:45, 50:50, 20:80 and other different proportions of blended fabrics, the purpose is to adapt to different levels. Consumer demand.
