Moisture absorption and moisturizing: 100% cotton has better moisture absorption and moisturizing properties than pure cotton (cotton content>75%), because the cotton fiber The moisture content is about 10%, so it can absorb moisture in the air, and fabrics with this moisture content are very compatible with human skin, which is why cotton fabrics are very comfortable and will not feel dry. At the same time, cotton fiber has a porous structure and can store air between fibers, which also makes cotton fabrics very outstanding in terms of moisture retention.

Alkali resistance: Cotton fibers have good alkali resistance. Even strong alkali will not damage the fiber. This makes pure cotton products much more convenient to disinfect, wash and dye. However, cotton fabrics should avoid contact with acidic substances.

However, under experimental research, at 100 degrees, the water of pure cotton products only evaporates, and the fiber structure There are not too many changes, which makes it convenient for factories to process cotton fabrics (printing, dyeing, shaping, etc.).

Disadvantages of 100% cotton fabrics:
The main disadvantages of 100% cotton fabrics are that they are not very elastic and may shrink or pill to a certain extent after washing. The wrinkle resistance is also very average. These Disadvantages will affect the appearance of cotton clothes to varying degrees.
