Polyester-cotton and cotton-polyester: one reversed name, two different feels

1, characteristics of polyester and cotton ：

not only highlights the style of polyester but also Cotton fabric has the advantages of good elasticity and wear resistance in both dry and wet conditions, stable size, small shrinkage, stiffness, not easy to wrinkle, easy to wash, and quick-drying. It cannot be ironed with high temperature or boiling water. Soak.

2. Disadvantages of polycotton:

The polyester fiber in polyester cotton is a hydrophobic fiber. It has a strong affinity for oil stains and easily absorbs oil stains. It also easily generates static electricity and absorbs dust during wearing. It is difficult to wash and cannot be ironed at high temperatures or soaked in boiling water.

3, polycotton classification:

Customers who often buy shirts know that many shirt fabric labels Wear polyester or cotton polyester. “Polyester cotton” and “cotton polyester”, when the order of the two words is changed, they become two different fabrics. “Polyester-cotton” fabric means that the content of polyester is more than 60%, and the content of cotton is less than 40%; “cotton-polyester” is just the opposite, meaning that the content of polyester is more than 60%, and the content of polyester is less than 40%.

The origin of cotton polyester

Cotton-polyester is a hybrid fabric developed in the 1960s, which is made of cotton and polyester Mixed fabrics generally contain more than 60% cotton and less than 40% polyester. Otherwise, they are called polyester-cotton fabrics. Cotton-polyester fabrics have stronger wrinkle resistance, better color solidity, and better elasticity than pure cotton fabrics. , has good shape setting, good light and heat resistance, and is relatively less prone to shrinkage and fading problems; compared with polyester fabrics, cotton-polyester fabrics are more comfortable, have better breathability, and are less likely to generate static electricity and absorb dust. .

How does cotton and polyester clothing feel? ?

Cotton-polyester clothing combines the skin-friendly and breathable properties of cotton with the anti-wrinkle, smooth, three-dimensional and stylish properties of polyester Features, not only comfortable to wear, but also excellent texture.

So, which fabric is better, “polyester-cotton” or “cotton-polyester”? This depends on the customer’s preferences and actual needs. In other words, if you want the fabric of a shirt to have more polyester properties, choose “polyester-cotton”; if you want cotton to have more properties, choose “cotton-polyester”.

Polyester cotton is a mixture of polyester and cotton, and its feel is not as comfortable as pure cotton. It is better to wear cotton than to absorb sweat. Polyester is the largest variety of synthetic fibers with the highest output. Polyester has multiple trade names, and “polyester” is the trade name in my country. The chemical name is polyethylene terephthalate, which is usually polymerized by chemicals, so the scientific name often contains “poly”. Polyester is also called polyester. Structure and performance: The structural shape is determined by the spinneret hole. The cross-section of conventional polyester is circular without a middle cavity. By changing the cross-sectional shape of the fiber, special-shaped fibers can be produced. Improve brightness and cohesion. The fiber macromolecules have high crystallinity and high orientation, so the fiber has high strength (20 times that of viscose fiber) and good wear resistance. It has good elasticity and is not easy to wrinkle, stiff and shape-retaining, good light and heat resistance, quick-drying and no ironing after washing, and good washability and wearability.

Polyester is a chemical fiber fabric and does not wick away sweat easily. It feels pricklyIt feels like it easily generates static electricity, and it looks bright when tilted.

Polyester-cotton blended fabric is a variety developed in my country in the early 1960s. The fiber is crisp, smooth, quick-drying, and durable, and is deeply loved by consumers. At present, blended fabrics have developed from the original ratio of 65% polyester to 35% cotton to blended fabrics with various ratios such as 65:35, 55:45, 50:50, 20:80, etc. The purpose is to adapt to different levels of consumer demand.
