What is the difference between cotton, polycotton, and polyester

The difference between cotton, polyester cotton, and polyester is: different compositions, different characteristics, and different washing methods.

First, the composition is different.

1. Cotton: the cotton content is 100%, generally plain cloth, poplin, twill, labor cloth, etc.

2. Polyester cotton: containing 65%-67% polyester and 33%-35% cotton blended yarn, commonly known as "really good".

3. Polyester: also known as "polyester fiber", polyester made of organic dibasic acid and diol polycondensation is synthesized by spinning, which is a polymer compound.

Second, the characteristics are different.

1. Cotton: It has the advantages of anti-odor, breathability, comfort, strong alkali resistance, no acid resistance, and good high temperature resistance.

2. Polyester cotton: in dry and wet conditions, the elasticity and abrasion resistance are good, the size is stable, the shrinkage rate is small, and it has the characteristics of straightness, not easy to wrinkle, easy to wash and fast drying. It has a strong affinity for oil stains, is easy to absorb oil stains, and is easy to generate static electricity and adsorb dust during wearing, making it difficult to wash.

3. Polyester: good wrinkle resistance and shape retention, with high strength and elastic recovery ability. It is durable, wrinkle-resistant, non-iron-free, and non-sticky. Compared with natural fibers, there are disadvantages such as low moisture content, poor air permeability, poor dyeing, easy pilling, and easy staining.

Third, the washing method is different.

1. Cotton: all kinds of detergents can be used, but try not to use laundry detergent, it is best to use transparent soap or soap powder, soap cream. Wash the laundry with warm water and let it cool before soaking. Chlorine bleaching is not advisable.

2. Polyester cotton: can not be ironed at high temperature and soaked in boiling water.

3. Polyester: The soaking time in the washing process should not be too long, and it is generally necessary to wash with soaking.

The cotton is 100 cotton fabric, which is soft and comfortable to the touch.

Polyester-cotton is a mixture of polyester and cotton, and it is not as comfortable to feel as cotton. Wear and not as good as cotton suckers.

Polyester is a chemical fiber fabric that does not easily wick away perspiration. It feels like a prickly pull to the touch, and it is easy to get static electricity, and it looks bright when it is oblique.

The main differences are, different properties, different characteristics, and different applications, as follows:

First, the nature is different.

1. Pure cotton fabric.

Pure cotton fabric is a textile made of cotton as raw material, through a loom, and interwoven by the vertical and horizontal ups and downs of warp and weft yarns.

2. Polyester. Polyester fiber, commonly known as "polyester". It is a synthetic fiber obtained by spinning polyester formed by polycondensation of organic diacids and diols, referred to as PET fiber, which is a polymer compound.

Second, the characteristics are different.

1. Pure cotton fabric.

It has the characteristics of moisture absorption, warmth, heat resistance, alkali resistance, hygiene and so on. The disadvantages are easy to wrinkle, easy to shrink, and easy to change.

2. Polyester. It has good wrinkle resistance and shape retention, and has high strength and elastic recovery ability. It is durable, wrinkle-resistant, non-iron-free, and non-sticky.

Third, the application is different.

1. Pure cotton fabric.

Cotton fabrics have good moisture absorption and heat resistance, and are comfortable to wear. Some workwear in industries with high requirements for moisture absorption of clothing can choose pure cotton fabrics for processing. For example, school uniforms in the summer.

2. Polyester. It is especially suitable for weaving imitation wool, serge and other suit fabrics, outerwear, coats and various decorative fabrics such as curtains, tablecloths, sofa fabrics, etc.

Physiological properties of cotton

Cotton has the habit of liking temperature and light, infinite growth and bud bell shedding. Temperature and light have a strong influence on fiber maturation and strength. The suitable temperature for growth and development is 25 30, the early maturing varieties are required to be more than 10, the accumulated temperature is not less than 2900 3100, the duration is not less than 150 days, and the daily average temperature of the hottest month in summer is not less than 23; The accumulated temperature of medium-ripening varieties is at least 3200 3400, and the duration is more than 200 days;

The accumulated temperature of late-maturing varieties is more than 3500 and the duration is more than 220 250 days. After absorbing enough water equivalent to 60% of the air-dried weight, the cotton seed began to germinate at 10 12, and the hypocotyl elongated and the cotyledons emerged when the temperature was higher than 16. Flowering, boll setting and fiber development require a temperature above 20, and pollen cannot develop normally when it is below 20, and the thickening of fibers is hindered.

However, too high temperature will also inhibit the growth and development of cotton, and cotton pollen will lose its vitality when it is above 37 40, and it will be difficult to fertilize, resulting in a large number of buds falling off. Many island cotton and late-maturing upland cotton varieties also have certain requirements for short daylight, while early-maturing and medium-maturing upland cotton varieties are no longer sensitive to the response of sunshine length and can develop normally under both long and short day sunshine.

1. The properties of wax are different: cotton fabric is a kind of textile made of cotton as raw material, through the loom, warp and weft yarns interwoven with each other. Polyester, commonly known as polyester fiber, is a synthetic fiber made of polycondensation of organic dicarboxylic acids and glycols.

Referred to as PET fiber, it is a polymer compound.

2. Different characteristics: pure cotton fabrics have the characteristics of moisture absorption, heat preservation, heat resistance, alkali resistance, hygiene, etc., and the disadvantages are easy to wrinkle and shrinkage. Polyester has good wrinkle resistance and shape retention, and has high strength and elastic recovery ability, it is also durable, wrinkle-resistant, non-sticky to hair, etc.

3. Different applications: pure cotton fabrics have good moisture absorption and heat resistance, and are comfortable to wear. Some industries that require high moisture absorption of garments can choose pure cotton fabrics for processing. Polyester is especially suitable for weaving suits, coats, and various curtains, tablecloths, and sofas.

What kind of fabric is polyester.

Polyester is a polyester fiber, belonging to a polymer compound, is a kind of wrinkle resistance and good shape retention of synthetic fiber, often used to make coats and clothing, or bags and tents used in the field and other fabrics, in addition, polyester chemical properties are stable, not afraid of mold and insects, but poor hygroscopicity, impermeable, easy to dry after washing, Yishanchang belt with static electricity in winter.

What kind of fabric is pure cotton.

Pure cotton fabric is a fabric made of cotton as raw material and produced by textile technology, which has the characteristics of water absorption and breathability, and also has good heat resistance and alkali resistance. The moisture absorption and heat resistance of pure cotton fabrics are good, and the clothes made of pure cotton are very comfortable and easy to wear.

Advantages: low density, soft texture, good elasticity, comfortable and lightweight to wear; Good oxidation resistance, excellent wear resistance, flexural resistance, high hardness; Youfan's different sedan cushioning and anti-skid performance; Good temperature resistance; Good resistance to chemical mold products; It is easy to corrode, which is conducive to environmental protection and is not easy to wrinkle.

Disadvantages: strong water absorption, easy yellowing, easy breakage, poor elongation, not water resistant, perishable bottom, poor air permeability.
