How Do Cotton Fabrics Compare To Polyester Fabrics?

    Cotton is a general term for all kinds of cotton textiles, which are mostly used to make fashion, casual wear, underwear, and shirts. Compared with chemical fibers, cotton has good heat retention, strong moisture absorption, and good softness.

    As a clothing material, pure cotton is better than polyester. From the perspective of hygroscopicity, air permeability, etc., pure cotton is better than polyester. Why is it said that as a clothing material, pure cotton material is better than polyester fabric?

    This is because polyester fabrics are easy to absorb oil and dust, are difficult to wash, are prone to static electricity, and cannot be ironed at high temperature and soaked in boiling water.

    Cotton fiber has good hygroscopicity. Under normal circumstances, the pure cotton fabric absorbs moisture from the surroundings and touches the skin surface, making people feel soft. Moreover, the cotton fiber itself has porosity and high elasticity, and the pure cotton fiber textile has good moisturizing properties, and wearing pure cotton fabric clothing makes people feel warm. In terms of heat resistance, pure cotton fabrics have good heat resistance, and at room temperature, the washability and wear resistance of pure cotton fabrics are improved. In addition, cotton fiber has great resistance to alkali and can dye print, and process pure cotton textiles, so more new varieties of cotton can be produced.

    In terms of hygiene, pure cotton fabrics have been tested and practiced in many aspects. There is no irritation or negative effect between the fabric and the skin. It is beneficial and harmless to the human body when worn for a long time.

    However, pure cotton fabrics are easy to wrinkle, they are more difficult to smooth after wrinkling, and they are easy to shrink, deform and stick.
