Textile Fabrics - Polyester And Cotton Fibers

    According to the classification of textile fabrics, polyester fiber fabrics can be divided into woven fabrics and knitted fabrics.

    Polyester woven fabrics are widely used in coats, dresses, chiffon, pants and other outerwear; polyester knitted fabrics are mainly used to make close-fitting garments, such as sports t-shirts, tights, underwear, sportswear, yoga wear, outdoor clothing, etc.

    Compared with polyester fiber, cotton fiber is a natural plant fiber, soft to the touch, sweat-absorbing, breathable, cool in winter, cool in summer, and free of static electricity, but the disadvantages are poor elasticity, easy to wrinkle, not stiff enough, easy to shrink, and easy to deform. The knitted cotton fabric can quickly absorb and wick sweat, and the fabric has good moisture absorption and breathability.

    Polyester fiber is also one of the components of many fabrics. Due to its low hygroscopicity, its wet strength is basically the same as its dry strength. The impact strength is 4 times higher than that of nylon and 20 times higher than that of viscose fiber. Resistant to bleaches, oxidants, hydrocarbons, ketones, petroleum products and inorganic acids. Dilute alkali resistance, not afraid of mildew, but hot alkali can make it decompose. It also has strong anti-acid and alkali resistance and anti-ultraviolet ability.

    However, polyester fiber has poor sweat absorption function, and the modified polyester fiber fabric absorbs moisture and sweat and is usually used as a sports and leisure clothing fabric.

    The two kinds of fabrics have different uses. For example, under the condition of outdoor sports, polyester fiber fabrics have the advantages of fast moisture absorption, fast perspiration and fast drying. The wearing effect and comfort are definitely better than knitted cotton fabrics. ; For example, in daily home life, cotton is skin-friendly, comfortable, soft and breathable, which is definitely a more suitable choice.
