Cotton polyester? Polyester/cotton? Can you tell?

Xiao Bian to everyone to sort out the difference between cotton and polyester and polyester cotton 哟~~

Polyester cotton

It refers collectively cotton blended fabric of cotton and polyester, using 65% -67% -35% polyester and 33% cotton blended yarn woven textiles, commonly known as Dacron cotton.

Polyester Cotton Introduction

The characteristics of polyester and cotton: It not only highlights the style of polyester but also the strength of cotton fabric. It has good elasticity and wear resistance under dry and wet conditions. It is dimensionally stable and has a small shrinkage rate. It has a straight, unbreakable, easy to wash, The characteristics of quick-drying can not be used high-temperature ironing and boiling water soaking.

Disadvantages of polyester cotton:

The polyester fiber of polyester/cotton belongs to hydrophobic fiber. It has strong affinity for oil stains, and it is easy to absorb oil. It is easy to generate static electricity and absorb dust during wearing. It is difficult to wash, and it cannot be soaked in high temperature ironing and boiling water. Polyester and cotton are synthetic fibers and cannot be degraded.

Polyester cotton classification:

Customers who often buy shirts know that many shirts are marked with polyester or cotton. "Polyester-cotton" and "cotton-polyester" have changed into two different fabrics in the order of two characters. “Polyester-cotton” fabrics refer to polyesters that account for more than 60% of the ingredients, and cottons that contain less than 40%; “cotton-polyester” is the opposite, meaning that the composition of cotton is more than 60% and that of polyester is less than 40%.

Then, what are the two types of fabrics, "polyester-cotton" and "cotton-polyester," which depends on customer preferences and actual needs? In other words, if you want the characteristics of fabric polyester for a shirt to be more, select “polyester cotton” and hope that the characteristics of cotton are more, then choose “cotton-polyester”.

Polyester, cotton, polyester and cotton are blends of polyester and cotton. They are not as comfortable as cotton. Wearing sweat is not as good as cotton. Polyester is the largest producer of synthetic fiber. Polyester has multiple trade names, "Polyester" is the name of our country. The chemical name is polyethylene terephthalate, usually chemically polymerized, so the scientific name often comes with "poly". Polyester is also called polyester. Structure and performance: The structural shape is determined by the spinneret hole. Conventional polyester cross-section is round and has no cavity. Changing the cross-sectional shape of the fiber can produce shaped fibers. Improve brightness and saturation. Fiber macromolecules have high degree of crystallinity and degree of orientation, so fiber strength is high (20 times that of viscose fiber), and the abrasion resistance is good. The elasticity is not easy to wrinkle, the shape and shape of the upright is good, the light resistance is good, the heat is good, the quick drying does not burn after washing, and the wearability can be well after washing.

Polyester and cotton properties

Polyester, cotton, and polyester fabrics are chemical fiber fabrics that do not easily perspire. It feels like a tangled pull, it's easy to get static, and it looks like there is light shining diagonally.

Polyester-cotton blended fabric is a product developed in China in the early 1960s. The fiber has the characteristics of crispness, smoothness, quick-drying, and wear-resistance, and is deeply loved by consumers. At present, the blended varieties have been developed from the original proportion of 65% polyester and 35% cotton to 65:35, 55:45, 50:50, 20:80 and other various proportions of blended fabrics. Its purpose is to adapt to different levels. Consumer demand.

history

Polyester, cotton, polyester and cotton began to appear in China in the early 1960s. The fiber is well-liked, smooth, fast-drying, and wear-resistant. It is well received by consumers. At present, the blended varieties have been developed from the original proportion of 65% polyester and 35% cotton to 65:35, 55:45, 50:50, 20:80 and other various proportions of blended fabrics.

Shortcomings

The polyester fiber of polyester/cotton belongs to hydrophobic fiber. It has strong affinity for oil stains, and it is easy to absorb oil. It is easy to generate static electricity and absorb dust during wearing. It is difficult to wash, and it cannot be soaked in high temperature ironing and boiling water.

classification

Polyester-cotton polyester-cotton blended products, which generally have higher cotton content than polyester, are called CVC yarns, and vice versa are T/C yarns. We usually say that CVC refers to products with cotton content over 65%, and C/T ratio below 55/45. It is still called T/C yarn.

Textile fiber code

Several commonly used textile fibers are generally represented by the following code: ------ Cotton: C Hair: W Hemp: L Silk: S Polyester: T or P Acrylic: A Vinyl: V Viscose: R Polyester/cotton: T/C Polyester/viscose: T/R Hair nitrile: A/WN: Nylon; etc.
