What is pure cotton fabric?
Pure cotton is a textile made of cotton as raw material and made of warp and weft yarns intertwined vertically and horizontally through a loom.
Advantages of pure cotton fabric
1. Cotton is naturally soft and non-irritating to the skin. No odor, no pollution, no bleaching, no additives, fresh and natural smell, it is an absolutely warm, healthy and environmentally friendly product. It is especially suitable for the elderly and children and is the first choice for health and warmth.
2. No parasitic bacteria, natural and environmentally friendly. Cotton is a pure plant fiber with no nutrients and is not prone to bacterial growth.
3. It has good warmth retention, strong heat storage capacity, and does not generate static electricity. When pure cotton is exposed to sunlight, the elasticity of the cotton fiber will recover and elongate, and the fiber will store more heat energy. Therefore, the thickness of the quilt after exposure to the sun will increase significantly and it will feel very soft. At night, when you cover the quilt with the sun, you will feel the heat inside the cotton slowly dissipating, making you feel close to the body, warm and soft, making you feel comfortable and warm. You fall asleep quickly.
Characteristics of pure cotton fabrics
1. Moisture absorption and warmth
Cotton fibers have good hygroscopicity. Under normal circumstances, the fibers can The surrounding atmosphere absorbs moisture, and its moisture content is 8-10%, so when it contacts people’s skin, it makes people feel soft but not stiff. If the cotton humidity increases and the surrounding temperature is high, all the moisture contained in the fiber will evaporate and dissipate, keeping the fabric in a water balance state and making people feel comfortable. Because cotton fiber is a poor conductor of heat and electricity, the thermal conductivity coefficient is extremely low, and because cotton fiber itself is porous and has high elasticity, a large amount of air can accumulate between the fibers, and air is a poor conductor of heat and electricity. Therefore, pure Cotton fiber textiles have good moisture retention, and pure cotton fabrics make people feel warm.
2. Heat resistance and alkali resistance
Pure cotton fabric has good heat resistance. When it is below 110℃, it will only cause the water on the fabric to evaporate and will not damage the fiber. Cotton fiber has greater resistance to alkali. In the alkali solution, cotton fiber will not be damaged. This property is beneficial to the dyeing, printing and various processing of pure cotton textiles to produce more new varieties of cotton fabrics.
13. Hygiene and environmental protection
Cotton fiber is a natural fiber. Its main component is cellulose, as well as a small amount of waxy substances, chlorine-containing substances and pectin. Pure cotton fabric has been tested and practiced in many aspects. It has no thorns in contact with the skin, has no negative effects, is beneficial to the human body, and has good hygienic performance.
Washing and maintenance methods
1. Various disinfectants can be used, it can be washed by hand and machine, and it cannot be bleached with chlorine every day. Light colors and whites can be soaked for 1 to 2 hours for better washing and decontamination effects. Dark colors should not be soaked for too long to avoid fading and should be washed in time.
2. After washing and dehydration, it should be flat and hung to dry quickly to reduce wrinkles. Avoid exposure to the sun to avoid fading. When drying in the sun, spread it out with its reverse side facing out.
3. Storage: Pure cotton products must be washed first and dried before being stored. At the same time, the storage boxes and cabinets must be kept clean and sealed as much as possible to prevent dust contamination.
