What are the advantages of cotton fabrics?

It has good hygroscopicity, and the official moisture regain rate is 8.5%; but the shrinkage rate is relatively large, about 4%~10%.

It has good heat resistance and light resistance. The ironing temperature can reach 190℃. It can increase by 20~30℃ if dry cloth is used, and 40~60℃ for wet cloth. Cotton fabrics are good for wet ironing and easy to iron. However, prolonged exposure to the sun will cause color fading and decrease in strength.

High strength, wet strength is higher than dry strength, easy to wash.

Alkali and acid resistance, it produces mercerizing effect under the action of tension and lye, which increases the strength and obtains durable gloss. Let it shrink without tension, which is called shrinking alkali.

The resilience is poor and the abrasion resistance is not good enough.

Cotton fibers are susceptible to microbes such as molds, which can cause cellulose macromolecules to be hydrolyzed, mold, and cause black spots to cause color changes. Especially high-quality cotton products have more prominent color changes. You should pay attention to it during maintenance.
