What are the differences and advantages between knitted cotton and pure cotton?

The differences, advantages and disadvantages between knitted cotton and pure cotton;

1, knitted cotton looks like pure cotton. Cotton fiber has good hygroscopicity. Generally speaking, cotton fiber can absorb moisture in the air, which is why knitted cotton and pure cotton can make people feel comfortable when wearing. But the heat resistance of pure cotton fabric is better. Because of its textile technology, knitted cotton has a smooth surface. Compared with pure cotton, it is not easy to pilling.

2. From the characteristics of the two fabrics, knitted cotton is characterized by good dyeability, high color vividness, high fastness, wearing comfort and hygroscopicity close to pure cotton. Disadvantages are acid resistance and poor elasticity. Pure cotton is characterized by good hygroscopicity and high wearing comfort.

3. There is no difference between the two fabrics in material selection. Knitted cotton is actually made of cotton thread through knitting process. They are all made of cotton, and there is not much difference between comfort and health. The difference is that knitted cotton has a good dyeing process. As for the quality of dyeing process, it is another matter.

There is not much difference between knitted cotton and pure cotton. The main differences are dyeing process, durability and fabric hygroscopicity. Because of the difference in technology and fabric surface, the two fabrics are only different in comfort and hygroscopicity.

Advantages of knitted cotton:

1、? The texture is thinner and lighter, and it is very light to wear on the body. According to statistics, southern cities also buy more knitted cotton, which is caused by this feature.

2、? Good water absorption and air permeability. It is a good material for making T-shirts. Because the yarns are connected in series, an air belt is formed inside the clothes, which is mainly based on adsorption performance.

3、? Good elasticity means good elasticity, and the fabric has a large expansion space, which meets the needs of human movement and is more comfortable. Not easy to shrink, unlike pure cotton, it is easy to wrinkle and shrink.

4、? Clothing made of knitted cotton also has the characteristics of quick washing and easy drying. When we clean, we need to pay attention to put it in a well-ventilated place, and the clothes will soon dry.

Disadvantages of knitted cotton:

1、? Because knitted cotton is woven by loops, it means that if the thread is not handled properly, it is easy to fall off, it is easy to slowly tear off the lines of clothes, and it is easy to spread out, resulting in unsightly and damaged. We can make up for this by reinforcing the thread ends.

First, advantages:

1, comfort: humidity balance. Pure cotton fiber can absorb water into the surrounding atmosphere, and its water content is 8- 10%, so it feels soft but not stiff when it comes into contact with skin. If the humidity increases and the ambient temperature is higher, all the moisture contained in the fiber will evaporate and disperse, so that the fabric can keep moisture balance and make people feel comfortable.

2. Keep warm: the thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity of cotton fiber are extremely low, the fiber itself is porous and elastic, and a large amount of air can accumulate in the gap between fibers (air is also a poor conductor of heat and electricity), which has high warmth retention.

3, durable processing:

(1) When the temperature is lower than 1 10℃, only the moisture in the fabric will evaporate, and the fiber will not be damaged. Washing and printing at room temperature will not have any effect on the fabric, and the washing and wear resistance of the fabric will be improved.

(2) Cotton fiber is naturally alkali-resistant, and the fiber will not be damaged by alkali, which is beneficial to the washing of clothes. And dyeing, printing and other processes.

Environmental protection: Cotton fiber is a natural fiber. Pure cotton fabric has no irritation to skin, which is beneficial and harmless to human body.

Second, shortcomings.

1, easy to wrinkle: it is not easy to arrange after wrinkle.

2. Shrinkage: The negative influence of cotton fiber's strong hygroscopicity, the shrinkage rate of pure cotton fabric is 2% to 5%.

3. Deformation: The negative effects of porous cotton fibers and large gaps make the whole fabric light and thin, and clothes are easy to deform. If it is thickened, it will be very heavy.

4. Sticky hair: The porous structure of fiber has stronger adsorption on hair than other fabrics, and it is difficult to completely remove it.

5, afraid of acid: alkali resistance is bound to be afraid of acid, cotton cloth is extremely corrosive in acidic environment, and sometimes a drop of vinegar accidentally gets on clothes, which will cause fatal injury.

Extended data

Cotton, that is, cotton fiber, is a seed fiber formed by the elongation and thickening of epidermal cells of fertilized ovules, which is different from ordinary bast fibers. Its main component is cellulose.

Cotton is the seed fiber of Malvaceae, which is native to subtropical zone.

The plant is shrubby and can grow to 6 meters high in tropical areas, usually 1 to 2 meters.

The flowers are milky white, turn dark red shortly after flowering, and then wither, leaving a small green capsule called cotton boll.

There are cottonseed in cotton bolls, and the fluff on cottonseed grows from cottonseed hulls and fills cotton bolls.
