What is the difference between polyester and pure cotton, and how to distinguish between these two fabrics?

    What is the difference between polyester and pure cotton? First, let's take a look at what these two fabrics are

    Polyester: Polyester Fabric is widely used in clothing manufacturing and industrial products. Polyester is a cheap, sturdy, durable, and not easily deformed fabric.

    The advantages of polyester fabric: good elasticity, elasticity close to wool, almost completely recoverable. The wrinkle resistance exceeds other fibers, meaning the fabric does not wrinkle and has good dimensional stability; Good heat resistance, polyester belongs to thermoplastic fibers. The heat resistance and insulation of Polyester Fiber are the best among synthetic fibers; Good wear resistance. Wear resistance is second only to nylon, which has the best wear resistance, and better than other natural and synthetic fibers.

    Disadvantages of polyester fabric: easy to absorb oil and dust, difficult to wash, prone to static electricity, and cannot be ironed at high temperatures or soaked in boiling water. Polyester Cotton is a synthetic fiber that cannot be degraded and is not conducive to environmental protection.

    Pure cotton: Pure cotton fabric is made from cotton as raw material, produced through weaving machines and textile processes. Currently, it is divided into virgin cotton fabric and recycled cotton fabric according to the actual source of processed cotton.

    The advantages of pure cotton fabric: moisture absorption. Cotton fibers have good moisture absorption properties. Under normal circumstances, pure cotton fabric absorbs moisture from the surrounding area and comes into contact with the skin surface, making people feel soft; Moisturizing properties: Cotton fibers themselves have porosity and high elasticity. Pure cotton fiber textiles have good moisturizing properties, and wearing pure cotton clothing makes people feel warm; Heat resistance: Pure cotton fabrics have good heat resistance, which improves their washing and wearing resistance at room temperature; Alkali resistance: Cotton fibers have a strong resistance to alkali and can be used for dyeing, printing, and various processing techniques on pure cotton textiles, allowing for the production of more new cotton varieties.

    Hygiene: Pure cotton fabric has been tested and practiced in various aspects. The fabric has no irritation or negative effects when in contact with the skin, and long-term wear is beneficial and harmless to the human body.

    Disadvantages: prone to wrinkling, and difficult to smooth out after wrinkling; Easy to shrink; Easy to deform; Easy to stick to hair;
