Pure cotton fabric is one of the fabrics commonly used in clothing fabrics in our lives. It is divided into three categories according to different plant tissues: plain fabric, twill fabric, and satin fabric.
Let's first understand what kind of fabric is a cotton twill fabric? Its material is cotton, so the characteristic of its organizational structure, the surface of the fabric has diagonal weaves composed of warp (or weft) floating long lines, so it is called pure cotton twill fabric! Twill fabrics are divided into two types: coarse twill and fine twill.
1. The advantages of pure cotton twill fabric
1. Insulation
Because cotton fiber is a poor conductor of heat and electricity, the thermal conductivity is extremely low, and because cotton fiber itself has the advantages of porosity and high elasticity, a large amount of air can accumulate between the fibers, and air is a poor conductor of heat and electricity. Therefore, the twill fabric made of pure cotton has good thermal insulation properties, and people feel warm when wearing pure cotton clothing.
2. Alkali resistance
The resistance of pure cotton twill fabric is great. The cotton fiber will not be damaged in the alkali solution. This performance is beneficial to the washing of pollution after consumption, disinfection and removal of impurities, and it can also dye, print and print cotton textiles. Various processes are used to produce more new varieties of cotton weaving.
3. Heat resistance
Pure cotton fabric has good heat resistance. When the temperature is below 110℃, it will only cause moisture on the fabric to evaporate without damaging the fiber. Therefore, pure cotton fabric has no effect on the fabric under normal temperature, wearing, washing, printing and dyeing. Improve the washability and wearability of cotton fabrics.
4. Hygroscopicity
Pure cotton twill fabric is very hygroscopic. Under normal conditions, the fiber can absorb moisture from the surrounding atmosphere, and its moisture content is 8-10%, so it touches human skin and makes people feel soft and not stiff. If the humidity of the cotton cloth increases and the surrounding temperature is higher, all the water contained in the fiber will evaporate and disperse, so that the fabric can maintain a water balance and make people feel comfortable.
2. Disadvantages of pure cotton twill fabric
1. It is easy to shrink. The shrinkage rate of pure cotton clothing is 2% to 5%, except for special processing or washing treatment.
2. It is easy to wrinkle, and it is more difficult to smooth it after wrinkle.
3. It is easy to stick to the hair and difficult to remove completely.
4. Easy to deform, lack of elasticity, cotton clothing will be easy to deform, especially summer clothes, because the fabric is relatively thin.
