As the name suggests, washed cotton is washable cotton. Maybe many people are not very clear about what is washed cotton, what characteristics it has, and what is the difference between washed cotton and pure cotton. Then follow SIDEFU to learn about it!
1、 What is washed cotton
1. Material
Water washed cotton is made of cotton cloth. After special treatment, the color and luster of the fabric surface are softer and the feel is more comfortable. Washed cotton materials mainly include natural cotton and chemical fiber fabrics. Natural cotton has good hand feel, good air permeability, good hue and gloss, while chemical fiber fabric is mainly made of polyester, which has good heat preservation, environmental protection and non-toxic. It is an ideal material for water washed cotton.
2. Characteristics
Washed cotton has the characteristics of outstanding film feeling, cotton fiber is not easy to emerge, good tensile strength, water washing resistance, high density, good heat preservation performance, etc. it is one of the ideal materials for medium and high-grade cold proof outdoor clothes.
3. Application
At present, washed cotton is mainly used in the fields of clothing, beddings, fabric, soft furniture, toys and so on.
2、 Classification of washed cotton
In fact, washed cotton can be roughly divided into two categories:
One is natural cotton: it is a fabric with good comfort, soft hand feel and strong sweat absorption. With cotton cloth as raw material, after special treatment, the surface tone and luster of the fabric are softer, the hand feel is softer, and the slight wrinkle reflects a sense of old material. This kind of clothes is not easy to change, fade and iron free. The surface of better washed cotton cloth also has a layer of uniform plush, which is unique in style. Generally speaking, this kind of cotton cloth is more expensive.
There is also a kind of chemical fiber fabric, which is mainly made of polyester. Because polyester itself has good thermal insulation, it is environmentally friendly and non-toxic. So it is an ideal material for washing cotton.
3、 Characteristics of washed cotton
Washed cotton has the characteristics of outstanding film feeling, cotton fiber is not easy to emerge, good tensile strength, water washing resistance, high density, good heat preservation performance, etc. it is one of the ideal materials for medium and high-grade cold proof outdoor clothes.
4、 The difference between washed cotton and pure cotton
1. Different materials
Washed cotton is a kind of fabric made of cotton, while pure cotton fabric is a product made of cotton, so there is a great difference between the two from the initial material. Washed cotton is formed after many special treatments. The surface tone of the fabric is glossy and soft, and the hand feel is also very soft. Pure cotton is interwoven with warp and weft yarns vertically and horizontally through various looms. According to the actual source of processed cotton, it is divided into primary cotton fabric and recycled cotton fabric, which is also different from washed cotton. So from this point of view, because the raw materials of washed cotton and pure cotton are different, the final products naturally have many differences.
2. Different effects
Because of many special treatments, the surface tone and gloss of the washed cotton fabric look very soft. At the same time, the fabric has been treated by double-sided hot pressing and high-temperature hot pressing on the surface, so the fabric has the advantages of not easy to change, not fade, and not iron. At the same time, the fabric has good tensile force, water washing resistance, and the warm keeping effect of the fabric is also very good. Because there are many cotton fibers inside, pure cotton fabric has very good hygroscopicity and heat preservation. The products made of fabric are very soft and warm, and people also like it very much. Moreover, pure cotton has good heat resistance. The pure natural cotton fiber makes the product more green and environmental friendly, so the fabric is very healthy.
