The emergence and popularity of polycotton fabric

Polyester and cotton have their own advantages and disadvantages. In order to neutralize their respective advantages and make up for their respective shortcomings, in many cases, the two materials are combined in a certain proportion to achieve the effects needed in daily life-polyester cotton Fabric.

Polyester cotton-sometimes called polycotton or TC/CVC is a mixture of natural cotton and synthetic polyester. This mixture blends cotton fibers with man-made polyester fibers. Generally, the ratio of this mixture is 65% cotton and 35% polyester. It is not limited to such a ratio. Poly-cotton blends are very popular because it is stronger, more customizable, and more versatile (drying faster) than 100% cotton, so it is used to make many types of clothes. At the same time, it does not naturally stick to the skin like 100% polyester. Cotton and polyester blends are widely used in the consumer apparel industry and appear in large numbers in retail stores. Lightweight polyester-cotton blended fabrics are used for shirts and shirts, while heavier blended fabrics are used for skirts, pants and autumn clothes. All styles have multiple proportions.

The main benefit of cotton is that it is a breathable material; this is why it is such a popular fabric. However, the biggest disadvantage is that 100% cotton is easy to wear out and tear up. The elastic properties of polyester make it more durable than cotton. This is where cotton and polyester blends come in. Fabrics made from polyester-cotton blends have the combined strength of polyester and cotton.

Polyester itself is not a breathable fabric, it tends to stick to the skin. Once you start to sweat, polyester can be annoying and not the most comfortable fabric. The combination of cotton and polyester makes clothing less prone to fluffing and static electricity. One of the main advantages of cotton-polyester blends is that more wrinkle-free.

Cotton’s characteristics of soft fabric that is pleasing to the touch, breathing capacity and absorbency make it ideal for blending with  polyester that possesses high strength, abrasion resistance, and wrinkle recovery properties.
