1. Strong moisture absorption, high shrinkage rate, about 4-10%

2. Alkali resistant but not acid resistant. Cotton cloth is extremely unstable to inorganic acids, and even dilute sulfuric acid can damage it, but the effect of organic acids is weak and almost negligible. Cotton cloth is more alkali resistant. Generally, dilute alkali does not affect cotton cloth at room temperature, but under strong alkali, the strength of cotton cloth will decrease. Frequently using 20% caustic soda solution to treat cotton fabric can produce “mercerized” cotton fabric

3. Light resistance and heat resistance are average. Cotton fabric will slowly oxidize in sunlight and the atmosphere, causing a decrease in strength. Long term high-temperature treatment can cause damage to cotton fabric, but it can withstand short-term high-temperature treatment at 125-150 ° C.

4. Microorganisms have a destructive effect on cotton fabrics, manifested by their lack of resistance to mold.

5. Hygiene: Cotton fiber is a natural fiber, mainly composed of cellulose, as well as a small amount of waxy substances, nitrogen-containing substances, and pectin. Pure cotton fabric has undergone multiple inspections and practices. The contact between the fabric and the skin is non irritating and has no negative effects. It is beneficial and harmless to the human body when worn for a long time, and has good hygiene performance.
