The benefits of pure cotton

When people buy clothes nowadays, they like to ask whether they are made of pure cotton. If they are not, they generally will not buy them, especially when buying close-fitting clothes, such as underwear, autumn clothes and autumn trousers. Also, when buying clothes for babies, they generally choose to buy pure cotton because it is less irritating to the human body.

The reason why people now like to buy clothes made of pure cotton is inseparable from the benefits of pure cotton. People nowadays have a very different pursuit of life than before. Many friends pursue a high-quality life, so they are more particular about the clothes they wear. So, what are the specific benefits of pure cotton?

1. Hygroscopicity : Cotton fiber has good hygroscopicity. Under normal circumstances, the fiber can absorb moisture from the surrounding atmosphere. Its moisture content is 8-10%, so when it touches human skin, it makes people feel soft but not stiff. If the humidity of cotton cloth increases and the surrounding temperature is high, all the water contained in the fibers will evaporate, keeping the fabric in a water balance state and making people feel comfortable.

2. Moisturizing : Since cotton fiber is a poor conductor of heat and electricity and has an extremely low thermal conductivity coefficient, and 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, pure cotton fiber textiles have good moisturizing properties, and wearing pure cotton clothing makes people feel warm.

3. Heat resistance : Pure cotton fabrics have good heat resistance. When the temperature is below 110℃, it will only cause the water on the fabric to evaporate, and will not damage the fiber. Therefore, pure cotton fabrics will not be affected by wearing, using, washing, printing and dyeing at room temperature, thereby improving the washability and durability of pure cotton fabrics.

4. Alkali resistance : Cotton fiber has a strong resistance to alkali. In alkaline solution, the cotton fiber will not be damaged. This property is conducive to washing the contamination, disinfecting and removing impurities after wearing. At the same time, pure cotton textiles can also be dyed, printed and processed in various ways to produce more new varieties of cotton fabrics.

5. Hygiene : Cotton fiber is a natural fiber, the main component of which is cellulose, as well as a small amount of waxy substances, nitrogen-containing substances and pectin.

The above are all the benefits of pure cotton. In addition, after many scientific experiments, it has been found that clothes made of pure cotton material are indeed not irritating to human skin. Therefore, for newborn babies, it is generally recommended that they wear pure cotton clothes to avoid causing any irritation to the baby's skin and causing allergies.
