What do you think about "cotton is better and healthier than microfiber"?

Natural fiber exposure to chemicals is also a lot of cotton picked directly spinning? That is impossible ...... many people on the "natural" may be a little misunderstanding, will feel pure cotton cotton, is freshly picked cotton directly spinning and weaving cloth, sorry, if you really do that, then I'm afraid the clothes will be brown and thick and hard and earth, in short, wearing absolutely both uncomfortable and unattractive. In short, it would be absolutely uncomfortable and unattractive to wear. In fact, from the time the cotton is picked to the time it finally becomes a soft and comfortable garment or textile, there is a very long and cumbersome processing chain in between, and a typical process will usually include ginning - spinning - weaving - dyeing and finishing - cutting - cutting and weaving. -Dyeing - Cutting - Sewing. In this process, in order to present the final color and style, cotton fibers must not only undergo multiple physical processing, but also inevitably multiple chemical treatment. According to the needs of the process, cotton fibers will react with dozens of chemicals, some chemicals will be retained on the fiber to become an important material that constitutes the final textile (eg, dyes, coatings), and some of the role of chemicals is to improve the processing of the process conditions, not with the role of the fiber will not be retained in the fibers (eg, surfactants, finishing aids). For example, we often hear about mercerized cotton, which refers to cotton fabrics that have been mercerized and are commonly used in shirts and T-shirts. Mercerization process refers to the use of cotton fibers in a concentrated alkali solution in the principle of irreversible swelling, cotton yarn or cotton fabrics, after mercerization of cotton yarn or cotton fabrics made of clothing will have a silk-like luster, soft touch. The printing and dyeing process gives textiles rich colors and patterns, and a variety of dyes are used in the process. Traditional vegetable dyes use natural dye extracted from plants. With the full development of the chemical synthesis industry, chemical synthetic dyes have almost replaced the traditional vegetable dyes due to their lower cost, fuller color spectrum, better dyeability and color fixation. The use of reducing dyes to dye cotton blanks, for example, reducing dyes by the insurance powder, caustic soda reduction dissolved into cryptochrome solution, first adsorbed on the surface of cotton fibers, and then to the internal diffusion of the fiber to complete the dyeing of fibers, to bring color to the fabric. Finishing process can improve the appearance of textiles and internal quality, improve the performance or give the textile some kind of special function, and processing should also be used in a variety of finishing additives.

Consumers often see non-iron cotton shirts, the fabric of such cotton shirts is the use of non-iron finishing process, resin cross-linking finishing of garments. Resin molecules and cotton fiber cellulose molecules to form covalent crosslinks, improve the wrinkle-resistant cotton fiber performance, so as to achieve the effect of non-iron. The above is only a brief introduction to the mercerizing, dyeing, finishing process in the cotton fiber or fabrics undergo chemical treatment, in the entire textile processing (especially dyeing and printing, finishing links), textiles come into contact with many more chemicals. Having said that, consumers may be concerned that after so many kinds of chemical treatment, textile products will not become harmful to the body? In fact, the national mandatory standard GB18401-2010 "National Technical Code for Basic Safety of Textile Products" on the safety of textile products to do the most basic requirements, the national standard of textile products, formaldehyde content, pH value, dyeing fastness, odor, decomposition of carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes have strict requirements to ensure that the textile products are safe and harmless to the human body. Textile products for infants and young children should comply with the requirements of the above standards in category A, and products in direct contact with the skin should at least comply with the requirements of the standard in category B. So look down, you must have found, even if it is "pure cotton", contact with chemicals are not at all less ...... can we wear so many cotton clothing are also very safe, this is because of qualified textiles implementation of the national standard, so we really do not! Tangled production process and "chemical" two words, directly look at the finished product is not in line with the national standard on the line, and this also applies to chemical fiber products.

Chemical fiber, more efficiently different from natural fibers, chemical fiber is a class of chemical methods and made of fiber, chemical fiber only a short history of more than a hundred years, but the production is very large, rich in variety. Compared to cotton fibers need to be planted through agriculture, seeds after a certain growth cycle after some harvest, to enter the back of the industrial process, chemical fiber production is more "direct", from the source directly into the high-efficiency industrial processing. Chemical fiber family in the largest production of synthetic fibers, for example, the source of synthetic fibers is petroleum, petroleum through the chemical system of layers of extraction, separation, the production of such fibers need small molecules of organic compounds, and then small molecules of organic compounds by the polymerization or polycondensation reaction to synthesize organic polymer compounds, and then after a variety of processes to become fibers. The same as the chemical fiber man-made fibers, natural polymer compounds or derivatives to dissolve the first purification, in order to carry out the subsequent production and processing, will not repeat here. The emergence of chemical fibers has greatly enriched the variety and performance of textiles and clothing, giving the product some functions and features that are different from those of natural fiber materials. For example, polyester's distinctive feature is its poor hydrophilicity, which makes polyester fabrics easy to dry, and many high-quality, quick-drying sports apparel materials are made of microfiber polyester. Microfiber is woven into fabrics, the formation of capillary siphon effect between the fibers, will accelerate the evaporation of sweat on the surface of the fiber, to keep the surface of the human body in motion dry and comfortable. Researchers have developed cotton-like polyester, a polyester with the advantages of cotton fibers, its hydrophilicity has been significantly improved; cashmere-like polyester is to draw on the experience of cotton-like polyester developed with the characteristics of wool fibers polyester, its surface, cross-section are honeycomb microporous structure, the fineness and cashmere close to the cashmere and cashmere-like soft and delicate feel and good moisture absorption and air permeability.

After the characteristics of natural fibers and chemical fibers are fully understood, people in product development is often blended or interwoven process, so that the advantages of natural fibers and chemical fibers, so as to achieve the effect of 1 +1 > 2. The most common example is polyester-cotton blended fabrics, usually using 65% polyester and 35% cotton fiber blended weaving and become. Polyester-cotton blended fabric strength, abrasion resistance and shape retention is better than cotton fabrics, while at the same time both a certain degree of moisture absorption and soft feel. For example, the traditional jeans using cotton yarn weaving, although moisture absorption is good, but lack of elasticity, poor fit, after people developed a variety of fabrics suitable for jeans, for example, there is a high elasticity denim is the use of cotton and spandex yarn interweaving products, interwoven into the high elasticity of the spandex yarn (usually in the 3%-5%), you can get elastic denim fabrics, fit and comfortable, to ensure that the denim clothing The special style of denim clothing is based on the added comfort.

Natural fibers and chemical fibers have their own advantages, they weave a rich and colorful clothing and textiles, textile products in line with national standards are safe and reliable, consumers can buy according to the actual use of the need to buy.
