Properties of Cotton/Polyester Blend
This informative content explores the various properties of cotton/polyester blend including lustre, drape, abrasion resistance, strength, absorbency, elongation, thermal properties, resiliency, dimensional stability, elasticity, effects of chemicals, sun resistance, and color fastness. The blend offers a combination of superior strength, increased absorbency, enhanced durability, improved comfort, and resistance to heat. Additionally, it discusses the variation in properties based on the percentage mix of fibers in the blend.

PROPERTIES OF COTTON/POLYESTER
LUSTRE Variable, depending on the percentage mix of the fibres.
DRAPE Variable, depending on the percentage mix of the fibres.
ABRASION RESISTANCE This blend increases the abrasion resistance of all-cotton.
STRENGTH Superior strength is the result of this blended fibre.
ABSORBENCY The blend is a more comfortable alternative to all polyester s the absorbency is increased.
ELONGATION Cottons elongation in improved by blending with polyester.
THERMAL PROPERTIES Polyester component is now more resistant to heat, but cotton now retains more heat.
RESILIENCY the resiliency if cotton/polyester is increased significantly compared to plain cotton.
DIMENSIONAL STABILITY The dimensional stability of cotton/polyester is increased significantly compared to plain cotton.
ELASTICITY The elasticity of cotton/polyester is increased significantly compared to plain cotton.
EFFECT OF CHEMICALS The effect of chemical will vary in relation to the percentages of the mixing blend of fibres.
SUN RESISTANCE Generally, the cotton/polyester resistance to sun in increased.
COLOUR FASTNESS Colour fastness will vary in relation to the percentages of the mixing blend of fibres.
SHRINK RESISTANCE Generally, cotton/polyester s shrink resistance is improved.
RESISTANCE TO BIOLOGICAL ATTACK Results will vary in relation to the percentages of the mixing blend of fibres.
