The Difference Between Lyocell Fiber And Cotton

Lyocell fiber:

Lyocell fiber is a new type of cellulose fiber developed abroad in the 1990s, its raw materials are inexhaustible cellulose in nature, no chemical reaction occurs in the production, the solvent used is non-toxic and can be recycled 99.7%, the obtained fiber products set the advantages of natural fibers and synthetic fibers in one, through a variety of post-processing technology combination, Not only can be made into thousands of different styles of fabrics for the clothing industry, but also can be made into filter materials, non-woven fabrics and other applications in other fields. In addition, the product waste is biodegradable. Therefore, the whole process is simple, advanced, and fully in line with environmental protection requirements, in recent years has become a hot spot in the international textile industry.

Cotton:

Air permeability: Pure cotton clothes are more breathable, and because cotton is natural and does not contain chemical materials such as chemical fibers, it is better for children's skin.

Hygroscopic: cotton fiber has good hygroscopic properties, under normal circumstances, the fiber can absorb water to the surrounding atmosphere, its moisture content is 8-10%, so it contacts the human skin, making people feel soft and not stiff. If the humidity of the cotton cloth increases and the surrounding temperature is higher, the water content contained in the fiber will all evaporate and disperse, so that the fabric maintains a state of water balance, making people feel comfortable.

Moisturizing: Because cotton fiber is a poor conductor of heat and electricity, the heat conductivity is very low, and because cotton fiber itself has the advantages of porosity, high elasticity, a lot of air can be stored between the fibers, and air is a poor conductor of heat and electricity, so cotton fiber textiles have good moisturizing properties, wearing cotton clothing makes people feel warm.

Heat resistance: pure cotton fabrics have good heat resistance, below 110℃, it will only cause the evaporation of water on the fabric, will not damage the fiber, so pure cotton fabrics at room temperature, wear and use, washing and dyeing have no effect on the fabric, thus improving the washable wear performance of pure cotton fabrics.

Alkali resistance: cotton fiber resistance to alkali ability is large, cotton fiber in alkali solution, fiber does not occur damage phenomenon, the performance is conducive to the washing of pollution after taking, disinfection and removal of impurities, but also can be dyed cotton textiles, printing and various processes to produce more new varieties of cotton.

Health: Cotton fiber is a natural fiber, its main component is cellulose, and a small amount of waxy substances and nitrogen and fruit gum. Pure cotton fabric through various inspection and practice, fabric and skin contact without any irritation, no negative effect, long-term wear to the human body is beneficial and harmless, good health performance.
