Differentiate, Fabrics Compositions

Understanding the What Difference’s between – Cotton, Polyester Cotton, Polyester Viscose & Cotton Viscose Fabrics

Cotton:

  • Natural fiber sourced from cotton plants.
  • Soft, breathable, and comfortable to wear.
  • Absorbs moisture well, making it suitable for hot weather.
  • Prone to shrinking and wrinkling.

Polyester-Cotton Blend:

  • Combination of polyester and cotton fibers.
  • Blending offers the benefits of both materials: durability of polyester and softness of cotton.
  • Less prone to wrinkling and shrinking compared to pure cotton.
  • Retains color well and dries quickly.

Polyester-Cotton: 

  • This term can be ambiguous but typically refers to a fabric made predominantly of polyester with some cotton content.
  • Often used in durable workwear and uniforms.
  • Offers increased durability and resistance to tearing compared to pure cotton.

Cotton-Viscose:

  • Blend of cotton and viscose fibers, which are derived from natural sources like wood pulp.
  • Viscose adds softness and drape to the fabric.
  • Often used in lightweight, flowing garments like dresses and blouses.
  • More prone to wrinkling compared to polyester blends.
Fabric Type Material Composition Characteristics
Cotton 100% cotton fibers Soft, breathable, absorbent, wrinkles easily
Polyester Cotton Blend of polyester and cotton fibers Durable, wrinkle-resistant, retains shape, less breathable than cotton
Polyester Cotton & Cotton Viscose Blend of polyester, cotton, and viscose fibers Combines durability of polyester, softness of cotton/viscose, wrinkle-resistant
