Different Types of Cotton Fabric

Our cotton fabric portfolio combines innovation and sustainability, offering versatile solutions for diverse needs. Organic cotton prioritizes eco-friendly cultivation, while artificial cotton (e.g., rayon blends) enhances affordability and softness. Cotton-bamboo charcoal integrates natural odor resistance, ideal for activewear. Cotton-polyester blends balance durability and wrinkle resistance, whereas 100% cotton delivers breathability and comfort. Cotton-spandex nylon spandex ensures stretchability for form-fitting apparel. Tencel-cotton and Modal-cotton blends elevate softness and moisture-wicking, aligning with luxury and performance demands. Each variant adheres to rigorous quality standards, from OEKO-TEX certifications to advanced finishes, ensuring functionality across fashion, sportswear, and home textiles.

Why Cotton Fabric Remains a Staple in the Textile Industry

​​Composition & Structure
  • Made of cellulose (87–90%), with natural impurities and moisture .

  • Fibers form fluffy, round bolls after seed maturation, which are mechanically processed into yarn and woven into fabric

​​Properties
  • Breathable and hypoallergenic, ideal for sensitive skin .

  • High moisture absorption (up to 8–10% of its weight), keeping wearers cool and dry .

  • Soft texture but prone to wrinkling, shrinkage, and moderate durability compared to wool or synthetics

Applications
  • Widely used in clothing (e.g., shirts, jeans, underwear), home textiles (bedding, towels), and industrial products .

  • Blended with polyester or spandex to enhance durability, stretch, or wrinkle resistance

  • Sustainability:

  • Biodegradable and renewable, with organic cotton reducing synthetic pesticide use .

  • Advances like CRISPR/Cas genome editing aim to improve crop resilience and fiber quality

Variants
  • Includes organic cotton(eco-friendly cultivation), Pima/Egyptian cotton (longer, softer fibers),  and blends like cotton-polyester(easy-care) or cotton-spandex(stretch).

  • While cotton excels in comfort and eco-friendliness, its drawbacks include slower drying times and susceptibility to pilling . Innovations in textile science continue to refine its performance for modern demands.

Benefits of Using Cotton Fabric for Breathable and Comfortable Clothing

Breathability & Comfort​​
Breathability & Comfort​​
Cotton allows air circulation, absorbs moisture (up to 8–10% of its weight), and feels soft against the skin, making it ideal for everyday wear and sensitive skin . Its hypoallergenic nature reduces ...
​​Durability​​
​​Durability​​
Pure cotton is strong and becomes tougher when wet, resisting wear and tear over time . Long-staple variants like Pima or Egyptian cotton offer superior softness and longevity .
​​Sustainability​​
​​Sustainability​​
As a biodegradable, renewable fiber, cotton (especially organic) has a lower environmental impact than synthetics. Organic cotton avoids synthetic pesticides, aligning with eco-conscious trends .
​​Versatility​​
​​Versatility​​
Cotton adapts to various weaves (e.g., denim, jersey) and blends (e.g., cotton-spandex for stretch), catering to diverse needs from casual tees to formal shirts
