distinguish between artificial cotton and whole cotton

Concept: Artificial cotton is a common term for viscose fibers. Viscose fibers refer to cellulose materials extracted from wood and plant stems, among others α- Cellulose, or artificial fibers made from cotton short fibers, processed into spinning solution, and then wet spun. Concept: Pure cotton fabric is a textile made from cotton as raw material, interwoven by warp and weft yarns in a weaving machine. At present, according to the actual source of processed cotton, it is further divided into native cotton fabrics and recycled cotton fabrics. Eight methods for distinguishing woven fabrics: The appearance of artificial cotton fabric is very similar to cotton fabric, and the main differences are as follows: 1. Smoothness: Artificial cotton fabric, with a flat surface, minimal yarn defects, no impurities, fine and smooth; On the surface of cotton cloth, cotton shells, impurities, etc. can be seen, and the smoothness is not as good as synthetic cotton cloth. 2. Uniformity of yarn count: The yarn count of artificial cotton fabric is even and has few yarn defects; However, the yarn count of pure cotton is not as uniform as that of artificial cotton, especially for medium coarse fabrics. 3. Touch: Regardless of the thickness of the fabric, synthetic cotton fabric has a soft touch, while cotton fabric has a slightly rough and hard feel. 4. Color: Artificial cotton fabric has excellent luster and color, and compared to cotton fabric, artificial cotton fabric is more vibrant and beautiful. 5. Wrinkling: Artificial cotton fabric is prone to wrinkling. When holding a piece of fabric with your hand and scattering it, many wrinkles appear, which is not easy to recover in time. Although cotton fabric has wrinkles, they are milder than artificial cotton. 6. Drapability: Artificial cotton has better drapability, while cotton fabric has lower drapability than artificial cotton fabric. 7. Strength: Artificial cotton fabric has lower strength and is not as strong as cotton fabric, especially in humid environments. Artificial cotton has poor fastness. When drawn from the edge of the fabric and stretched, artificial cotton is more prone to breakage than cotton thread. Therefore, the texture of artificial cotton is mostly thicker and not as light and thin as pure cotton and linen yarn. 8. Burning: Artificial cotton is close to the flame and quickly burns, just like when we burn plastic, black smoke and curls dissolve. The lower the cotton content, the stronger the gum feeling; Cotton is close to flames and does not shrink or melt. Contact with flames, rapidly burning, with orange flames and blue smoke. Leave the flame and continue to burn, burning paper with less odor and ashes, forming a linear shape. The ash is fine and soft, appearing light gray, and can easily form powder when touched by hand.
