What is the properties of the poly cotton fabrics?

Answer 1

Cotton-poly fabric is made combining strands of cotton and polyester. This blend is usually quite comfortable because it combines the natural effects of cotton for softness and moisture absorption with the no-iron crispness of polyester. Usually, whichever fiber content is listed first is the dominant fiber, meaning in a cotton poly mixture that is 51% cotton and 49% polyester cotton would be listed first.

A standard everyday poly cotton mix is 65% Polyester 35% cotton, normally the contruction of standard bedsheets, bedlinen etc

Answer 2

You probably are asking about fabric that is made of a blend of cotton and polyester fibers. This is a very common blend, for example a lot of button-front shirts for men and women are made of 60%/40% (either one being the larger percentage) of this combination. It tends to be more comfortable and "breathes" better than 100% polyester, and is less wrinkly and more colorfast than 100% cotton.

Answer 4

I am a quilter and I will only use 100% cotton in my cotton quilts. I can usually tell when I iron the fabric if it is cotton or polycotton. Cotton has virtually no smell when ironed or at least a very natural smell. Polycotton has a very strong chemical smell.
