Cotton
Cotton is a natural fibre that has been the backbone of the textile
industry for many years. It is considered one of the more versatile fibres
and is woven and knitted into many fabrics of diferent properties such
as Jersey, Interlock, Pique, Linen and others.
Cotton grown in different climates may possess slightly different characterics,
such as strength, softness and wearability. This is most noticable in
tightly woven fabrics like sheeting and linen.
Most cotton fabrics tend to wrinkle unless folded neatly or pressed.
Polyester
Polyester for textiles resembles cotton balls before being spun
into thread. Polyester is a man made fibre derived from petroleum, which
after processing can have a range of different properties. New processes
for polyester fabric production are still being invented, and new exciting
fabrics are emerging.
Polyester tends to not require ironing and is generally harder wearing
for a given thickness than cotton.
Polycotton Blends
Polyester and cotton are commonly spun together to create threads
for blended babrics, combining the properties of each. Common blends (in
%) include 25/75, 50/50, 70/30, 95/5.
Kooldri
KoolDri creates a cool, dry, comfort for high exertion, high climate
living, in the sporting, leisure, and work environment.
KoolDri's micro construction causes the yarns to bulk up when exposed
to moisture, and quickly dry when exposed to air.
KoolDri wicks away perspiration from your skin to its outer surface, spreading
moisturefrom fibre to fibre with capillary action.
KoolDri dries quickly through evaporation by the movement of air across
the fabric. KoolDri has an anti- bacterial treatment to keep garments
fresh.
KoolDri is a unique fibre construction and is lightweight and highly breathable;
it is a yarn, not a fabric and can be knitted into different forms such
as micromesh, pique knit, herringbone, waffle, etc.
