Cotton

Cotton is a soft, fluffy fiber that grows in protective bolls around cotton seeds. Naturally white or off-white, it’s spun into yarn for textiles and apparel. Fibers typically range from 20–45 mm in length.

Fiber Length : 0.5 to 2 inches (12 to 50 mm)

Fiber Diameter : 12 to 20 microns

Color: White, Cream, Yellowish, Grey, Brown, or Green

Tenacity: 3.0 to 5.0 grams/denier (dry), 2.5 to 4.5 grams/denier (wet)

Elongation at Break : 3 to 10%

Moisture Regain : 7 to 8.5%

Density: 1.54 to 1.56 g/cm³

Micronaire (Fineness) : 3.5 to 5.0 (arbitrary units indicating fiber fineness and maturity)

Strength: Strong when dry, weaker when wet

Specific Gravity : 1.50 to 1.54

Burning Behavior : Burns readily with a steady flame and gives off a smell of burning paper

Decomposition Temperature : 240 to 260°C

Thermal Conductivity : Low

Electrical Conductivity : Poor

Resiliency: Poor (wrinkles easily)

Resistance to Acids : Good resistance to dilute acids, damaged by strong acids

Resistance to Alkalis : Good resistance to alkalis, especially dilute ones

Resistance to Organic Solvents : Generally good

Absorbency: High, absorbs up to 24-27 times its own weight in water

Luster: Matte to slightly lustrous

Abrasion Resistance : Moderate

Dimensional Stability : Good if properly finished, may shrink if untreated

Hand: Soft and comfortable

Dye Affinity : High, dyes well with direct, reactive, vat, and sulfur dyes
