Cotton fabric is a synthetic fabric made from the main raw material, cotton yarn provided by cotton plants and many natural materials combined with chemicals. Depending on the percentage of cotton fibers in the fabric, the manufacturer determines each type of fabric:

For example:

  • 100% cotton is a fabric that uses 100% cotton fibers along with a number of chemicals that make the fabric longer, more durable and softer.
  • 80% cotton is in the fabric only 80% is pure cotton yarn, the remaining 20% can be nylon, or other synthetic fibers, making the fabric highly glossy.

How is the cotton fabric production process carried out?

To get quality cotton sheets to serve the needs of today's consumers. The cotton production process has to go through it step by step and it is not easy. Specifically, each step is as follows:

  • Phase 2: Harvest the 2nd batch after 1-15 days, pick the cotton fruits located in the middle stem of the plant.
  • Phase 3: Harvest all the cotton fruits that have bloomed at the top of the tree.

After the harvest period, the cotton fiber will be sorted, selecting only the remaining quality-assured fruits will be removed. Quality cotton fibers will be dried in cool, dry places so as not to mix impurities.

Stage 2: Refining cotton fibers

Refining cotton fiber is considered one of the important stages in the cotton production process. At this step, the impurities in the fiber will be separated and cleaned of the fiber. This step will be performed after the cotton fiber has been thoroughly dried. Cotton fibers will be transferred to refining plants, when coming here cotton fibers will be torn off, helping to separate fibers while ensuring that they do not affect the quality of single fibers.
Next, cotton fibers will be put into the oven to cook and filter again and again to remove impurities such as nitrogen, pectin, organic acids or natural colors until only the essence cotton fiber remains.

Stage 3: Dissolution and spinning

After the refining process, the cotton fiber will turn into a liquid form, which will then be dissolved with some special solutions to form a mixture. It is this mixture that will be fed into the spinning machine and pressed through small holes to stretch from there to form cotton fibers.

Stage 4: Cotton weaving process:

This is the chemical processing of cotton fiber fabric. The weft and warp fibers will be woven forming canvases. In the process of weaving cotton fabric, the fabrics continue to be polished to allow the cotton yarn to expand, increasing the water permeability and color capture of the dyed yarn. Next will be bleaching the fabric to make the fabric lose its inherent natural color, clean of grease stains and have the whiteness required to enter the fabric dyeing process.
