What is the relationship between the cross-sectional shape of mercerized cotton and the degree of mercerization

By admin / Date Jul 01,2022
The mercerized cotton fibers are approximately circular in cross section. The yarn mercerized, fabric mercerized and double-mercerized fabrics were sliced ​​by resin rapid embedding and slicing technology. It can be seen that the mercerization of cotton fibers in double-mercerized yarns is higher than that of yarns and fabrics that have only undergone one mercerization treatment. In the mercerized yarn, the mercerization of the cotton fiber is high, the circularity of the fiber cross-section is high, and the proportion of the fiber cross-section with high circularity in the yarn cross-section is also large.

Dull Matt Silk Yarn 295/3TEX
Dull Matt Silk Yarn 295/3TEX

Name: Dull Matt Silk Yarn 295/3TEX

Specification: 295/3 TEX

Introduction: It is made by 100% Spun Silk with high quality & competitive price. The yarn is well used for a series of high-end handmade Carpet, Tapestry, Craft carpet Ect.


Therefore, it can be inferred that the cross-sectional shape of the mercerized cotton with different degrees of mercerization is also different. The fiber cross-section of the mercerized cotton with a higher degree of mercerization has a higher degree of circularity, and the proportion of the fiber cross-section with a high degree of circularity in the yarn cross-section is also higher. big. In fact, the cross-sectional morphology of mercerized cotton fibers can be used to identify the mercerization of cotton fibers by using the resin rapid embedding section technology.

The cross-sectional and longitudinal characteristics of mercerized cotton are different from those of hemp fibers, so the unique morphological characteristics of mercerized cotton can be used when identifying cotton and hemp fibers. The cost of mercerized cotton products is relatively high, and the end consumer products are generally high-end POLO shirts, T-shirts, shirts and business socks. The best quality mercerized cotton products are: combed singeed double mercerized mercerized cotton made of high-count long-staple cotton. Consumers should pay attention to distinguishing mercerized cotton products that are only made of fabric mercerized or made of low-count cotton. 

How to care for mercerized cotton:
(1) It should be washed with neutral detergent when washing. After washing, it should not be twisted, sun-dried, and hang to dry naturally.
(2) Because of the strong adsorption force of the fabric, contact with pesticides and other items should be avoided, and it must be fireproof.
(3) Mercerized cotton has strong hygroscopicity, and the clothes you wear should be put in a ventilated place to wait for the sweat to evaporate before wearing, and ventilation should be maintained after washing.
