Mercerized cotton is a fabric made of silk and cotton fibers. Silk is a natural protein fiber composed of silkworm silk or the secretions of the silk glands of other insects. It has the characteristics of luster, softness and good texture. Cotton fiber is a fiber naturally produced in cotton seeds. It has the characteristics of good hygroscopicity, good breathability, softness and comfort.
When making mercerized cotton, silk fibers and cotton fibers are usually mixed and woven in a certain proportion. Silk fibers give mercerized cotton its smooth, soft properties, giving it the texture and luster of silk. At the same time, silk fibers can also increase the strength and durability of mercerized cotton. Cotton fiber adds breathability and moisture absorption to mercerized cotton, allowing it to stay dry and comfortable in hot weather.
In the production process of mercerized cotton, silk fibers and cotton fibers are combined through textile technology to form a uniform fabric. This production method can give full play to the advantages of silk and cotton fibers, making mercerized cotton a fabric that has both the texture of silk and the comfort of cotton fibers.
Therefore, the raw materials of mercerized cotton are mainly composed of silk and cotton fibers. The fabric of this material is not only comfortable and soft, but also gives people a smooth and bright touch.
