Nylon/cotton is also called metallic fabric. It is because nylon/cotton fabric contains metallic fabric. Metallic fabric is a high-grade fabric made by that metal is implanted in the fabric after wiredrawing and then processed into fiber. The proportion of metallic fabric is about 3~8%. The higher the proportion of metallic fabric accounts for, the more expensive the fabric will be.
Because it is implanted metallic fabric, nylon/cotton fabric has brilliant color shade, which can reflect the unique luster of the metal. It is wear-resistant and durable. It has highly comfortable hand feeling. Therefore, it is used to make casual cotton-padded clothes, ready-to-wear coats and casual down jackets, etc.
The Differences between Nylon/Cotton and Cotton
1.Different raw material
Nylon/cotton fabric is interwoven on the air jet loom by nylon yarn and cotton yarn. Cotton fabric is made of cotton as raw material, which is interwoven by warp and weft yarn on the loom.
2.Different application
Cotton is suitable for clothing that has relatively high requirement for absorption. And nylon/cotton fabric is bright and lustrous and has smooth, dry and plump handle. It is more suitable for female leggings, windbreaker, padded jacket and jacket, etc.
3.Different features
Cotton has the characteristics of moisture absorption, moisture preservation, heat resistance, alkali resistance and health caring, etc. Generally, cotton fabric has better moisture absorption and heat resistance. And it is comfortable for wearing. But it is easy to crease and deform.
Nylon/cotton fabric is resistant to wear and wash. It has good shape retention and warmth retention property. Its surface is smooth and easy to clean. But its anti-creasing property and color fastness is poor. It is easily influenced by high temperature, sunlight and humid, and then has fading and aging.
4.Different price
The raw material of nylon/cotton is added nylon and metallic fabric. So the making cost and selling price of nylon/cotton is higher than those of cotton.
