Out of the many workwear fabrics available, polyester cotton has gained first position by industries and employees due to its distinctive performance and high versatility. This paper will consider in detail the performance features of polyester cotton fabric in order for the reader to appreciate the workwear’s value in the application.
From the name itself, polyester cotton is a fabric made from blending two fibers which are polyester and cotton. Synthetic fiber poses numerous advantages and polyester among them includes high strength, good abrasion resistance and good wrinkle resistance. Natural fiber on the other side just like cotton is appreciated because of its softness and comfort ability which is also moisture absorbing and breathable. Polyester cotton fabric is therefore advantageous due to its multiplicity in function as nit is formed from the two fibers.
To start with, polyester cotton is very strong and thus hardly spoils. Polyester fiber has good tensile strength, so work wear can still look good after repeated use and washing. In addition to this, the wrinkle resistance property of polyester also enable workwear to ‘sit’ well when worn and thus eliminate the use of a lot of starch to iron the garments.
Secondly, polyester cotton performs better in terms of moisture absorption as well as moisture permeability. While it is true that polyester has poor water absorbance, it can be conditioned fabrics rich in cotton that are more efficient in absorbing and wicking away moisture from the skin and are thus very ideal for operations under high heat levels. Cotton fiber in its natural state possesses heat in the winter season and releases heat in the summer, therefore workwear is perfect for all seasons.
Also, the polyester cotton fabric is more durable when it comes to the effort with which the color will remain after it has been washed. This is because polyester is stable to chemicals and does not easily lose its color. The workwear retains its bright color even after many washes, which is beneficial especially for companies that need to preserve a respectable appearance at all times.
To summarize, polyester cotton fabric is easy to cut and sew which enables designers to experiment with various design ideas including some that may be rather complicated. With this, however, antistatic properties also assist in avoiding the effects of static tramps within the working environment.
Thus, with colour retention, moisture permeability, wrinkle resistance and good handle performance of polyester cotton workwear fabric, it has found its best application in the workwear industry. Regardless of the environment, whether it is a construction site, factory workshop, or office premises, polyester cotton workwear makes sure that the employees enjoy their work and project professionalism.
