A short description about Cotton Fiber.

                                   Cotton Fiber

A short description about cotton fiber:


Ginning: Ginning is the process by which cotton fiber separate from seed.
On based of ginning cotton fiber is two types:
1. Lint
2. Linters

Lint: The fiber which are obtained or got after 1st ginning.
These fibers are spinable.
Length: >.5” {.5”-2.5”}
 Quality: Better.
Used for producing yarn.

Linters: The fabric which are obtained or got after 2nd or 3rd ginning.
             -Short, seedy.
             -Fibers are can be Broken
             -Length: < .5”
              -Quality: Inferior
             -Used for producing regenerate fiber.
            -Product: Paper, Bank Notes, Stamp Paper.

For getting best quality fiber and seed ginning is done.

QUSN:Now try to make a short difference list between LINT & LINTERS.

Difference between Hydrophilic & Hydrophobic fiber?

Difference between Hydrophilic & Hydrophobic fiber: Hydrophilic Hydrophobic The fibers which is absorb water is known as Hydrophobic fibers. The fibers which is not absorb water is known as Hydrophobic fibers. Most of natural fibers are Hydrophilic fiber. Most of man-made fibers are Hydrophilic fiber. These are less sustainable. These are more sustainable. This types of fibers attract moisture of the body. This types of fibers repel moisture of the body. This types of fibers are more comfortable than Hydrophobic fibers. This types of fibers are less comfortable than Hydrophilic fibers. These fibers has low intermolecular force. These fibers has high intermolecular force.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COMBED AND CARDED YARNS?

 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COMBED AND CARDED YARNS: Combing and carding are two ways to prepare the raw fiber for spinning. In order to make yarn, the raw fibers need to be fluffed up and aligned prior to spinning. -Carding creates a slightly fuzzier yarn as not as many of the fibers are aligned. -Combing creates a smoother yarn as the fibers are more aligned. Combing is the more expensive process as you have higher waste involved than with carding.
