Cotton for every need
Cotton fiber is a natural material, which is obtained from cotton wool that wraps the seeds of Gossypium, an originally Indian shrub. The cotton fiber is single-celled, white or cream-white, for the American types, intense cream-brown for the African and Asian ones. The fiber on the inside is formed by almost pure cellulose and is covered by a very thin wood layer, called COTTON WAX, which attributes characteristics such as brilliance, softness to the touch and impermeability.
Cotton fibers are divided according to color, shine and softness, which vary according to their origin. From a chemical point of view, cotton contains 90% of cellulose; the remaining 10% is made up of pectins, waxes and pigments.
Cotton is 100% bio-degradable.
Another very important feature of cotton is that it is hypoallergenic, in fact it can rarely cause allergic reactions. Cotton is very versatile, in fact when combined with other materials it can form many other fabrics.
