Cotton
for every need
The word cotton comes from the Arabic word “quton” and the earliest production of cotton was in India, where the material dates back to the fifth millennium B.C. Cotton fiber is a natural material, which is obtained from cotton wool that wraps the seeds of Gossypium, an originally Indian shrub. Cotton fibers are primarily composed of cellulose, a compound crucial to plant structure, 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.
